Pre-refiner for chocolate processing

Optimize pre-refining in chocolate and cocoa production with precise fineness control, allowing for seamless integration into your processing line.

Processes Chocolate and Cocoa for Optimal Pre-Refining

The Pre-Refiners HVS from Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken are designed to enhance your chocolate and cocoa processing. Available in the HVS 140E and HVS 100E models, these pre-refiners stand out for their automatic roller gap settings and compact hydraulic systems with pressure buffers, enabling continuous operation without production interruption. With a capacity of up to 6000 kg/h at 175 µm, these machines efficiently process both dry and soft masses, ideal for producing chocolate bars, cocoa powder, and nut pastes. The pre-refiners integrate seamlessly into your production line, featuring energy-efficient hydraulic units that reduce energy consumption. Made with stainless steel, they ensure durability and hygiene, with a design that supports easy maintenance and cleaning.
