Winnowing system for cocoa processing
In the cocoa processing industry, achieving a high yield with minimal shell content is crucial. Traditional methods can result in significant fines and inefficient separation, causing waste and lowering product quality.
Efficiently separate cocoa nibs from shells
The Barth Winnower from Buhler is an advanced system designed for precise separation of cocoa nibs from shells. This system features a two-stage crushing process with impact crushers, allowing for finely tuned control of crushing intensity based on cocoa bean origin. It includes high-capacity sieving with the option of 3 to 7 sieve decks and an integrated shell aspiration. This flexibility minimizes fines and provides high separation efficiency, ensuring maximum yield regardless of the beans’ characteristics. Its swing-out aspiration box makes maintenance and cleaning straightforward. Additionally, automatic parameterization adjusts vacuum control for optimal separation, regardless of throughput or sieve condition.
Benefits
- Easy maintenance with swing-out aspiration box
- Consistent product quality with automatic parameterization
- High yield with two-stage crushing process
- Minimal fines with optimized sieving system
- Customizable sieving for different production capacities
