Conching is a critical step in the manufacturing of chocolate. In this phase, your chocolate mix is agitated and superficially scraped by a conch, allowing the cocoa butter to separate amalgamated particles and distribute your cocoa butter more evenly. The heat generated by the process volatilizes acids improving the texture and aroma of the finished product. Early machines used vessels in the shape of a conch shell, giving the equipment its name.

Conching

<span style="font-weight: 400">The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.</span>

Heating

<span style="font-weight: 400">The molding process is often included in bakery products. Utilizing molding equipment guarantees a uniform shape, weight, and size. The molding machine first gently flattens the dough mix by going through a sheeter, where a series of rollers press the thin piece of dough. The sheet is then cut into the specified shape and, depending on your final product, may be rolled by using a curling chain. After the molding, other ingredients may be added before the products are conveyed for baking or freezing.</span>

Moulding

Roasting involves extended exposure to heat in an oven or over a fire. Depending on your end product, roasting equipment makes sure that the raw materials you put in undergo even roast intensity before they are transferred for further processing. Some roasting technologies may also be used for other cooking requirements, including toasting and drying. When thinking about roasting, the idea of roasted coffee comes to mind. However, there are a wide array of food products that go through a roasting process. For example, nuts such as almonds and cashews go through a roasting machine

Roasting

Tempering equipment is most commonly used in manufacturing chocolate products as well as bakery products. However, tempering can also be found in the metals industry for processing alloys. The idea behind the tempering process is to heat two or more items to a certain temperature so that they can be blended together easier. Chocolatiers pass the chocolate through a heating cycle and then a cooling tunnel to give their final products a smooth and glossy finish. Tempering machines automate this process, evenly distributing the crystal structure in melted chocolate across the entire production line. Besides enhancing the look and texture of coatings, denser and consistent crystallization also has the benefit of slowing down fat migration in your chocolate-filled products. A vibrating table is an important component for tempering chocolate. First the chocolate mixture goes through a dispenser into the chocolate mould. After which the vibrating table is used to evenly distribute the mixture in the mould so that there are no air bubbles. Thus, creating a smooth and consistent final product.

Dispersing systems are used to produce emulsions of two immiscible liquids or dispersions of solid particles in a liquid medium. The mixers generally operate on the rotor/stator principle and apply a high shear force on the suspended particles to break them down. The choice of a dispersion mixer depends on the physical state of the material being dispersed, the continuous or batch nature of the process, desired particle size, and the viscosity of the mixture. Dispersion mixers are widely used in the food industry for the dispersion of solid ingredients in oil or water and in the coatings industry for the dispersion of pigments.

Dispersing

Grinders use a spinning blade or rotating abrasive elements to reduce the size of various materials. The specifications, RPM and grit of the engineered grinder, will result in various particle sizes. As a result, what you want to make will determine the type of grinder you need. Grinding is used for improving the texture and flow properties of various products and to enhance the flavor of food products such as coffee, spices, sugar, nuts, sesame, poppy seeds, lentils, wheat, and rice. Choosing the right rotational speed, grinding elements, and processing power allow the grinding and shredding of a wide range of materials into coarse or fine powders. Popular types of heavy duty grinders in food processing include angle grinders, bench grinders and meat grinders.

To put into perspective, the average number of peanuts that you use to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter is 540 pieces. Peanut butter is widely used as a spread for most bread and biscuits. To make it, use raw peanuts and process them using peanut butter making machines.

Peanut butter

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts are one of the most popular edible seeds in the world. You can eat them as-is or process them further into on-the-shelf products like peanut butter, oil, snacks, and soups. Depending on what you want to make, some peanut manufacturing processes include roasting, frying, boiling, grinding, pressing, and coating the peanuts.
