Chocolate Grinding Equipment

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

Chocolate bars

Bonbons are chocolate confectioneries originating from the French royal court in the 17th century. From the French word bon meaning “good”, bonbons are chocolate candies with a filling inside, usually fruits, brittle, nougat, or caramel. Equipment for chocolate bonbons are varied and must be capable of chocolate tempering, molding, scraping, filling, and covering.

Chocolate bonbons

Chocolate in its liquid form is a versatile confection that can serve as a coating for different desserts. The liquid chocolate-making process utilizes a chocolate coating machine and goes through a number of steps before achieving a fine, high gloss, and sharp look. What makes all of this possible is the process of tempering.

Chocolate coatings

Chocolate fillings

Chocolate milk is a beverage containing milk flavored with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup. Cocoa powder, sweetener, sugar, and carrageenan are mixed with the milk and then pasteurized. As cocoa powder has a higher density than milk, carrageenan is used as a thickening agent to prevent cocoa powder from settling to the bottom.

Chocolate milk

Consumers usually eat chocolate spreads along with bread, or other grain-based items, such as pancakes, biscuits, waffles, and others. Although one particular brand has dominated this market for more than 50 years, there is still a place for new, health-friendly innovations and production ideas using chocolate spread machines.

Cocoa beans

Cocoa butter is the fat product of cocoa liquor. It is an integral part of the chocolate-making process. To make cocoa butter, roast and process cocoa beans with the help of a cocoa butter production machine. After that, it undergoes continuous crushing – forming a rich liquid, known as cocoa liquor. You can finally press the liquid to extract cocoa butter.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor is a pure, thick cocoa mass containing equal amounts of cocoa solids and cocoa butter. It is made from fermented, dried, and roasted cocoa beans which are cracked to obtain the nibs. The cocoa nibs are then ground into a thick paste called cocoa mass which is melted to became the liquor.

Cocoa liquor

Known as part of the chocolate-making process, cocoa nibs come from the beans derived from the Theobroma cocoa tree. They are nothing else but cocoa beans that have been dried, fermented, and then cracked and separated from their husk.

Cocoa nibs

Cocoa minus its fats makes cocoa powder. Deriving this culinary element follows a careful process of roasting and winnowing cocoa beans before the nibs are ground, generating a liquor. The butter that results from melting fats is removed to leave the ingredient that defines recipes from brownies to a Frostbite cocktail.

Cocoa powder

Compound chocolate is a known alternative for pure chocolate. It uses vegetable fats that are semi-solid at room temperature as an alternative component. Compared to regular chocolates, they can deliver a richer cocoa flavor using practical compound chocolate production methods. It also does not have to undergo tempering due to the natural, glossy texture of vegetable fats.

Compound chocolate

Choosing a dessert is one of the great dilemmas. The decadent creations that satisfy our sweet tooth come in all tastes and consistencies. Fruit-based or dairy-based, baked or frozen, the possibilities are endless. Thankfully, dessert making equipment is less baffling. Ingredients are mixed, heated, formed, cooled, and packaged. But the process is carefully configured according to the parameters of each product.

From being grown in the field to roasting and slicing, the manufacture and processing of almonds is a multi-tiered operation. After removing their hull, also known as almond hulling, you can process almonds in various ways to achieve the requested consistency. Whether you chop the almond, finely mill them or turn them into almond milk, they require special care and equipment for nut processing.

Almonds

In Ancient Rome, hazelnut plants were valuable gifts as it was believed to bring happiness. In modern days, hazelnuts still bring happiness, mainly in the form of Nutella. While most nuts are botanically classified as fruits, hazelnuts are, along with chestnuts and acorns, true nuts. Once harvested, the nuts are dried and ready to be processed in various hazelnut processing equipment.

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.

Peanuts

Pistachio nuts offer several health benefits and are very nutritious. The most common way they are enjoyed is when they are roasted or eaten raw. Generally, pistachios are harvested when the shell splits. They are mechanically shaken and caught in a tarp. Furthermore, you can hull and dry them properly before roasting. To achieve all of this, you will need special pistachio processing equipment

Roasted nuts

Peanut, which (ironically) is a legume, is the make-or-break ingredient of your mixed nuts manufacturing process. “Deluxe” packs tend to avoid them, as their price is much more affordable than other nuts, therefore not being premium. For a regular mix, on the other hand, peanuts can be the major ingredient you’ll include.

Mixed nuts

Although the first association with almond milk might be the modern plant-based lifestyle trend, it is dated even back to the Middle Ages when it was used as an alternative to cow milk during Catholic fasting. Once harvested, almonds undergo a series of treatments in almond milk manufacturing equipment, such as bleaching, peeling, and grinding, to get the delicious final product for breakfast and desserts.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

A fresh salad with a walnut oil dressing or a peanut butter sandwich? A bag of roasted cashews or a pack of almond cookies? The common thread among these tasty treats is nut processing equipment. Not all nut ingredients are indeed nuts, botanically speaking. But the machinery that transforms shelled fruits, legumes, and drupes into fried snacks or a paste is similar. As for the food products, there is a nut recipe for every mood and occasion.

Nuts

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders.

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

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.

Heating

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
