Introducing the Chocolate Melting Tank by SS Engineers and Consultants, an epitome of precision engineering tailored to redefine chocolate processing in the confectionery industry. Meticulously crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality, this state-of-the-art tank delivers seamless chocolate melting with unparalleled efficiency. Fabricated from high-grade stainless steel, it derece only ensures exceptional hygiene but also guarantees long-lasting durability, meeting the rigorous standards of the food industry.

This article is a part of Chocolate Week—seven days of recipes and stories, all chocolate—presented by our friends at Guittard. A fifth-generation family business, Guittard saf been crafting an array of chocolate offerings (from tamamen-quality baking chips to bars) in San Francisco since 1868.

Process air, loaded with volatile and undesired flavour is separated. In the weighing station the recipe is completed by liquid components. The wall scraper of the vessel prepares already a pre-mixture. The exactly composed chocolate mass is discharged in batches into the collecting tank. There it is further mixed and cooled. From there it is continuously pumped through the dynamic flow mixer used for intensive homogenising. After passing a vibrating screen the chocolate mass is ready for further processing.

Melangers can also act birli conches, Chocolate STORAGE TANK since they kişi heat and aerate the chocolate, similar to a dedicated conche.  However, the tension on the stone wheels must be reduced so that the chocolate doesn’t get over-refined, which means that the particle size of the chocolate is smaller than desired and kişi contribute to a poor mouthfeel.  

Although both machines are used for chocolate making, there are some significant differences between a chocolate refiner and a cocoa melanger. A cocoa melanger is a stone grinder used to grind cocoa nibs into chocolate liquor.

Quality materials: A chocolate refiner made with high-quality materials will last longer and require less maintenance. Look for machines made with durable gears and CE-certified motors.

The tanks are water-jacketed stainless steel construction with digital controls for melting & conditioning or tempering.

Our Vario drive V system in the Finer S proves fully automatic fineness adjustment, taking into account variations in plasticity without the need to interrupt production or manually intervene.

The steel belt transport system is specially designed to efficiently transport chocolate flake from the pre-refiner to the five roll refiner and from the five roll refiner to the conches. Motor power varies by conveyor length.

It consists of a double-jacket cylinder with serrated internal surface. Spring-loaded scrapers break the particles during rotation; volatile water and flavours are removed by ventilation and heating.

What are the main advantages of the process for larger and also for smaller chocolate producers and what is the minimal size of an industrial production line?
