cocoa processing plant

The cocoa powder mill CPM offers the very best conditions for achieving optimal disagglomeration of kibbled cake into cocoa powder. A classifying mill ensures that all the ground particles produced are within the needed particle size range. An air stream controls the feed and handling with the product, finally conveying it to a separator exactly where the air and also the cocoa powder are separated.

Size grading for optimal particle size distribution.

Each the speed of the classifying wheel and the recycled air stream may be separately controlled. The mixture of each factors allows the particle size to be accurately maintained. The result: finished cocoa powder with the required particle size distribution.

High operating reliability thanks to nitrogen generator.

The characteristic function of the air-recycling system of the cocoa powder mill CPM is the protected atmosphere in which it develops its action: A nitrogen generator permanently maintains the oxygen content with the circulating air below 8 percent. This rules out any risk of a fire or even explosion.

Low wear through low grinding speed.

The low speed throughout the grinding procedure reduces wear of the grinding media and classifying wheel. The expenses incurred for spare parts therefore remain at a low level.

Easy access for easy upkeep and cleaning.

The swing-out lid style with the cocoa powder mill CPM allows simple access towards the classifying wheel and the grinding media. This ensures fast and simple and therefore low-cost cleaning and upkeep.

Cocoa Processing Plants

Pre-Grinding:
The Nibrotom 3000 has been designed particularly for the pre-grinding of cocoa nibs, nuts, almonds along with other seeds with high fat content. This machine combines superior results and an optimal particle size distribution having a relatively low wet sieve residue. This in turn ensures the best possible efficiency of all down stream refining equipment, notably ball mill.

Features for cocoa processing plant

automatically fed by screw conveyer
beater blade design with 4 specially hardened steel knives
slotted gap sieve

Intermediate and Fine grinding

Each intermediate and fine grinding are accomplished utilizing various versions of the W-85 ball mill. The intermediate Stage primarily determines the capacity with the fine grinding stage. The much better the grinding in this stage the higher the capacity in the fine grinding stage. Within the fine grinding stage, the cocoa liquor is refined down towards the required end fineness.
