The basic concept of an automatic cocoa grinder is to crush and process cocoa beans into cocoa mass or cocoa liquor, which consists of cocoa solids and cocoa butter, using high-quality stainless steel materials, corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly, safe, and hygienic. There are different types of grinders, such as disc, burr, and mortar, but the main ones are Talking1, roller, and vape.
Furthermore, colloid grinding machines are also available in manual and automatic modes. The manual machine requires the operator to move the handle continuously to grind the cocoa, while the automatic one processes the cocoa by itself without the need for manual grinding.
Cocoa butter grinders come with different specifications based on the manufacturers and desired usage. Most grinders have automatic systems with buttons for easy functioning, and the capacity ranges anywhere from 0.5kg to 100kg per hour or even more for industrial machines. The machines run on 220V electricity, but some may depend on other voltages or work on battery power. The grinding parts can be made from hardened steel, titanium, or other materials, while the housing is made from stainless steel for cleanliness and durability. Some grinders are equipped with filters to get rid of impurity, while others can be coupled with melters.
Maintaining an automatic cocoa butter grinding machine is fairly simple. Regular cleaning is a must after every use to make sure that there aren't any remaining cocoa particles that can cause mold buildup over time. Sanitizing the grinder parts with food-grade sanitizer will help too. With time, the grinder blades may start to wear down and thus require replacement. This isn't a complicated task, but it's best to consult the manufacturer's manual so the machine's performance isn't affected. Certain grinders may require lubrication of their parts to ensure smooth and efficient operations. Any signs of electrical issues should be looked into by a certified professional who is knowledgeable about grinder machines. Proper maintenance and occasional professional repair services can ensure the automatic cocoa grinder's longevity.
The main users of the automatic cocoa grinder and its use scenarios are food processing companies and their applications.
Cocoa powder production
Large-scale food processing factories use the automatic cocoa grinder to process large amounts of cocoa beans for cocoa butter, cocoa mass, and cocoa powder. The machines have high capacities and are designed for industrial use. Factory workers load roasted cocoa beans into the grinder's feeding system. The grinder crushes and grinds the beans into a liquid called chocolate liquor. The grinder then separates the liquor into cocoa butter and cocoa powder using hydraulic presses. Food processing companies use the final products to make and sell chocolate.
Cottonseed oil extraction
Cocoa grinders are also used in the oil extraction industry to extract cocoa butter from cocoa beans. Some cocoa grinders have additional equipment that can further process the cocoa powder into cocoa butter. First, the workers feed the cocoa powder and some chemicals into an oil extraction machine. The chemicals extract the oil. The cocoa grinder can also be used to extract cocoa powder and residual cocoa powder, which is further processed to obtain cocoa butter through chemical extraction methods.
Product development
When researching and developing new food products, cocoa grinders are often used to process small batches of cocoa paste. The cocoa paste is then used to test and develop new food products like gourmet chocolates, cookies, cakes, and flavored breads.
Quality control
Cocoa powder production companies use smaller cocoa grinders to test the processing parameters and production techniques. These machines are ideal for small-scale processing and adjustments during the production process. Processing companies also use the automatic cocoa grinder to control the quality of cocoa beans from different regions before purchasing. The grinders help assess the flavor and nutritional differences of beans from various origins.
Contract processing
Some cocoa processing companies offer processing services to third parties. Customers can send their cocoa beans to the company for processing into cocoa paste or powder using the automatic cocoa grinder. These companies provide complete processing services, including grinding, separating, and blending, to produce the customer's desired cocoa product.
When purchasing an automatic cocoa grinder machine, there are a few essential things to consider to meet specific needs and applications.
Cocoa content:
Daemon's cocoa powder grinder is producing fine cocoa powder even if it is dealing with up to 30% of cocoa butter. It can handle such high-fat content, which is very important for making chocolate.
Volume:
People need to consider how much cocoa they plan to grind and what kind of grinder will work best for that amount. Is it a small machine for grinding just a little bit of cocoa, or is it a big one that can grind a whole lot of it? This is important because the size of the machine should match how much cocoa is being processed. For example, a compact 30-strong chocolate grinder may be better for a small business or home use, while a large industrial grinder like an 800 can work faster and handle more volume for bigger production needs.
Ease of cleaning and dishwasher compatibility:
Not all cocoa grinders are easy to clean. Some may only allow cleaning with a cloth or brush, while others have parts that can be washed in a dishwasher. It is important to think about how easy it will be to clean the grinder and whether any of its parts are dishwasher-safe.
Noise level:
Considering the noise level of the cocoa grinder is crucial because excessive noise could adversely affect people and workers. A grinder that produces less noise is desirable, especially in operating environments where many people are present.
Q1 What are the trends in the cocoa grinder machine market?
A1 The automatic cocoa grinder machine market is growing due to growing demand for cocoa products. Cocoa bean grinding machines create cocoa powder and chocolate paste more efficiently and faster. Consequently, they meet the increasing demand for chocolate in the global market. The chocolate industry has also fueled a rise in demand for machines capable of producing cocoa butter, which has become a vital ingredient in chocolate production. Innovations such as cocoa refining machines that can create cocoa mass and cocoa powder have gained popularity as they offer more than just grinding capabilities.
Q2 What is the capacity of an automatic cocoa powder grinding machine?
A2 The capacity of an automatic cocoa powder grinding machine varies depending on the model. However, they typically process between 100kg to 500kg of cocoa beans per hour. Larger industrial models can grind up to a ton of cocoa beans in an hour.
Q3 Does an automatic cocoa powder grinder machine come with a warranty?
A3 Most manufacturers offer a warranty on their automatic cocoa grinders. The warranty period can be anything from one year to five years. Other factors, such as whether or not the machine has been serviced, may also apply.
Q4 Are automatic cocoa grinders safe to use?
A4 Yes, these grinders are safe to use. They come with safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop buttons, and anti-slip devices to prevent accidents and ensure operator safety. It is essential to follow manufacturer's instructions and guidelines when using the machine to ensure safety.
