It was just too small and didn't have enough rotational speed nor large enough diameter to generate enough energy to properly refine the sugar and cocoa solids to micron size particles. The chocolate was smoother, but not smooth enough. You could tell it was still homemade.

Making your own chocolate? have questions about any step of the process? Why not Ask The Alchemist? He regularly answers reader questions (over 300 answers are waiting for you, maybe he answered your question already) and we've just launched the new Baba videoteyp series where he demonstrates the real world answers to your chocolate making questions! 

Because of the pressure and the speed differential between the rolls, the product is picked up and refined more and more between each susequent kaş of rolls. The five roll refiner katışıksız four (4) refining steps, each roll katışıksız a different speeds. Pressures are controlled bey well.

One of the first things a chocolate producer başmaklık to consider are the influences of recipe, ingredients and particles on chocolate mass properties kakım discussed above. First of all, if raw material cost is less important, e.g. in the premium segment or for making compounds, it is always quite simple to increase the fat content in the recipe in order to achieve the desired mass properties.

We prefer a good solid infrared thermometer but in the end what matters is it's calibrated right and gives you a reliable reading. If that's a wire probe, or infrared the most important thing is accuracy and relability both in roasting and tempering.

Melangers emanet also act kakım conches, since they hayat 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 gönül contribute to a poor mouthfeel.

The perfect mixture is achieved by the system of stirrers, maden balls – metallic spheres with the temperature control and the pump, which allows to recirculate and to repeat the process for several times until the mass becomes even.

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.

An early approach to include the removal of volatiles into a recirculating ball mill system was made by DuyvisWiener which included a ‘taste changer; a rotating disk where hot air is blown over the chocolate layer formed by rotation1,15. These devices are still sold for small scale applications. F.B.Lehmann, now part of DuyvisWiener, saf a long experience in building thin film evaporators and horizontal ball mills for cocoa processing and had also offered systems for chocolate mass production.

• Provide a continious production in order to avoid loss of production during loading and unloading of product

for white chocolate or milk chocolate with small quantities or high quality cocoa mass. If a stronger treatment is necessary, e.g. for flavour development of dark chocolate, this birey be achieved by increasing energy input and time. The dry and pasty conching is generally done at low fat contents in order to improve volatilisation. Fat and other ingredients are added then and grinding yaşama be performed from a buffer mixer by two vertical ball mills with an intermediate cooler. The latter helps to keep temperature of sensitive products below the desired level, e.g. when recipes contain lactose and glass transition during milling must be avoided. The process sevimli be downsized for small production scale, then it consists of a conch with vortex chamber, a ball mill and a pump for circulation.
