Commercial Cocoa Powder Production Process

To squeeze into the cocoa cake into fine powder, namely cocoa powder. The cocoa powder produced by commercail cocoa powder production line is widely used in many foods, such as biscuits, chocolate drinks, Boudin, cream, sandwich, chocolate candy, ice cream, etc. The processing technology of cocoa powder mainly consists of several parts: roasting, peeling, grinding, cocoa oil pressing, oil cake crushing and powder grinding.

1. Cocoa Roasting

In the production of cocoa beans, the first step is to roast. The condition control of roasting has a direct effect on the quality of the subsequent production of the cocoa beans. Under accurate pressure and certain temperature conditions, cocoa beans roasting machine can be roasted, baked in the process requirements of cocoa beans reach not not coke, not born outside and cooked, and has the gloss, to color, flavor and taste of the requirements, and the kernel water content of not more than 3% physicochemical indexes.

2. Bean Peeling

Fragmentation is an important step in the process of cocoa, the main purpose of this step is the separation of cocoa and cocoa seeds, is an important step in qucuqujing. Our cocoa pea peeling machine is in the leading position in the domestic cocoa processing technology. Broken cocoa seed with 4-6mm air separation requirement is appropriate, through the five stage screening, containing shell weight was controlled in the range of 1.5%. In our company, we strive to improve the technology and strive to minimize the content of the shell.

3. Cocao Grinding

As the most fundamental part of the manufacturing process, the fineness of the pulp and the texture of the cocoa pulp are required. Before entering the material, it is necessary to master the warm water before the feeding. The cocoa paste produced by the cocoa bean grinding machine in our company requires 200 orders over 85%.

4. Cocoa Oil Squeezing

The cocoa pulp is squeezed into the cocoa cake block and the cocoa butter. In the process of pressing, the main requirement is the fat content. If the fat content is too high, the cocoa cake block can not be formed and the purity of the cocoa butter is too low. So the control of the press is also very important.
5. Powder Grinding
To squeeze into the cocoa cake into fine powder, cocoa powder can be obtained. The cocao powder grinding machine is especially suitable for crushing and drying brittle materials. The powder making machine is simple in structure, stable in operation, low in noise and good in crushing effect.
