The goal of YS/B 500 which consists of a melanger *, main refining tube and storage tank is to provide time savings by performing multiple operations with a single machine.

Making your own chocolate? have questions about any step of the process? Why derece 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 Cet videoteyp series where he demonstrates the real world answers to your chocolate making questions! 

Chocolatiering is dedicated to helping you learn how to make chocolate at home. We cover everything you need to know to make homemade chocolate, with articles on chocolate-making and chocolatier techniques, chocolate machines, tools and ingredients. About Us

Conching is a process that can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the desired flavor development and texture of the chocolate.

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. 

For normal operation, you’ll only need one worker to load product onto the grid and/or adjust the machine settings. We recommend having two workers available during changeover of the melt grid and removal of the stirrer.

I purchased two rock tumblers a couple of months ago. Within a day the larger one had stopped working so I was left to experiment with the smaller one. Well, it did the job somewhat, but not fully.

Water inside a twin-shell coat ensures heating and keeping temperature of chocolate mass constant. Chocolate melting tank is used to melt solid CHOCOLATE PREPARATION KITCHEN EQUIPMENT chocolate and store the liquid chocolate in constant temperature and homogenous structure.

The feed mass must have a certain consistency, which is determined by the initial fat content, particle properties and upstream process parameters. Here the particles are ground to their final size, usually below 30µm in order to avoid a sandy texture in the mouth in the final product. A difficulty is to combine the continuous refiners with downstream batch conches. Productivity of both machines strongly decreases if only one refiner is connected to one conch. Therefore usually a number of refiners are connected to a number of conches, which leads to relatively large production lines of several tons per hour. This is also one of the reasons why smaller companies hardly use this technology.

Recently, Bühler seems to have followed a similar strategy. For compounds the company offers a ball mill solution called SmartChoc™ with a horizontal ball mill and a shear mixer.

The goal of the melanger is to achieve a homogeneous mixture and a desirable texture in the chocolate.

The key to a good bake is making sure your measurements are precise. Use a baking scale to ensure you’re putting just
