Cocoa nibs
Cleaning
You need to ensure you have clean nibs free from impurities to create the best cocoa liquor. We offer a broad range of technologies to separate undesirable elements from your raw materials and to thoroughly clean your nibs, ready for roasting.
Infrared treatment
Infrared treatment
It is important that you can ensure the separation of the shells from the nibs keeping fines in the winnowing process to a minimum. Because of the short and controlled residual times, no moisture is removed and the aroma remains untouched.
Crushing and winnowing
Maximizing yields
Crushing and winnowing can significantly affect your yield. Our sophisticated two-stage crushing process, with a choice of screening levels and built-in aspiration, can be adjusted to meet the precise needs of your different bean origins.
Alkalizing
Color definition
Color is an important characteristic for your cocoa powder. Our alkalizing technology provides simple adjustment of the pH value and determination of the pressure-temperature-time process profile to enable you to vary color intensity to suit any market preference.
Roasting
Defining flavors
Roasting plays a key role in defining your flavor profile. We offer a range of batch roasters, which control the roasting process precisely. With our media rack, it is possible to intensify the flavor development. Low in maintenance and a special drum execution results in higher energy efficiency.
