Chocokneader for CocoaT Melangers

Cocoatown Chocokneader for CocoaT Melangers is a stone‑on‑stone chocolate melanger designed to refine cocoa nibs and sugar to a smooth liquor while gently conching off‑flavors over long, continuous runs. It’s suitable for extended operation to achieve target particle size and flavor development.

Best for

• Bean‑to‑bar production and pilot batches
• Training, R&D, and process validation
• Small facilities where footprint and reliability matter

What to know

• Plan for multi‑hour or multi‑day runs to reach ~15–20 µm particle size.
• Manage heat during long cycles; ventilation and ambient conditions affect viscosity.
• Stone tension and batch size influence shear and refinement rate.

Integration notes

• Confirm electrical requirements (voltage/phase) and capacity before ordering.
• Lead times vary by configuration and manufacturer.
• Match upstream/downstream steps for a balanced line (roasting → cracking/winnowing → refining → tempering).
