Chocolate Manufacturing Process – 6 Stages

Chocolate Manufacturing Process – 6 Stages

The chocolate manufacturing process typically involves several steps, which may vary slightly depending on the specific type of chocolate being produced. Here is a general overview of the process: Feeding → mixing → fine grinding → refining (spices, phospholipids) → sieving → heat preservation → temperature adjustment → casting molding → vibration → cooling and hardening → demoulding → selection → packaging The above is usually a complex chocolate manufacturing process designed into the factory. The process can usually be summarized into 6 stages: raw material pretreatment, mixing, grinding, conching, tempering and molding. 1. Pretreatment of Raw Materials (1) Cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa butter substitutes are solid at room temperature. They need to be melted before being mixed and finely ground. (2) The crystalline particles of granulated sugar are of different sizes. The granulated sugar should be pulverized to a certain fineness, which is beneficial to the mixing, grinding and refining of the materials, and it can also make the fineness of the...
