Grinding cocoa beans is an essential part of producing high-quality cocoa powder, used in everything from chocolate to beverages. The process involves several steps to transform raw cocoa beans into fine, aromatic cocoa powder.
Cocoa Powder Processing Workflow
Cocoa Bean Preparation: First, cocoa beans are roasted to enhance their flavor. This is usually done in a continuous roasting-cooling machine.
Peeling: After roasting, the beans are cooled and then passed through a cocoa bean peeling machine to remove the outer shell.
Grinding: The peeled cocoa beans are then processed in a colloid mill, where they are ground into a smooth cocoa liquor.
Pressing: The cocoa liquor is then refined using a hydraulic press to separate cocoa butter and cocoa cake.
Oil Separation: The cocoa cake is then put through an oil extractor to remove the remaining cocoa butter, leaving behind cocoa solids (cocoa cake).
Powdering: Finally, the cocoa cake is ground into fine cocoa powder using a specialized milling machine.
