The quality of your product and its essential ingredients are paramount in the food manufacturing industry. When it comes to chocolate, nothing is more fundamental than cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Investing in a hygienic and reliable cocoa powder production line is a crucial decision for manufacturers. Contact us today! WhatsApp/Phone: +86 13838385752.
A cocoa powder production line is an integrated system that transforms raw cocoa beans into cocoa paste. The process involves several sequential steps, each handled by specialized machinery to ensure high standards of hygiene and yield. Our lines are designed for a capacity of 500 kilograms of beans per hour and typically include roasting, cooling, aspiration, grinding, storage, and pressing.
Cocoa Powder Production Line Equipment
Cocoa Bean Drum Roaster
This equipment is used for baking or drying materials. Its working principle is heat conduction and heat radiation.
The main materials are as follows: inner mesh plate, upper and lower hoppers, and outer shell are made of stainless steel. Transmission parts and main frame are made of carbon steel.
This machine consists of a peeling roller, a vibrating screen, a fan, and a specific gravity separator. It features a rational overall layout and reliable operation. Its operation process is simple and its performance is stable.
Material: Food-contact parts and frame: 201 stainless steel, transmission parts: carbon steel.

Cocoa Powder Production Line Characteristics
Automation: From dosing to pumping, the production line reduces manual intervention and improves efficiency.
Hygienic Design: All food-contact surfaces are constructed of stainless steel (grades 201 or 304). This meets food safety standards and is easy to clean and maintain.
Energy-saving Options: Electric or gas heating options are available. The manufacturer can select the most appropriate solution based on local energy costs.
Modular Design: The production line consists of independent machines that can be configured to suit available space. It is easily expandable or upgradeable.
Control: Utilizes a variable-speed motor and temperature control system. Operators can adjust process parameters to suit different bean characteristics.
Advantages of Cocoa Butter Production Line
High Capacity: The 500 kg/h capacity design meets the needs of small, medium, and large producers.
Product Quality: Uniform roasting, efficient dehulling, and precise grinding produce high-quality cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
Reliability: Industrial-grade components such as a geared motor and a sturdy carbon steel frame ensure long-lasting operation.
Operation: Trained operators can easily manage the entire process.
Roasting: Raw cocoa beans are roasted at a controlled temperature in a drum roaster.
Cooling and Conveying: The beans are cooled on a conveyor belt and then transported by elevator to a dehulling machine.
Dehulling and Sorting: The dehulling machine crushes the beans and separates the shells, resulting in cocoa nibs. This is usually followed by sorting to ensure purity.
Feeding and Grinding: Cocoa nibs are fed steadily through a metered hopper into a coarse grinder and then into a fine grinder, creating cocoa paste.
Storage and Pumping: Cocoa liquor is pumped into insulated storage tanks.
Pressing: The cocoa liquor is pumped into a press. Pressure is applied to separate the cocoa butter.
Final Processing: The cocoa paste is collected and stored, ready for use in chocolate production or other applications.
