The Ball Mill Chocolate Refiner is designed for grinding the chocolate mixture prepared in the pre-mixing unit and processing it to the desired fineness. Sugar, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, milk powder, and other ingredients specified in the recipe are ground between the steel balls in the refiner chamber to obtain a homogeneous chocolate mass.
During the grinding process, the product is continuously circulated within the refiner with the help of a transfer pump. The particle size of sugar and cocoa particles is gradually reduced through mechanical grinding between the steel balls. The AYD-CBM-600 model is designed to refine down to a particle size of 20-25 microns. The resulting fine and homogeneous structure helps achieve the desired consistency in subsequent chocolate production stages.
The heating system in the refiner body maintains the product at the appropriate temperature during operation. This preserves the chocolate's fluidity while allowing the grinding process to continue in a more controlled manner. After processing is complete, the product can be sent to the storage tank, tempering machine, or other equipment on the production line via the transfer pump.
All parts in contact with the product are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. Manufactured using food-grade materials, the machine features a hygienic design for easy cleaning and is suitable for long-term industrial use.
The AYD-CBM-600 is used in the production of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, compound chocolate, cream fillings, and similar cocoa-based products. Thanks to its compact design, it can be easily integrated into new production lines or existing facilities.
