Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cocoa powder processing, and belongs to a filtering device for separating and extracting impurities from raw cocoa powder. Background Art
[0002] Raw cocoa powder is a powder made from the remaining portion of unroasted cocoa beans after the cocoa butter is extracted. It retains most of the nutrients found in cocoa beans and is rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids, as well as minerals like magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper, and other nutrients such as B vitamins. These nutrients are essential for maintaining normal metabolism and physiological functions.
[0003] Although currently available impurity filtering devices can filter impurities from cocoa powder and thus purify the cocoa powder, magnetic impurities such as metal powder may be mixed into the cocoa powder during the grinding process. Metal powder with a particle size that is too small is not easy to filter. In addition, lightweight impurities such as light hair may float into the cocoa powder. Traditional filtering methods may cause them to float again and fall into the cocoa powder, resulting in a poor final filtering effect. Utility Model Content
