Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate processing equipment, in particular to a chocolate fine grinder. Background Art

[0002] Refining is a critical step in chocolate processing, directly impacting the taste and quality of chocolate. The primary function of a chocolate refiner is to finely grind chocolate slurry to achieve a delicate taste and uniform texture. Existing chocolate refiners have a considerable technical accumulation in terms of structure and operating principles. For example, the new chocolate refiner disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. "CN87205574U" is a good example.

[0003] However, existing chocolate production equipment presents several challenges during the refining process. A major issue is that the machine's end cap provides passive degassing via degassing holes. This design hinders the evaporation of heat and steam generated during the mixing and refining process due to the chocolate slurry's milky state and moisture. This results in an excessively high moisture content in the chocolate slurry, which in turn affects the quality of the chocolate produced.

[0004] Based on this, in order to improve the degassing stability of the existing fine grinder, we propose a chocolate fine grinder. Utility Model Content
