The grinding process largely influences particle size distribution and the resulting flow properties. Roller refiners – if operated at optimal settings – tend to produce wider, bi- or multimodal distributions, higher package densities and lower viscosities at high shear rates.

Larger than normal drums on the drive and turn-around stations allowing for much thicker than typical steel belt

Oh, and someone asked about the glass. I have taped up the outside to increase friction and contain breakage should it happen.

Tried and tested at over 3500 finers worldwide, the Finer S is capable of processing a vast range of masses with different compositions and consistencies to your desired fineness.

If low shear downstream applications like moulding are in the focus, low yield values are important; here ball milling could be an advantage. On contrary, if the mass başmaklık to move fast, for example, if pumped or sprayed infinite viscosity is more important and roller refiners might be preferential.

It takes approximately 40 minutes to heat up. The product güç be used as soon birli the volume of melted product is above the pump suction outlet, and there is enough to fill the processing system.

Typical cleaning time. (this incudes both a hot water wash down with detergent and hand cleaning bey required, followed by the time for the machine to dry ready for the next product)

The feed mass must have a certain consistency, which is determined by the initial fat content, particle properties and upstream process parameters. Here the particles are ground to their bitiş size, usually below 30µm in order to avoid a sandy texture in the mouth in the bitiş product. A difficulty is to combine the continuous refiners with downstream batch conches. Productivity of both machines strongly decreases if only one refiner is connected to one conch. Therefore usually a number of refiners are connected to a number of Chocolate Melting Tank conches, which leads to relatively large production lines of several tons per hour. This is also one of the reasons why smaller companies hardly use this technology.

Priming time. (this is the time from when product is loaded into the melter to the point where the product level in the tank is above the outlet port)

This takım of rolling pins is a Food52 Community favorite for a reason: Designed by two bakers who were searching for a more functional rolling pin, these wood pins come in different sizes customized to what kind of dough you’re rolling out.
