The input products are semi-liquid fatty masses with an average particle size distribution of approximately 500μm (measured by micrometer) and containing less than 1% solid particles with a maximum size of approximately 4mm. The output product is a homogeneous mix with an average particle size distribution of 120-220μm, measured by micrometer, suitable for being fed into the successive refining line.
The pre-refining technology of the HCP series gives important production advantages: - Homogeneity in particle size distribution and fluidity of the chocolate mass - Increase in productivity of the dosing and mixing line, thanks to the reduction of the mixing time - Improved efficiency of refiners - Simplicity and reliability of the electromechanical system for gap adjustment. - HCP pre-refiners are easily integrated in the automated control system of the modern production lines.
