Economic effi ciency

The economical production of compounds, fi llings or spreads with an individual note is possible, even in small quantities, with our systems.All plants are operated from a control panel. Plant operation options range from manual to fully-automatic.

Quality

With the SALSA® system you achieve the best reproducibility in a defi ned semi-automatic process. The simple, menu-guided control system, which includes temperature control, allows exact adjustment of your desired quality, with end fi nenesses < 15 μm possible.

Savings

Compared to other systems, the SALSA® system stands out for its lower requi-rements for power, cooling water and space, and for its shorter proces-sing times. The SALSA® process also helps you save raw materials and/or additives.

Compound Coatings

A less expensive alternative to choco-late coatings. More than 5% of the expensive cocoa butter can be replaced by partially miscible vege-table fat (CBR) or even exchanged for an immiscible vegetable fat (CBS) with a completely diff erent composition. Through the melting characteristics of the fat used, a softer and more elastic consistency is obtained.

Fillings

An important ingredient in many sweets. Here the vegetable fats form the continuous phase in which the other ingredients are embedded. That is why the physical and chemical properties of the fat and the resulting factors are especially important to the quality of the end product.

The overall higher fat content and the use of diff erent vegetable fats change the consistency of the mass as compared to chocolate such that manufacturing and processing become easier. On the one hand, targeted tempering is no longer necessary and, on the other hand, the lower viscosity means that the costly and time-consuming dry and liquid conching process can be eliminated.

Rework

With a minimum fat content of 27%, rework of any sort, whether with nuts or wafers, caramel or coarse sugar, can be processed with the „SAMBA® System“. Finenesses < 20 μm are easily achieved, so the ground mass can be re-fed into the production process.

The systems off ered by NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH for the production of chocolate coatings, icings and fi llings have a modular design. On the one hand, this modular construction minimizes the required space and, on the other hand, it facilitates production expansion. Our line concept includes the initial

homogenization of the individual components in a mixing tank (1) with a rapidly spinning dispersion tool for product circulation, transfer of the mass to the heatable process tank (2) and the fi nal fi ne grinding in the LME agitator bead mills. Shown here is a modular system for icing.

The fi ne grinding of the mass is real-ized in multi-pass operation, i.e. LME agitator bead mills connected in series, for higher quality. Optionally, our systems can be equipped with a feed station (4) and fat-melting system (5), for example.

The PRECUTTER VN was developed for the fl exible and effi cient refi ning of confectionery raw materials such as nuts and wafers as well for the

The pre-ground paste of nuts or rework is directly transported to a process tank for further processing. For short distances between the PRECUTTER VN and tank, no addi-tional pump is needed. The inte-grated PRECUTTER VN unit allows self-cleaning of the machine in circulation with fl ushing liquid. This leads to easy product change and fl exibility during production. The combination of the pre-cutting unit and a hori-zontal agitator bead mill for fi ne-grinding allows the production of premium products like nut creams or rework pastes. Reduced and closed machinery components, equipped with optimized grinding technology, lead to low processing temperatures (40°C to 50°C) and an improved fl avor profi le of your product.

The desired end fi nenesses of choco-late coatings, icings and fi llings are usually between 18 μm and 30 μm. Agitator bead mills that guarantee high throughputs are used to achieve these fi nenesses. The maximum throughput capacity is, of course, infl uenced by the initial particle size of the sugar – in addition to the effi ciency of the separator system.

Fine Grinding of the Initial Mass

Our SAMBA® pre-grinding system saves you the extra step of pre-grinding the sugar. With the model LME hori-zontal agitator bead mill, NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH off ers the optimal wet grinding system for the required crushing processes. The mill is equipped with highly-eff ec-tive NEXWING grinding disks and an extremely effi cient separation system.

This combination enables very high throughputs without compression of the grinding media in the outlet area. The grinding chamber is available in chilled cast iron or wear-resistant steel. Steel grinding beads with a diam-eter of 4 mm, 5 mm or 6.35 mm are normally employed, depending on the feed fi neness of the sugar.

Mode of Operation

Single-Pass Operation

Is the simplest mode of operation for initial masses with fi ne sugar. The mass is pumped from the temporary storage tank, once through the agitator bead mill and into another tank.The end quality following the single-stage grinding is dependent on the throughput of the agitator bead mill.

Circulation Mode

The initial mass is pumped from the temporary storage tank through the agitator bead mill and back into the temporary storage tank. This process results in continuous quality enhance-ment. This mode of operation is used for initial masses with coarse or pre-ground sugar.

Multi-Pass Operation

Alternatively, for improved quality, the initial masses with sugar fi nenesses ranging from fi ne (100 μm) to coarse (1 mm) can also be ground with two agitator bead mills connected in series. This means that if one mill is being serviced, it is not mandatory to stop production.
