The Manufacturing Process:
Roasting is the important first step and plays several important roles:
  • Brings out the taste and flavor because it is the roasted cocoa beans that taste like chocolate, not the raw ones. Typical cocoa bean color and aroma develop around 130-1500C.
  • Sterilizes the bean, eliminating any bacteria, molds, and fungi that are widespread in the tropical equatorial regions – the home of cocoa beans.
  • Simplifies cracking and winnowing by disconnecting the inner bean from the outer husk. Roasting makes the outer cocoa shells brittle, making it easy to separate them. Breaking down the inner cocoa bean gives tiny cocoa nibs.
  • Reduces moisture content from around 7% to about 1%. This is important because chocolate and water do not mix. Lowering moisture simplifies grinding.
    For effective roasting, three conditions are essential viz. transfer of heat to the bean, smooth airflow in the roasting drum, and cooling.
Winnowing involves delinking the husk (outer shell) from the nib (edible part) of cocoa beans. The process directly impacts the final quality of the chocolate as better separation delivers top quality. Any residual husk will introduce unwanted tastes. Winnowing takes off 20-25% of the roasted beans’ weight.
Equipment for winnowing cracks open the outer husks, which are then segregated from the nib by multiple stages of sieves (filters). Air blowing fans complete the separation as husks are lighter than nibs.
Roasted beans are cracked open by passing them through serrated cones or screw motion. Vibration mechanisms may also be employed in addition to filters and fans for superior separation.
Grinding passes nibs through rotating metal drums to convert them into liquid called chocolate liquor. Nibs contain 50-55% cocoa butter, which is a crucial ingredient for making chocolate.
Depending on the requirements, manufacturers utilize three or even more grinding stages. The roller speed rises in every successive stage. Eventually, the size of chocolate liquor particles is crushed to 0.0254mm.
From the middle of the grinding stage, the process handles liquid chocolate and this continues till step 8 i.e. molding stage.
Separation involves the use of hydraulic press or rollers to hike the pressure on chocolate liquor. This makes most of the cocoa butter inside the chocolate liquor flow out as a yellow liquid. The residue is the press cake and is processed into cocoa powder.
During blending, manufacturers add cocoa butter to the press cake. The quantity of added cocoa butter influences the consistency and texture, and, therefore, determines the type of chocolate produced.
Conching is the most critical stage in chocolate production. Operating somewhat similar to eggbeater, the machine paddles move to and fro through the chocolate mass slowly to mix it thoroughly and aerate it. Such action further reduces the chocolate particles’ size and removes any minor, residual bitterness.
Process speed and temperature influence the quality of chocolate. Other determinants of quality are the speed at which other ingredients (sugar, milk powder or milk, cocoa butter, flavors etc.) are mixed and when they are added.
Tempering is the slow cooling of the conched chocolate. Such machines can have heating and cooling mechanisms as well as mixers to maintain the molten chocolate’s homogeneity.
Steady temperature drop in tempering imparts stability to the chocolate i.e. prevents the ingredients from separating on solidification – when poured in molds for example.  It also maintains the chocolate’s crisp texture and luster. It is the tempering stage that prevents chocolate from melting when people touch it.
Molding is the pouring of liquid chocolate into molds designed to provide the specifically shaped chocolate. Types of chocolates are pure chocolates, wafer or cookie including chocolates, raisin or dry fruit containing chocolates, or those with a core containing different materials such as jelly.
Totally automatic, semi automatic, and manual are the three types of mold machines based on the level of automation.
Stage 8 i.e. molding starts with liquid chocolate and ends with a solid one. Hereafter, all stages deal with solid chocolate.
Wrapping protects the chocolate from contamination while also lending it a catchy appearance and enabling the makers to brand their produce. After loading the wrapper material and chocolate (of the required size and shape) in the wrapper machine, the machine wraps the chocolate, cuts the wrapper, and seals it. Thereafter, the wrapped chocolates are packaged into cartons.
Types of wrapper machines are Bar Wrapper, Coin Wrapper, Foil Wrapper, and Fold Wrapper. Different ways a chocolate is wrapped are Banding, Fold Wrapping, Foil Wrapping, Pleat Wrapping, Sleeve Wrapping, Twist Wrapping, and Foil and Band Wrapping.
Chocolates can be wrapped as much as five times viz. primary, double primary, secondary, tertiary, and final wrappings.
Molding machine is an auxiliary to the wrapping machine. Equipment that serve as auxiliaries to both machines are:
  • Tempering Machine
  • Chocolate Pump
  • Nut Feeder
  • Chocolate Enrober
  • Biscuit Feeder
  • Automatic Demolder
  • Feeder Mixer
  • Auto Chocolate Depositor
  • Chocolate Analyzer
  • Granule Doser
  • Granule Mixer
  • Weighing-Filling Mechanism

Cybernetik was set up as a consultancy in 1989 by a group of engineers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras, India and the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA.

From 10 people operating in less than 100 sq.m. workspace, our footprint in India has expanded to 30,000+ sq.m. across four units, two each in Pune, Maharashtra and Nadiad, Gujarat.

Our global operations are based out of three international offices:

Vietnam (for Southeast Asia), Dubai (for Middle East and Africa) and United States (for North America).

READ IN DETAIL

Chocolate manufacturing is a colossal global industry as chocolates are among the most popular of non-food items. Therefore, it doesn’t come as a surprise that chocolate manufacturing machines are in great demand. Top quality chocolate making machines enable fine control over temperature, mixing rate, and cooling rate. In turn, this allows close control over the two properties that determine the quality of chocolates – flavor and texture. For a chocolate making machine, Cybernetik offers advanced technology to streamline your chocolate production process.

Following is the process of manufacturing chocolates:

  • Cleaning
  • Roasting releases the hidden flavours, sanitizes the bean, and reduces moisture content.  
  • Winnowing separates the edible nib from the outer shell.
  • Grinding changes the nibs into a liquid state.
  • Separation segregates the chocolate liquor from the cocoa butter.
  • Blending determines texture and consistency by adding cocoa butter to press cake.
  • Conching is critical in the process of manufacturing chocolate as if affects the texture-influencing particle size, while eliminating residual bitterness.  
  • Tempering is slow cooling that too influences the chocolate texture in relation to human touch.
  • Moulding pours liquid chocolates into the necessary shape.
  • Wrapping can secondary or primary packaging. Explore different ways of wrapping chocolates with our innovative solutions for enhanced presentation and freshness. Different ways of wrapping chocolates are fold wrapping, pleat wrapping, foil wrapping, foil and band wrapping, sleeve wrapping, twist wrapping, and the like.
