Frequently Asked Questions

The recirculation system continually cycles the chocolate through the balls in the mill, which ensures uniform particle size reduction and improves the texture by repeatedly exposing the chocolate to the refining elements.

Yes, safety protocols include ensuring all safety guards are in place during operation, and operators should be trained on emergency stop procedures and proper handling techniques.

 Regular maintenance is recommended every 6 months, but it may vary based on usage. Periodic checks and lubrication of moving parts will ensure longevity and optimal performance.

  1. A: Yes, our ball mill refiners are versatile and can be adjusted to refine other viscous materials like nut pastes, ensuring smooth and consistent results.

  2.  

The ideal temperature can vary based on the type of chocolate being refined. Dark chocolate typically requires a slightly higher temperature than milk or white chocolate to achieve optimal texture.

The Ball Mill Refiner is constructed from high-quality stainless steel AISI 304, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and compliance with food safety standards. This material choice guarantees a long service life and easy maintenance.
