Frequently Asked Questions

The Two Roll Refiners excel in refining chocolate to a particle size of 20-25 microns. Scientific consensus and sensory analysis have established that the human palate cannot discern individual particles below approximately 30 microns. By achieving a refinement well below this threshold, our refiners ensure the chocolate’s texture is so smooth that it surpasses the detection capability of the palate, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of the chocolate. This ultra-fine particle size not only contributes to a superior, silky mouthfeel but also facilitates a more immediate and complete release of flavors, markedly improving the overall tasting experience.

The precision roller adjustment feature allows you to precisely control the gap between the two rollers, enabling the fine-tuning of particle size reduction. This is crucial for achieving the desired texture and smoothness in your chocolate paste, directly impacting the quality and mouthfeel of your final chocolate products.

The series includes three models with varying capacities: ROLL 15 handles up to 15 kg/batch, ROLL 30 up to 30 kg/batch, and ROLL 75 up to 75 kg/batch. The choice of model depends on your production volume. ROLL 15 is ideal for boutique producers or those requiring small-batch refinement, ROLL 30 suits growing operations, and ROLL 75 is designed for large-scale chocolate production.

Yes, these refiners are versatile and can handle various types of chocolate—from dark to milk and white—as well as other chocolate ingredients. Adjustments can be made to accommodate the specific requirements of each type, ensuring optimal refinement across a broad range of products.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the rollers, checking the motor and gearbox for any signs of wear, and ensuring the recirculation system is functioning properly. These steps are vital for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the machine. Detailed maintenance guidelines are provided with each model to assist operators.

The recirculation system keeps the chocolate moving through the rollers, ensuring consistent particle size reduction and uniform texture. This constant movement prevents the chocolate from solidifying and allows for even distribution of cocoa butter within the paste, contributing to the smoothness of the final product.

Absolutely. Their compact design, adjustable settings, and transportable nature, thanks to equipped casters, make them easily integrable into existing setups, enhancing your production line without significant modifications.

Safety is a priority. Each refiner is equipped with safety guards around moving parts, emergency stop buttons, and indicator lights for operational status. These features ensure a safe working environment by minimizing the risk of accidents during operation.

The main motor’s power and the chocolate pump’s capabilities increase with the model size to accommodate larger batches. For instance, the ROLL 15 uses a 2 HP main motor and a 1 HP chocolate pump, suitable for its 15 kg/batch capacity. Conversely, the ROLL 75 employs a 5 HP main motor and a 1 HP chocolate pump, designed to efficiently manage its 75 kg/batch capacity, ensuring consistent texture and flow during the refinement process.
