What Mechanical Equipment Is Used In Chocolate Production Line - China

What mechanical equipment is used in chocolate production In the chocolate production process, equipment needs to operate continuously and come into direct contact with food raw materials.

Precise lubrication is the core to ensuring food safety and the service life of the equipment.

The following are the key mechanical equipment and their lubrication requirements, strictly adhering to the NSF H1 food-grade lubricant standard: I.

Main equipment and lubrication parts for chocolate production Raw material pretreatment equipment Equipment types: cocoa bean washing machine, baking machine, crusher (pyrolysis machine), air separator Lubricated parts Bearings (conveyor belt rollers, crushing roller shafts) Gearbox (crusher transmission device Chain (material conveying chain Risk point: High baking temperature (120-150℃) causes the grease to evaporate, and a high-temperature resistant formula is required.

2 - Grinding and refining equipment Equipment types: Five-roll fine mill (mixing cocoa butter with solids), ball mill/refiner (refining particles to less than 20μm) Lubricated parts Roller bearing (withstanding high pressure and high temperature, key lubrication point!) Reduction gearbox (grinding power system) Hydraulic system (roller distance adjustment device) Special requirements: The refining temperature should reach 50-80℃.

The grease must be heat-resistant and water-resistant (to avoid being washed by condensate water).

3 - Temperature control Machine Function: Precisely control the crystalline form of cocoa butter (ensuring luster and crispness) Lubricated parts Stirring paddle bearing (continuous shearing of chocolate paste) Cooling plate sliding guide rail (temperature regulating mechanism) Pump seal (for conveying molten chocolate) Risk point: Temperature fluctuations (26-34℃) can easily cause grease separation, and a thermal stability formula is required.

4 - Forming and filling equipment Equipment types: Mold pouring machine, continuous pouring line, sandwich filling machine Lubricated parts Mold conveyor chain (directly suspended above the product, with anti-dripping grease required) Piston seal (quantitative control of filling head) Pneumatic valve (Chocolate paste flow control) Highest risk area: Lubricant dripping directly contaminates the product! 5 - Cooling tunnel Equipment type: Multi-layer cooled conveyor belt (temperature 0-10℃) Lubricated parts Bearings (cooling fans, conveyor belt rollers) Chain (product conveying chain, lubricating grease is prone to hardening at low temperatures) Key requirement: The grease must be resistant to low temperatures (remaining flexible at -20℃).
