The cocoa powder processing machine production line is a fully automatic processing line that converts cocoa beans into cocoa powder products. The main processes include pod opening, bean separation, impurity removal, roasting, peeling, grinding, and packaging.
During processing, cocoa beans are gradually transformed into cocoa nibs, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa cake, and finally fine and uniform cocoa powder.
The cocoa powder production line provided by Shuliy generally has a capacity of 100–500 kg/h. For larger capacities, such as 1000–2000 kg/h, we can also offer customized solutions.

Cocoa Powder Production Process
- 荚开裂和豆子提取： 成熟的可可荚用荚破碎机剪开，取出豆子。新鲜的可可豆含有果肉，因此必须在大型发酵箱中发酵和干燥，然后才能进行进一步加工。
- 筛选和清洗： 干燥后的可可豆经过筛选，去除石头、金属、纤维和其他杂质，确保原料纯净。
- 烘焙： 可可豆在控制的温度和时间下烘焙。此步骤去除多余的水分，增强独特的可可香气和风味。
- 去壳和碎片提取： 烘焙后的豆子被送入去壳机，去除硬壳，产生可可碎片，即可可产品的核心原料。
- 研磨成浆： 可可碎片被研磨成细腻的可可浆（也称为可可块）。在研磨过程中，释放出可可脂，使浆料具有流动的质地。
- 压榨和分离： 用液压机压榨可可浆，将其分离成可可脂和可可饼。
- 破碎和细磨： 可可饼被粉碎并研磨成粉。为了获得更高的细度，可以使用超细研磨设备。
- 筛分和包装： 可可粉用振动筛筛选，确保细度均匀，然后由自动包装机包装成成品。
