Process Flow of cocoa butter deodorization

Cocoa butter deodorizer machine involves four steps: degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization to achieve consistent quality.

Degumming → Deacidification → Decolorization → Deodorization

Main parts of cocoa butter deodorizer machine 

1.Refining Tank: Used for acid refining, alkali refining, and washing, laying the foundation for subsequent processes.

2.Decolorization Tank: Used for vacuum dehydration, mixing decolorizing agents, and removing pigments, resulting in a purer cocoa butter color.

3.Filter: Filters and separates bleaching clay and oil.

4.Deodorization Tank: Used for negative pressure distillation to remove off-odors from the oil, yielding high-quality cocoa butter.

5.Air Compressor: Drys the bleaching clay and provides power to the entire system.

6.Steam Generator: Generates the steam required for distillation, providing the heat source for the entire system.

Functions of cocoa butter deodorizer machine
Deodorized cocoa butter is a transparent liquid with an FFA level of ≤1.75%. Cocoa butter deodorizer machine can be used not only in the production of high-end chocolates but also in cosmetics, beauty, and pharmaceutical industries.
