Cocoa liquor is a semi-finished product after cocoa beans are ground. It contains a large amount of cocoa butter and solids, and must be separated through cocoa oil presse machines to meet the demands of both cocoa powder and cocoa butter markets, maximizing the value of the raw material.

Why is it necessary to press cocoa butter?

Cocoa butter is a high-value-added product with high prices and large profit margins, widely used in high-end chocolate, baking, confectionery, and cosmetics, and is the core profit driver of the industry. The remaining cocoa cake after pressing can be made into low-fat cocoa powder, which is cost-effective and in high demand, mainly supplying the mass-market food sector such as baking, beverages, and solid drinks.

Without cocoa oil presse machines, pure cocoa butter cannot be produced, resulting in the loss of the high-end, high-profit market; at the same time, low-cost cocoa powder cannot be obtained, making it difficult to meet the needs of the mass market. Through pressing, a single cocoa raw material can supply both the high-end and mass-market sectors simultaneously, improving overall economic efficiency and matching the formulation and cost requirements of different industries. It is an indispensable and crucial link in the cocoa processing industry chain.

Introduction of cocoa oil extraction machine

The cocoa oil press machine applies high pressure to cocoa mass, enabling the separation of the mixture into pure cocoa butter and cocoa cake. By adjusting the pressing duration and process parameters, the residual fat content in the resulting cocoa cake can be controlled within a range of 10%–24%.
