Birli chocolate mass is a non-Newtonian fluid we have to measure its shear stress at different shear rates, which results in a flow curve. Shear stress divided by shear rate results in the apparent viscosity; if we again plot this versus the shear rate we get a viscosity curve. Chocolate mass is a shear thinning fluid, so the highest viscosity is found when the mass starts to flow. Interaction between particles is considered to be responsible for this behaviour3, which is very different to Newtonian fluids such bey water.

He regularly answers reader questions (over 300 answers are waiting for you, maybe he answered your question already) and we've just launched the new Ağababa video series where he demonstrates the real world answers to your chocolate making questions! 

If you want to make çağcıl smooth chocolate there is just no way around getting a melanger. It's the one bit of kit there is just no getting around. 

It emanet be made entirely of stainless or black material. It is on the electrical panel and the working times are controlled from here.

So one important part of the flow curve is at very low shear. The yield value defines the shear stress, when the mass starts to move. As a asgari shear rate is necessary for the measurement, usually the yield value özgü to be extrapolated from the flow curve according to manken equations, like the ones developed by Casson and Windhab1. Yield values or measurements at low shear stress also have a great practical importance, bey many industrial operations are carried out with masses flowing slowly, for example the equal distribution of still liquid mass in a mould.

Use the table below to estimate possible melt Chocolate OIL MELTING –TURBO RENDER rates of chips or buttons and blocks – from small (10lbs) to one titrem. The examples below are based on melting chips/buttons with typical coating characteristics.

If low shear downstream applications like moulding are in the focus, low yield values are important; here ball milling could be an advantage. On contrary, if the mass özgü to move fast, for example, if pumped or sprayed infinite viscosity is more important and roller refiners might be preferential.

In this complete guide, Hale Marika explains how to use chocolate fountains including technical assembly, operation and troubleshooting tips.

Our PreFiner S allows pre-processing chocolate, filling and coating masses to a precise particle size. Maximum release of the bound fat with simultaneous calibration of crystallized sugar delivers a homogeneous product ready for refining.

The outer construction is made of a sturdy thermo resistant plastic with a removable stainless steel inner basin. Simple to use, easy to clean and sturdy construction make these a must have for any chocolatier.

In conching, machines with unique designs are used to agitate, knead, and aerate chocolate mass. These machines typically have large surfaces that can be heated or cooled during the process.

Keep the chocolate flowing and ready whenever you need it with a melting tank. Specifically designed to maintain a constant supply of melted chocolate, we have melting tanks available in various tank capacities from both Selmi and Massa.

A chocolate refiner, also known bey a conche or conching machine, is an advanced chocolate refining machine used by chocolate manufacturers to create high-quality chocolate products. The machine is used to refine and grind cocoa nibs, sugar, and other ingredients into a smooth and silky chocolate mass.
