Built to solve. Designed to deliver.

The Petzholdt TFL Thin Film Evaporator Liquor is specifically engineered to gently treat cocoa liquor. It enhances flavor development and reduces conching time.

Cocoa liquor forms a thin layer on the heated evaporator wall, where moisture and acidic volatiles are removed under vacuum – without exceeding 100°C. This preserves key flavor compounds while reducing unwanted acidity and water content.

The result: a cleaner, more balanced liquor optimized for high-quality chocolate production.
