Particle Adjustment Cockpit
Continuous monitoring of particle size and throughput during chocolate refining
Consistent Product Quality
- Real-time particle size monitoring and automatic adjustments ensure uniform fineness and stable rheology, leading to consistently high-quality chocolate.
Maximized Throughput
- By continuously optimizing the refiner’s feeding rate and process parameters, the system ensures the highest possible output without compromising the targeted fineness.
Improved Efficiency
- The avoidance of overgrinding saves cocoa butter and reduces energy consumption, making the refining process more cost-effective and sustainable.
Smart sensors. Smarter processes
The Particle Adjustment Cockpit is a cutting-edge control system designed to precisely monitor and optimize particle size and throughput in the Heidenauer FRF Fine Refiner during chocolate processing. It ensures consistently high product quality, improved processing efficiency, and maximum yield.
Powered by a state-of-the-art optical monitoring system and load cell feedback, the Particle Adjustment Cockpit continuously analyzes particle size distribution and throughput in real time. The system automatically adjusts parameters such as feeding gap, differential speed, roller temperature, and energy intake to maintain optimal refining conditions – based on the specific product recipe and desired fineness
With AI-driven calibration, online visualization, and continuous fine-tuning of critical process variables, the Particle Adjustment Cockpit enables a shift from time-based to quality-based refining – for smarter, more sustainable chocolate production.
