Quality Yield Cockpit
Inline measurement of shell-to-nib ratio during cocoa bean winnowing
Increased Yield
- Achieve up to 1% more yield through continuous, real-time optimization of winnower performance.
Improved Quality Control and Food Safety
- Automated optical monitoring and adjustment ensures consistent separation of shell and nibs within legal food safety standards.
Simplified Operation and Maintenance
- AI-driven parameter settings ensure easy operation and support preventive maintenance with analytical winnowing reports and real-time online monitoring.
Smart sensors. Smarter processes
The Quality Yield Cockpit is an advanced control system that ensures precise management of the shell-to-nib ratio during cocoa bean winnowing using the Bauermeister CBW Continuous Breaker Winnower, either before or after roasting.
It is equipped with a state-of-the-art optical monitoring system that continuously analyzes the separation of shells and nibs within the CBW. If the measured ratio deviates from set thresholds, the system automatically adjusts the aspiration and breaker speeds in real time. This results in consistently high-quality output, reduced wear on downstream equipment, and improved yield.
