Roasted Cacao Bean Grinder - Selmi Winnower

The Selmi Winnower roasted cacao bean grinder is a specialized machine in the chocolate and artisan cacao processing industry. It's designed to efficiently separate the shell and nib of cacao beans after roasting. This is a crucial step in obtaining clean cacao nibs (the inner part) for subsequent grinding into liquor (pure cacao solution).

Detailed Description:

• Structure:

  • The machine has a grinding system that breaks the roasted cacao beans into small pieces.

  • A suction fan and screening system separate the cacao nibs from the lighter shells.

  • The stainless steel frame is sturdy, easy to clean, and meets food safety standards.

  • Adjustable airflow and grinding intensity optimize shell-nib separation according to roast level and bean size.

• Operating Principle:

  • Roasted cacao beans are poured into the hopper.

  • The grinder gently breaks the beans into small pieces.

  • A strong airflow from the fan separates the lighter shells from the heavier cacao nibs.

  • The cacao shells are sucked away and collected in a separate container, while the cacao nibs fall into a receiving tray or conveyor belt.

• Basic Specifications (may vary depending on the Selmi model):

  • Capacity: approximately 50–60 kg/h.

  • Power consumption: ~1.1–1.5 kW.

  • Size: compact, suitable for medium and small-scale chocolate factories.

  • Weight: approximately 100–120 kg.

• Advantages:

  • Extremely clean shell separation, minimizing nib loss.

  • Flexible adjustment according to roast level and bean size.

  • User-friendly design and easy maintenance.

  • Quiet operation, minimizing dust thanks to the enclosed suction system.
