Description

Our earlier model ECGC-12 Chocoate Melanger was modified to a compact and lightweight model and is now sold under the name ECGC-12SL in 2011. It is available in 110V and 220V versions.

ECGC-12SL CocoaT Melanger is a granite stone on granite stone grinder to grind cocoa bean nibs to chocolate liquor. These chocolate Melangers are ideal tools for chocolatiers who want to become chocolatemakers – make chocolate from bean to bar or cocoa beans to chocolate liquor. CocoaT melanger has enhanced ventilation system and helps to grind 8 – 10 lbs of cocoa nibs for 24 hours or more to chocolate liquor.

Melangers have two #3 black granite stone rollers that rotate at 135 -140 rpm on a granite slab. This creates tremendous shear and reduces the particles of sugar and cocoa to the smoothness expected in modern chocolate, about 15 micron range.

The roller stones and wiper are attached to the stainless steel shaft, and the whole roller stone assembly is removable as one piece. They are easy to clean, handle and store. The roller stone assembly is locked into the lid for reproducible tension. The conical roller stones serve dual function – conching in addition to grinding.

Deluxe Melanger is ideal for small chocolate businesses or for R&D to develop recipes for big businesses. In addition to grinding cocoa nibs, deluxe melanger can also be used to grind nut butters, tahini, and more. It grinds up to 8 lbs of cocoa nibs in a single batch.
