CocoaT Melanger – ECGC-12SLTA

CocoaT melanger – ECGC-12SLTA is the latest version of the deluxe melanger with additional options for the chocolate makers to fine tune the grinding process.

Melanger:

A melanger is a granite stone on granite stone grinder used to grind cocoa bean nibs to chocolate liquor. This is an ideal tool for chocolatiers who want to make chocolate from bean to bar or cocoa nibs to cocoa liquor. The melanger has enhanced ventilation system and helps to grind up to 6-8 lbs of cocoa nibs to produce 8-10 lbs of chocolate liquor for 24 hours or more. We can ship these units to anywhere in the world. Contact Us for price quote.
CocoaTown produces innovative melangers.

We were the first to introduce:

1.  Small size drum and roller assembly to process test batches
2.  Variable pressure/tension
3.  Two-level integrated safety protection
4. Stone wiper to continuously wipe the roller stone surface

We have two variations of melangers now. ECGC-12SL is the deluxe melanger that we have been selling since 2011. We have added the tension adjuster mechanism to this unit (to replicate the functionality of the ECGC-65A Grindeur), for this unit and sell it as ECGC-12SLTA. One can completely release the tension from the stones for the conching cycle so the cocoa liquor is continuously exposed to air without grinding it further.

The conical stones rotate on granite bottom stone of the vessel, crushing the nibs and reducing the particles of sugar and cocoa about 15 micron range fine cocoa liquor.The roller stones and wiper are attached to the stainless steel center 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.Conical shaped roller stones provide more crushing area for better grinding efficiency.

The Tension Adjustor accessory on the lock arm helps to conch the chocolate liquor in later part of the processing using the same unit.

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 tahini from sesame seeds, nut butters from almonds, macadamia, pistachios and more.  It grinds up to 8 lbs of cocoa liquor (cocoa nibs, sugar and other ingredients together) in a single batch.
