500-1500kg/h One Pass Chocolate Ball Mill: Efficient Refining for Premium Chocolate Production

Our advanced QMJ Series Chocolate Ball Mill is engineered for high-volume, efficient production of premium chocolate masses, compounds, spreads, nut pastes, and filling creams. Designed for both large manufacturers and specialized processors, its one-pass continuous operation sets a new standard for grinding efficiency and product quality.

Working Principle of Chocolate Ball Mill

The ball mill refines chocolate and related masses through intense impact and friction. Raw material is fed into a vertical cylinder containing high-grade bearing steel balls. As the cylinder rotates, the cascading balls collide with the material and each other, progressively grinding particles down to the target micron fineness (18-22 microns). This mechanical action achieves superior homogenization and smoothness.

Primary Uses of Chocolate Ball Mill

Pure Chocolate Mass Production

Compound Chocolate Refining

Chocolate Spread Manufacturing

Nut Pastes (e.g., Hazelnut, Peanut)

Creamy Fillings for Confectionery

Cocoa Mass Refining

Key Advantages & Features

1. One-Pass Continuous Efficiency:

Eliminates the need for material recirculation between refining stages (unlike traditional conches or circulated ball mills), significantly boosting throughput (500-1500 kg/h) and slashing energy and labor costs.

2. Precision Temperature Control:

Features a hollow main shaft with integrated cooling water circulation. This critical system maintains optimal grinding temperatures, preventing fat bloom and preserving flavor integrity for superior chocolate quality.

3. Versatile Production:

Capable of handling diverse products – chocolate masses, cocoa masses, creams, and nut pastes – making it ideal for chocolate makers, cocoa processors, and bakery ingredient suppliers.

4. Scalable Capacity:

Models available from 500 kg/h to 1500 kg/h, catering to varying production scales, from growing businesses to large industrial facilities.

5. Optimized Design:

Includes level sensors on the buffer tank for uninterrupted continuous operation and specialized rods on the shaft design to prevent material leakage.

6. High-Intensity Grinding:

Utilizes durable bearing steel balls engineered for maximum grinding impact and longevity.

7. Superior Fineness:

Consistently achieves a fine particle size of 18-22 microns, essential for smooth mouthfeel.

Target Markets:

Industrial Chocolate Manufacturers

Cocoa Processing Plants

Large-Scale Confectionery Producers

Bakery Ingredient Suppliers

Nut Paste & Spread Manufacturers

Specifications (QMJ Series Chocolate Ball Mill):

Here's the formatted table for the QMJ Series Chocolate Ball Mill specifications:

Support & Operational Notes:

Pre-Refining: The continuous one-pass ball mill requires a pre-refiner to achieve an initial fineness of 50-70 microns before feeding.

Cooling System: Requires an external cooling water system (available from us or locally sourced).

Fat Content: Raw materials must contain at least 30% fat for optimal refining.

Functionality vs. Conche: While a conche refiner combines mixing, refining, and conching, the ball mill focuses solely on high-efficiency grinding. For pure chocolate production, it typically pairs with a conching machine downstream.

Reliability: We maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory for rapid global shipment (typically 3-7 days delivery).

Delivery: Standard delivery time is 60-90 days after receipt of advance payment and confirmed technical parameters.
