Refining
After coarse grinding, the cacao liquor must undergo fine grinding to achieve the ideal smoothness, giving the chocolate a silky texture with a particle size of 20–25 microns.
SELMI MICRON 25 Ball Refiner – Professional Fine Grinding Solution for Chocolate and Nut Butters
The Selmi ball refiner is a premium machine specifically engineered for the fine grinding of chocolate, as well as for producing smooth-textured products such as spreadable creams, praline fillings, and water-free mixtures used in premium ice cream and confectionery.
Precision Grinding – Preserving Natural Flavor
Equipped with an automatic cooling system, the machine efficiently controls heat generated by friction between the grinding balls. This keeps the temperature stable throughout the process, preserving the ingredient’s key sensory properties—aroma, color, and texture—which are crucial for high-quality artisanal chocolate production.
Smart Operation – Consistent Performance
The refiner features a dual-function volumetric pump that continuously circulates the mixture during operation. This ensures even mixing and a uniform, fine grind, resulting in consistent quality across batches.
Additionally, the grinding cylinder is gently heated to prevent fat solidification between the balls during temporary pauses. This feature supports uninterrupted operation and enhances overall efficiency.
Versatile Applications – Perfect for Various Production Models
The Selmi ball refiner is ideal not only for Bean to Bar chocolate workshops, but also for businesses producing nut butters or innovative chocolate-based products that demand a smooth and uniform texture.
The Selmi Micron 25 is a technological advancement that significantly enhances product quality in chocolate making and premium food processing.
