This mélange has been manufactured to EU food standards and is a high quality workhorse for bean-to-bar chocolate production. It is capable of grinding cocoa nib into fine 20 micron chocolate over approximately 48 hours.
The digital control panel allows adjustment of drum speed and wheel pressure. Control read-outs include speed, pressure, temperature and energy use. The drum has a separate servo motor for tilting the whole drum to pour out the finished chocolate. It also has built-in speed reduction should the chocolate temperature exceed a programmed level.
This machine is easy to use, clean and maintain. It is very reliable, and all parts are standard sizes/specifications that are readily available from local suppliers. It is built very solidly and capable of running non-stop 24/7, 365 days/year.
Whilst it's primary function is for chocolate, it can also be used to grind most any nuts or seeds into fine paste, such as chick peas, peanuts, and cashews.

Barth Sirocco 300 Ball Roaster
SOLD
FULLY OVERHALLED BY WOLF SPEZIALMASCHINEN 2016. Never been used since refurbishment.
Gas-powered specialty cocoa roaster with capacity up to 480kg/hr.

Requires natural gas (can be converted to LPG), 3 phase power.
Installation of external ducting to roof is site-specific and not included.
This Barth Sirroco 300 Ball Roaster is a classic Victorian machine that roasts each small batch in a rotating convection “ball”. Roasting while constantly rotating the beans enables it to roast in such a way, showcasing the terroir of the bean. The roaster is suitable for cocoa beans, coffee and nuts, whereby the product does not come into direct contact with the burner, but with a blower the heated air is blown into the roasting ball. In this way, the product is gently roasted and determined by optionally required adding cold air an optimal temperature. Once finished, the roasted material drops into a cooling vessel mounted under the roasting ball and distributed with rakes on a cooling surface of about 1800 mm diameter. The air flow in the roasting ball entrains small impurities and separates them in a cyclone.
The roaster was overhauled in January 2016 by Lothar A. Wolf Spezial maschinen GmbH; a premiere company that restores machines for the confectionery and chocolate industry in the world (proof available upon request). The refurbishment works included everything including the electrical - control box, gas burners, gas train, the drum, hopper, cooling tray etc. Video proof available. The machine was completely dismantled and sandblasted, assembled with new wearing parts, new wiring and switch box, updated cooling vat with covers.
The machine has not been installed and therefore not operated since its complete overhaul.
All parts can be packed & shipped in 1x20' HC container. We can arrange full packing, corrosion protection and shipping at extra cost.
