The DB series cocoa bean debacterisation system operates on the whole product as the bacterial flora is only found on the surface of the skin.
Roasting the whole bean immediately after processing preserves the aromatic characteristics of the chosen cocoa.
The system consists of two vertically stacked conical tanks communicating through a tube equipped with two valves ensuring perfect isolation.
The quantity subject to treatment goes to the upper tank meant for whole cocoa beans receipt. As the reactor of the process the lower tank receives the right dose of product, maintains its agitation and treats it with overheated pressurised vapour for a relatively brief period which is, however, sufficient to reduce the bacterial load to the minimum.
At the end of the process, the sterilised cocoa beans flow out of the debacteriser, creating a batch tracking system that continuously feeds the next roasting stage.
What you can debacterise
With the DB series debacterialisation plant, you can break down the bacterial load while respecting the organoleptic and aromatic characteristics of cocoa
What are the characteristics
The whole bean process enables to eliminate heat-resistant bacterial flora only present on the surface
The whole bean process enables to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of cocoa
The whole bean process enables to prevent the release of volatile flavours thanks to the presence of the skin
