Is it cacao, or cocoa? Can I dry and mix at the same time? What is the best way to package cacao into big-bags? These are just some of the questions our experts answer at a daily basis for the processing of cacao. Luckily they have all the answers, challenge them!
Our knowledge of product properties enables you to optimize your process
The difference between cacao and cocoa is that cocoa has been processed with high heat, whereas cacao is not heated during processing. Whether you are producing products with cacao or cocoa, Dinnissen surely can help you to find the right solution for your process.
Our team of experienced food specialists are truly experts. They know everything there is to know about products like cacao, or cocoa. This knowledge, combined with our technical know-how, our smart way of working, and our strive to be the best enables us to find and produce innovative solutions for your specific production process.
Processing lines designed specifically for cacao
Dinnissen offers a wide range of food specific processing equipment. Our Pegasus® Mixer for example, can be tailor-made to meet the strict requirements in the food sector. We have built mixers that are capable of both mixing and moistening (and more!). The fact that multiple processing steps can be done in one single machine make the Pegasus® Mixer a very efficient solution. A custom design, combined with the unique mixing technology of the Pegasus® Mixer and its hygienic features, truly make it the best option for producers working with cacao.
Dinnissen has developed several successful projects for cacao. Below you can find some examples of machines and complete processing lines designed for cacao.
