Abstract
The winnowing of cocoa beans is realized by the three basic mechanical operations of crushing, sieving, and sifting. At August Storck KG, different plants are used for the winnowing process. In the following paper, two plants are compared with regard to the procedural processes, and the respective advantages and disadvantages are analyzed and explained. The success of the winnowing plants is determined by two parameters: The shell content in the product stream is used to evaluate quality, and the nib content in the shell stream allows conclusions about economic efficiency.
可可豆的绞碎是通过压碎、筛分和过筛三种基本机械操作实现的。August Storck KG 公司使用不同的设备进行可可豆的绞碎。在下面的文章中,将对两套设备的程序过程进行比较,并对各自的优缺点进行分析和说明。绞纱设备的成功与否取决于两个参数:产品流中的果壳含量可用于评估质量,而果壳流中的果仁含量则可用于评估经济效益。
