Specialized Process Expertise in Chocolate Manufacturing

From bean to butter and liquor to loadout, we bring hard-earned expertise and precise execution to every critical stage of chocolate production. With over two decades of hands-on experience, we understand not only how each process works—but how it fits within your larger operational goals for quality, efficiency, and safety.

Whether you're building new, upgrading existing systems, or troubleshooting performance issues, our team delivers smart, scalable solutions grounded in real-world cocoa processing knowledge.

Our Process Expertise Includes:

Green Bean Handling & Preparation

We design and implement systems for green bean receiving, cleaning, destoning, sorting, and storage that preserve quality, maximize throughput, and ensure food safety from the very first step.

Pretreatment & Winnowing

Our solutions for cocoa bean pretreatment and winnowing optimize separation efficiency while minimizing waste and maximizing nib yield. Clean separations mean better flavor, better flow, and better margins.

Nib & Shell Handling and Storage

Whether it’s intermediate storage, transfer systems, or conveying design, we create layouts that ensure clean, efficient movement of nibs and shells with minimal degradation and full traceability.

Dust Collection Systems

We engineer dust collection systems that meet strict air quality and explosion prevention standards—custom-fit to your facility, your processes, and your regulatory environment.

Nib Roasting & Storage

From batch to continuous roasters, we coordinate roasting systems with integrated storage and feed systems—ensuring uniform roast profiles, reliable throughput, and seamless integration with downstream steps.

Raw Material Storage & Dosing

We design storage and dosing systems for cocoa butter, lecithin, anhydrous milk fat (AMF), and liquor that support accurate batching, hygienic conditions, and consistent production quality.

Liquor Processing

From grinding, milling, and filtering to pigging and storage, our liquor processing systems reduce waste, ensure quality, and integrate seamlessly with your downstream formulation and dosing needs.

Cocoa Butter Processing

We handle everything from melting and dosing to jacketed tank storage and process integration, maintaining temperature control and material integrity every step of the way.

Tank Farms – Jacketed & Unjacketed

Our expertise in designing and commissioning tank farms ensures optimized space usage, precise temperature control, and cleanability for both heated and unheated ingredients.

Lot Control & Traceability

We build lot control systems that ensure traceability from raw material intake through final packaging—supporting regulatory compliance, internal QA, and customer peace of mind.

Dosing Systems

Whether manual or automated, we design dosing solutions that prioritize accuracy, consistency, and integration with your process control systems.

Pigging Systems

Our hygienic pigging systems maximize yield, minimize waste, and dramatically improve cleanout efficiency—especially critical in high-value chocolate and dairy-fat formulations.

Tanker Loading & Unloading

We provide clean, safe, and efficient tanker transfer systems that keep your ingredients moving smoothly in and out of the facility—complete with temperature control, filtration, and CIP options.

Filtration – Vibratory & Automatic

Our filtration systems remove solids and ensure product purity without compromising flow—protecting downstream equipment and final product quality.

Let’s Build a Better Process Together

We don’t just understand chocolate—we understand how to build systems that support your goals for food safety, efficiency, scalability, and ROI. Whether you're launching a new line or refining your legacy processes, we bring the depth of experience to get it done right the first time.
