Technical details

Batch chocolate ball mills for pumpable chocolate mass and other fat-based mixtures.

The product family separates production models into Compact build and Industrial build.

Compact build includes RBM20, RBM40, RBM80, and RBM160 with built-in cooling and a 30â€“180 kg batch range.

Industrial build includes RBM300, RBM500, RBM750, and RBM1000 with cooling configuration specified at order and a 350â€“1000 kg batch range.

LabBM10 is specified separately for R&D and laboratory trials up to 15 kg.

Typical chocolate refining fineness is 18â€“25 Âµm depending on recipe, fat content, starting particle size, and refining time.
