DCM Rapid Refiner

The Rapid Refiner‘s heating function creates a gentle airflow (30 cfm) inside the drum that helps to disperse acrid compounds, especially acetic acid, therefore reducing refining times. The heating setting also helps to reduce the moisture content of ingredients.

The Rapid Refiner’s cooling function works by blowing room temperature air on the outside of the drum to bring down the temperature of the contents should this be necessary.

The unit’s heating and cooling modes provide makers with greater control over temperatures during production, therefore improving taste and consistency from batch to batch. By helping to pre-heat roller stones and ingredients, cocoa butter is more quickly and efficiently released. Achieving fluidly faster means that ingredients can be added earlier in the production cycle.

Applications:

• Compact and made from food-grade, stainless steel, the Rapid Refiner is designed for DCM Melangeurs 35, 70, 100, 150 or 200. This accessory attaches discreetly onto the back of the mainframe of the machine and will not interfere with loading and unloading processes.

The Rapid Refiner is also recommended for seed and nut butter production as similar issues such as moisture content and fat release can be resolved through it’s use.

Heating Function:

• The Rapid Refiner helps makers maintain desired temperatures from batch to batch because the temperature reading is measured internally using a Thermo-couple. Unlike an infrared reading that measures surface temperatures, the Thermo-couple helps makers to accurately monitor the temperature of chocolate or nut spreads.

Cooling Function:

• A room-temperature cooling system allows makers to run a refiner at maximum efficiency without overheating the product. Should the temperature of the mass increase beyond the set point, the fan will turn on automatically. This feature is especially important for raw makers who struggle to keep temperature below the threshold.

Features:

• High-quality, all-natural granite stones that refine particle size down to less than 20 μ.
• The space-efficient machine creates great shear, enabling a faster working time. In addition, the processing efficiency allows for maximum retention of the beans’ inherent qualities, therefore honoring their true potential to express organoleptic (fine flavor) profiles.
• Low-impact refining allows for the maximum retention of nutritional value while at the same time preserves the shelf-life of the product.
• Continuous duty motor is engineered specifically to run 24/7 days year-round without the risk of overheating.
• No external cooling fans are needed.
• The machine can be safely operated for long refining times at varying speed due to a unique motor design.
• The variable frequency drive system saves electricity and runs the machine efficiently. This system meets or exceeds the latest international energy efficiency standards.
• A fine-tension controller adjusts stone pressure during the refining stage allows makers greater control over the finished product.
• Direct-drive from the fully sealed gearbox, with no belts or chains to maintain, designed for continuous use without requiring maintenance.
• Drum tilting mechanism to easily unload product. The machine can be handled by a single operator.
• Refiner features leveling caster wheels for convenience, the machine can be leveled on an uneven floor.
• Metal mating surfaces are rubber-mounted to reduce vibration and improve performance.
• Easy-to-access ‘Emergency Stop Button’.
• Motor overload protection shuts down the entire machine should it ever draw too much current at any time, preventing it from overheating.
• Easy-to-service with a few tools and with basic knowledge.

Accessories:

• Removable and washable intake air filter for easy-cleaning.
