Are you tired of passing the cocoa beans and nibs multiple times in a winnower to get the best separation? Are you losing money in the nibs wasted with the husk? Are you losing the quality of the chocolate because there is a lot of husk with the nibs? Is grinding the nibs with husk damaging your melanger/grinder needing to replace the wear & tear parts more often? Do you want a winnower that separates 99.9% of the husk in a single pass? Are you changing the cracker rollers too often? Is your cracker creating a lot of dust or fine nibs that end up in landfill with husk?
If you have answered yes to any of the questions above, then CocoaTown has an answer. Look no further. Here is the InnoWinno-40 - a Cracker + Winnower combination that can process up to 18kgs of cocoa beans in one hour. 40 lbs (18 kg) of cocoa beans per hour means 288 tonnes/year – if the machine is operating 8 hours a day, 200 working days in a year. It can handle small chuncho beans to normal sized beans without any problem. No need to adjust the roller gaps or replace the rollers.
Extra big hopper to hold more beans. Compact but powerful cracker breaks the beans efficiently using very little electricity (12V, 3 amp motor). Cracked beans are pulled in to the separation column. See through window in the separation column is a show stopper that the customers call as “Meditative & mesmerizing”. The clean nibs are collected at the bottom in the stainless steel nib collector tray. The husk ends up in the closed container. No dust, no mess. Use the airflow adjustor to fine tune the separation. If the nibs end up with the husk, there is too much suction. Open the airflow adjustor more. If the husk ends up with the nibs, there is not enough suction. Close the opening in the airflow adjustor. The whole system is easy to use and clean between the batches.
InnoWinno-40 is customizable for various uses. Our customers have used it to separate 2 types of plastic (plastic from milk can container and plastic from the label cut into 2 mm pieces, separating the fine feathery part of the corn kernal from corn meal, separating the fine husk attached of coffee bean, ants from the twigs and mud to make ant sauce etc). If you have a special need reach out to us to find a solution.
Customers are calling it meditative and mesmerizing to see the cracking and winnowing process in action. It provides a great curb appeal, it you want to showcase your process in front of your customers.
Cracker uses very little electricity -just 12V, 3 amp motor. It is a big cost savings on the utility bills. The vacuum system uses 750W for 110V. Here are the benefits of our new InnoWinno-40 Winnower:
· uses less electricity – over 50% savings on electric bills when compared to competitor machines
· compact - less real estate cost to use the machine
· less weight and volume than buying the Cracker & winnower separately - savings on shipping charges + import costs
· Cracker + winnower in the same machine – save on labor charges
· Efficient - 99.9% clean nibs (with no husk) and husk without any nibs - huge savings on the cost of making chocolate especially with the high prices of cocoa currently
· Easy to adjust the airflow – to fine tune efficient separation
· Separation in one pass - no need to pass the nibs through multiple passes to get the separation - savings on labor + utility cost
· Husk collected in a closed container - no dust. No risk of contaminating the food preparation area - hygienic and reduces real estate cost
