Industrial Vintage Roaster

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Forum Members...we have found many "new-age" Roasters (mostly from Europe) and even a company that makes a Fluid style for coffee beans, that may be modified for cacao. However, i think our path leads us to a good old fashioned refurb'ed Ball Roaster.... yet locating one has been difficult!! I see a Barth Sirocco 200 (but it may be overkill for us) maybe a 50 model. Or even the old school Hershey model's look nice! Any input would be appreciated!!

I see alot of the new organic chocolate companies using recyclable packaging (ex. Kallari) I've done my due dilligence but was struggling trying to find companies that provide packaging using recycled goods.Any of your "DIY" ers come across these resources?

Small Scale New/Used Chocalate making Equipment!

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Help!We are embarking on a new journey! We have grown Cacao in the Dom. Rep. for years and are now looking into the "bean to bar" market. However, before we spend 500k on equipment that can make 50,000 bars a day, we are looking for small scare machinery. Winnowers, Temperer's...etcCould you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
