A cocoa butter press machine is designed to extract cocoa oil from cocoa mass or cocoa liquor under hydraulic oil pressure. Thus, it is also called a hydraulic oil press machine. After cooling, the cocoa oil became cocoa butter. Cocoa butter or cocoa oil can be used to produce chocolate products or ingredients for other snacks. The cocoa oil press has the characteristics of high-quality oil products, high efficiency, easy operation, energy-saving, and wide application. The cocoa butter extraction machine is also suitable for pressing other materials, such as olive, sesame, sunflower seed, almond, coconut, coconut, etc.
Cocoa Butter Processing Steps
Since cocoa butter/oil is extracted from cocoa mass, do you know how to make cocoa mass/cocoa liquor? Here are the processing steps.
| Roasting | In this step, the roasted cocoa beans are produced by the cocoa roasting machine. |
| Peeling | After roasting, the cocoa peeling machine peels the cocoa beans to get cocoa beans. |
| Grinding | The cocoa beans are ground by the grinding machine to obtain the cocoa mass. |
| Pressing | A cocoa butter press presses cocoa mass to obtain cocoa oil and cocoa oil cake. After cooling, it becomes cocoa butter. |

Cocoa Butter Press Machine Benefits
- Good oil quality
It’s pure physical pressure. There is no high temperature generated in the cold pressing process, so the pressing does not damage the organic components of the oil material. The final oil has a natural flavor with high cleanliness and high cake value.
- Convenient operation and high efficiency
With the mechatronic design, the cocoa butter press machine has a high degree of automation and a low failure rate. The complete processing time of a batch, from loading to unloading, takes only a few minutes.
- Wide range of applications
Raw materials can be walnut, pine nuts, almonds, olives, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, camellia seeds, sesame, flax, peanuts, wheat germ, germ corn, etc
