Operational Plan Production The product will be manufactured by Full Automatic Chocolate Production Line (QH200), with this system, baking the moulds, depositing, forming etc. series procedure can be achieved automatically. It's available to depositing all shape of chocolate. Such as double color filledinside, nuts etc chocolate. Since our product are plain as well as nut are added this machine is appropriate. This machine can produce 100-300 kg chocolates per hour. It can produce chocolates in different shapes .It can help to reduce cost of chocolates mould. By Producing Chocolates in different shapes we can attract all segments of market. The production capacity is fully automated as mentioned above, so the need of personnel is comparative less than other semi-automatic machine. Manufacturing process Chocolate production is highly sophisticated computer controlled process with much of the new specialist machinery. Machines like as chocolate cooling tunnels, enrobing machines, coating machines, moulding machines. Chocolate processing: Production flow of chocolate Cleaning When seeds arrive to factory they are carefully selected and cleaned by passing through a bean cleaning machine that removes extraneous materials. Different bean varieties are blended to produce the typical flavor of chocolate of particular producer. Then the bean shells are cracked and removed. Crushed cocoa beans are called nibs. Roasting The beans are then roasted to develop the characteristic chocolate flavor of the bean in large rotary cylinders. The roasting lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours at very high temperatures. The bean colour changes to a rich brown and the aroma of chocolate comes through. Grinding The roasted nibs are milled through a process that liquefies the cocoa butter in the nibs and forms cocoa mass (or paste). This liquid mass has dark brown colour, typical strong smell and flavor and contains about 54% of cocoa butter. Cocoa Pressing Part of cocoa mass is fed into the cocoa press which hydraulically squeezes a portion of the cocoa butter from the cocoa mass, leaving "cocoa cakes". The cocoa butter is used in the manufacture of chocolates; the remaining cakes of cocoa solids are pulverized into cocoa powders. Mixing and Refining Ingredients, like cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings and powdered or condensed milk for milk chocolate are blended in mixers to a paste with the consistency of dough for refining. Chocolate refiners, a set of rollers, crush the paste into flakes that are significantly reduced in size. This step is critical in determining how smooth chocolate is when eaten. Conching Conching is a flavour development process during which the chocolate is put under constant agitation. The conching machines, called "conches", have large paddles that sweep back and forth through the refined chocolate mass anywhere from a few hours to several days. Conching reduces moisture, drives off any lingering acidic flavors and coats each particle of chocolate with a layer of cocoa butter. The resulting chocolate has a smoother, mellower flavor. Tempering and Moulding The chocolate then undergoes a tempering melting and cooling process that creates small, stable cocoa butter crystals in the fluid chocolate mass and is deposited into moulds of different forms. Properly tempered chocolate will result in a finished product that has a glossy, smooth appearance. Cooling The moulded chocolate enters controlled cooling tunnels to solidify the pieces. Depending on the size of the chocolate pieces, the cooling cycle takes between 20 minutes to two hours. From the cooling tunnels, the chocolate is packaged for delivery to retailers and ultimately into the hands of consumers. Location Our manufacturing unit will be located in Adipur.
