This system is used to circulate hot chocolate from the counch tank in a closed loop. This circulation is meant to aerate the chocolate and get rid of the intense smell before production.
The lobe pump is stainless steel 316, with a heating jacket. It is connected to a helical worm gear motor of 5 HP power. The rotational speed range between 70 rpm and 150 rpm, with delivery of 18 Liters/100 rotation.
The pipes are jacketed, hot water 50 Deg C circulate to keep the chocolate liquid. A Coriolis mass meter measures density of the chocolate.
Once the chocolate is ready for production, a three way valve will direct the flow away from the counch tank, through the flow meter, the sight glass, up the pipes to the delivery nozzle.
This system was outfitted by us for a large chocolate factory. We made the 5 counch tanks of 10,000Kg/tank capacity.
The counch tanks mechanism were of my own patented design.
