West Africa Cocoa Alkalization Turnkey Project – Complete Processing Turnkey Project For Cocoa Beans West African cocoa processors face a critical challenge: local processing rates remain below 30 percent, demanding a shift from raw bean export to value-added processing. The horizontal ribbon alkalization equipment eliminates dead zones through inner and outer helical ribbons, ensuring uniform alkali exposure. The complete turnkey project includes cleaning, breaking, winnowing, alkalizing, drying, and packaging. This serves cocoa grinding plants, export-oriented processors, and multinational facilities expanding local production. The horizontal configuration features low installation height, large top opening for easy loading, and bottom discharge for complete emptying. Shaft seals prevent leakage. Ribbon speed stays low to preserve nib integrity. Jacketed heating with pressurization achieves more thorough alkalization in shorter time. Safety features include pressure relief valves an…
