Melanger is a granite stone on granite stone grinder to grind cocoa bean nibs to chocolate liquor. Melanger is an ideal tool for chocolatiers who want to make chocolate from bean to bar or cocoa nibs to cocoa liquor. The melanger has enhanced ventilation system and helps to grind up to 10 lbs of cocoa nibs for 24 hours or more.

Melangers have two #3 black granite stone rollers that rotate at 135 -140 rpm on a granite slab. This creates tremendous shear and reduces the particles of sugar and cocoa to the smoothness expected in modern chocolate, about 1-30 micron range. (Ref. Chocolate Alchemy)

The roller stones and wiper are attached to the stainless steel shaft, and the whole roller stone assembly, is removable as one piece. They are easy to clean, handle and store. The roller stone assembly is locked into the lid for reproducible tension. The conical roller stones serve dual function – conching in addition to grinding.

Two models available to suit your needs:

Basic Melanger  for novice or the home enthusiast. Has additional ventilation to prevent the motor from overheating when used for 24 hours.

Deluxe Melanger for small chocolate businesses or for R&D to develop recipes for big businesses. Has additional ventilation and an external fan to prevent the motor from overheating when used for more than 24 hours.
