ABSTRACT:
In a method of preparing a chocolate mixture in a continuous mode of operation with a high throughput, raw cocoa-bean fragments are supplied to a first housing zone of an extruder and after passing through a steam lock, are acted upon by high-pressure steam and, following thereon, the first zone is connected to a vacuum pump, the mixture being subjected in this manner to a mixing, kneading and degassing operation in the first zone. The mixture is then supplied to a second housing zone following on the first housing zone and is then supplied from the second housing zone directly to a comminuting device such as a hammer mill and, after being processed in the comminuting device, the mixture is immediately supplied to a third housing zone which follows directly on the second housing zone of the same extruder and which is likewise connected to a vacuum pump. Apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a twin-shaft screw extruder having a first housing zone to which is connected a product feed pipe, a steam-lock device and a high-pressure steam supply pipe.
