Cocoa Peeling Machine for High-Accuracy Cocoa Nibs Production

A cocoa peeling machine is the key equipment used to remove the shells from roasted or dried cocoa beans and produce clean cocoa nibs for chocolate making, cocoa powder processing, and commercial cocoa production. Our cocoa bean peeling machines combine roller peeling, airflow separation, and optional vibrating screening to ensure high peeling accuracy, low nibs breakage, and stable long-term performance.

How the Cocoa Peeling Machine Works

The cocoa peeling machine uses a mechanical peeling roller system to crack the shells, followed by an airflow separation system that removes the lighter husks. Advanced models are equipped with vibrating screens for precise nibs grading.

1. Feeding: Cocoa beans are fed into the stainless-steel hopper anddelivered evenly to the peeling rollers.
2. Roller Peeling: The rollers gently rub and crack the outer shells of the beans without damaging the nibs.
3. Airflow Separation: The blower or cyclone suction system extracts the husks and discharges them into a dust-free collector.
4. Nibs Screening (optional): Multi-layer vibrating screens classify nibs according to size, improving uniformity for grinding or roasting.

This integrated structure ensures uniform peeling, high efficiency, and a peeling rate of 98–99%+ depending on the model.

Key Features of Our Cocoa Bean Peeling Machines

• High peeling accuracy (98–99%)
• Food-grade stainless-steel contact parts
• Low cocoa nibs breakage and consistent output
• Adjustable peeling gap and airflow for different cocoa varieties
• Cyclone dust collection for a clean workshop environment
• Optional vibrating sieves for nibs grading
• Durable steel structure for long-term stable operation
• Multiple capacities for small, medium, and industrial processors

This machine also serves as an efficient cocoa dehuller, cocoa husk removing machine, and cocoa nibs processing machine depending on the production line setup.

Applications of Cocoa Peeling Machine

The cocoa peeling machine is widely used in:

• Cocoa Nibs Production: Removes shells efficiently and produces clean nibs for grinding into cocoa liquor or chocolate mass.
• Chocolate Manufacturing Plants: Ideal for bean-to-bar chocolate makers who require consistent nibs quality before refining and conching.
• Cocoa Powder Production Lines: Clean nibs ensure higher extraction efficiency and smooth powder texture during milling.
• Small Craft Chocolate Workshops: Compact models provide artisanal producers with an efficient peeling solution while maintaining product quality.
• Agricultural and Food Processing Industries: Useful for nut, cereal, and grain peeling processes when adapted, making it a versatile peeling device.
• Complete Cocoa Bean Processing Lines: Works seamlessly with cocoa roasters, cocoa nib grinders, cocoa butter presses, cocoa powder mills, etc.
