Why Do Industrial Chocolate Manufacturers Choose Newark Wire Cloth?


Why Industrial Chocolate Manufacturers Choose Newark Wire Cloth


According to one recent study, the annual estimated sales of chocolate contribute approximately $83 billion to the global economy. If you needed a single statistic in order to help understand the importance of the chocolate manufacturing process, let it be that one.

But at the same time, the process itself is every bit as delicate as it is fascinating. Even a small delay in manufacturing can create a ripple effect of the worst kind in terms of meeting your long-term goals, which is why a large number of industrial chocolate manufacturers choose Newark Wire Cloth. We understand both the ins and outs of wire mesh and the role it plays in getting flavorful chocolate into the hands of satisfied customers.

The Chocolate Manufacturing Process: Breaking Things Down

Everyone knows that consumer-grade chocolate begins life as standard cocoa beans.  After the harvesting and fermentation processes have taken place, those beans move onto the drying and storage phase. Once the appropriate amount of time has passed they’ll be tested for consistency and cleaned, before ultimately being roasted.

Next comes the part of the process where the outer shell of those beans is removed, thus allowing organizations to break down the inner “meat” of the bean into smaller pieces.

The second part of this phase is called winnowing – and that is where Newark Wire Cloth comes into play. Those smaller pieces – also commonly referred to as nibs – are sorted out by size and they pass through a variety of wire mesh sieves to help make this process as effective as possible. Without reliable wire mesh sieves, the entire chocolate manufacturing process could grind to a halt. This is also where certain impurities could be introduced if you’re not careful, thus negating the quality of the entire batch.
