High Efficiency Crystallizer for Chocolate Tempering

本项目将生产一种低成本、高产量、连续在线回火的巧克力机；这是这个全球行业中第一个这样的单位。每生产一公斤巧克力可以节省大约1.5兆焦耳的能量。考虑到英国每年吃掉60万吨巧克力（每人每年10公斤），这相当于每年节省近1 TJ （tera焦耳或100亿亿焦耳）。它的影响将彻底改变巧克力加工。该装置的应用超出了糖果和食品，并在所有商业规模的巧克力加工部门。

This project will produce a machine for low cost, high throughput and continuous inline tempering of chocolate; the first such unit within this global industry. It would save around 1.5 MJ of energy per kg of chocolate produced. Given that 600,000 tonnes of chocolate are eaten every year in the UK (10 kg per person per year), this would amount to a saving of nearly a TJ (tera Joule or a million million Joules) per annum. Its impact would revolutionise chocolate processing. The unit has application beyond confectionery and foodstuffs and in all commercial scale chocolate processing sectors.
