Abstract
The invention relates to a press for separating cocoa mass into cocoa cake and cocoa butter, comprising a frame, in which a plurality of pressure elements are disposed, and means for compressing the pressure elements, wherein the pressure elements each comprise a cavity (9) for receiving cocoa mass to be pressed, in which cavity at least one squeezer is present, and wherein a filter (10, 10′) is disposed in front of the squeezer and on the side of the cavity opposite said squeezer. In the filling position of the squeezer, the spacing between the said filters (10, 10′) is in a range from 40 to 90 mm. This enables a substantial increase in the production capacity of the press.
