Basically, the production processes in PT. Teja Sekawan Cocoa Industries can be divided into 3 (three) stages as follow :

1. First stage (cleaning, pre-drying, breaking and winnowing) :

The cocoa beans (the raw materials) must be separated from other particles such as stones, metal, etc. After the separation, the beans would be heated up to 100° C or to reach  3 % of water content in the beans, at this stages all the debris should have also gone.
The process continues by putting the beans through the breaker, then the shell and the nibs would be separated (winnowing process).
The winnowing process is done 3 (three) steps, to make sure the shell attached to the nibs is minimum.
