2. Second stages (alkalizing, roasting and
grinding) :
The clean nibs is put into the silo nibs, then
heated up to 150° C in a reactor, at the same
time the nibs would be mixed together with water
and Potassium Carbonate, so that the desired
acidity (pH) and color can be reached.
The output from the reactor will go through 2
(two) drying stages and processes to become
liquor with 3 (three) steps of grinding machine
(first grinding, intermediate, and fine
grinding), to get constant and better fineness.
The result will be keep into some big silos for
preparation to presses.
