Complete Buhler

This cocoa bean line, is owned by a multi-national company in Belgium and they operate it as 1 line. At full capacity it could process about 3T’s of bean per hour. It has recently finished in production. The machinery is still installed and includes the connecting transfer equipment but below is a summary of the main elements, the equipment must be removed before the end of February 2027. However we are aware that not everyone is going to want such a large capacity line and as almost all machines are duplicated within the line we have therefore decided to split the line and offer as 2 lines, if preferred.
With regards to the years of manufacturer, they vary from about 5 years old to 30 years old but all electrics have been upgraded and the line was fully functioning until the end September 2026..

The buyers of either Line 1 or 2 will also have the opportunity to buy following additional items available at additional cost:
Wiener Ball Mill, model 100S with pump x 3 machines available
Wiener Wieneroto ball mill model C40 with pump x 5 machines available – Selling as a single machine and 2 pairs of 2 machines,
FB Lehmann F100 horizontal ball mill

1 x ProFoss TM2 analyser
Barth Tornado 3000RS batch roaster with cooler drier 3000, batch size approximately 1,000kg of nibs

With regards to these individual machines, these also part of the same line but again we are aware that not everyone uses ball mills and the other items so we have given the first choice to the buyers of the bean processing equipment to choose if they want these or not. At this stage we will not sell these machines individually, we know already we can sell them very easily but we don’t want to do this yet because maybe it will improve our chances of selling the bean processing lines if the buyer can also buy these parts.

Inspections can be arranged, nearest airport is Brussels.
