The DCM Breeze Cracker-Winnower is an economical, all-in-one unit designed with the artisan chocolate maker in mind. Cracking and winnowing beans is one of the most labor-intensive steps in chocolate making, it has a very large financial impact on day to day operations. Our goal at DCM was to build a machine that would meet the following criteria:
* Low cost of ownership
* Easy to service and maintain
* High single-pass efficiency
* Dust-free
* Reduced labor costs
With its small footprint, adjustable cracking system, and solid stainless construction, DCM Breeze processes raw and roasted cocoa beans at an average rate of 40 kg/hour*. Breeze quietly & efficiently processes beans of all sizes after only a single pass; no pre-sorting or manual post-processing is needed.
When you combine DCM’s advanced engineering process with Breeze’s superior-build quality, the result is very little dust and fewer shell fragments in the nibs. And due to the lack of fines, there is low loss of nibs and cocoa butter in the winnowed shells.

To calculate and to understand efficiency rates, we selected beans from several origins and hand-peeled them. We sampled 50 grams of roasted beans from Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Dominican Republic for each trial. The average husk yield from hand-peeling was 7 grams. It is a very simple experiment and you can also do it to understand your nib to husk ratio. Since these beans were carefully hand-sorted, the efficiency is approximated at 100%. We then compared these results to automated processing rates of 100 grams of roasted beans after a single pass. Click here to see our trials.
*The end weight of nibs is pure nib weight after only a single pass.

This impressive new vacuum attachment comes as an upgrade with the Breeze Winnower™, allowing makers to reduce the sound level of the vacuum by up to 20dB or 75%. The advanced acoustic design absorbs the sound waves from the shop vac and reduces overall volume without reducing vacuum pressure or air flow. WSPRR™ is made of durable plastic that can be easily wiped clean. Simply attach WSPRR™ at the back of an ordinary shop vac. Click here to hear the difference.
