Seeing is believing. In order to better communicate the capabilities and innovations available in cocoa and chocolate production equipment, Royal Duyvis Wiener and F.B. Lehmann organized Cocoa and Choco Days at their respective facilities in Koog aan de Zaan, Netherlands, and Aalen, Germany for customers and guests.
On Oct. 18-19, 75 guests attended the Choco Days program held at Royal Duyvis Wiener’s facility in Koog aan de Zaan. During the guided tour, visitors were showed a complete Q-Choc line, a real chocolate Wiener ball mill line with the newest liquid conching technology (CLC), as well as the latest technology in laboratory chocolate equipment, a F.B.
