Hamburg-based specialist for the storage of different commodities H.D. Cotterell creates additional melting capacity for cacao liquor
 
To meet the increasing customer demand for melted cocoa liquor, the H.D. Cotterell company is expanding its melting capacity in 2013. “We pulled down the old hall 15 at Ellerholzdamm, to be able to construct a new melting facility on this premises shortly“, the Hamburg-based enterprise informs in a press release. Accordingly additional melting capacity for cocoa liquor will be created. “If required, we will sterilize the cocoa liquor there as well”, the company informs. From mid-2013 cocoa butter will be melted at the previous facility in hall 17. Therefore the melting volume will rise from 3 mt/hour to 9 mt/hour.
