Halva Machines

With Halva Machines, Tahini halva is obtained by mixing and kneading tahini with sugar, water, citric acid or tartaric acid, and gypsophila extract using the proper methods.  Flavorings can be added if desired (cocoa, peanuts, etc.).

Various machines are used in the production of tahini halva. You can find these machines with the highest hygienic standards and in a design suitable for your needs within Keskin Makine Halva Machines.

How to Make Halva with a Halva Machine

First, the sesame for tahini is roasted. Roasting with Keskin Makine’s electrical sesame roasting boiler provides fuel efficiency.  As it is an electrical system, it does not require liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, and cylinders, saving 50% to 300% of fuel compared to others. The special insulation system of the sesame roasting boiler, which reduces the production temperature by 50% to 70%, also contributes to this saving. You can prefer our sesame roasting boiler, which is completely domestic production, to roast your sesame seeds with the highest quality, maximum efficiency, and minimum cost and offer them to your consumers.

Roasted sesame is ground on millstones. The ground, pasty, oily mixture is called tahini. Tahini is a 100% sesame product obtained by crushing the peeled and roasted seeds without adding any additives. Tahini obtained from sesame seeds contains an average of 54% fat, 28% high-value protein, and B vitamins. Tahini is therefore a nutritionally valuable foodstuff.  You can have a quality and efficient production process by using the tahini mill produced by Keskin Makine to obtain tahini. You can use the tahini stock tank, which is also a product of our company, to store the tahini you have produced. Using the transfer pump of this tank, you can move the tahini between the front tank and the intermediate tank with a single click.

For the next stage in the production of tahini halva, water is added to 5-15% crystalline sugar in steam boilers with mixers and a good mixing process is applied together with heat treatment to give a viscous structure. The resulting product is called tahini halva syrup (malt).

The most important process in making malt is the evaporation of the water added to the sugar. The boiling process affects the quality of the halva. The boiling temperature is very important during boiling. In tahini halva production, this temperature is around 145 °C to facilitate the hardening of the sugar. At this temperature, the sugar completely releases its water, and the water in the structure is evaporated to the desired level. It is the best decision to use Keskin Makine’s halva cooking and whisking boiler to keep the boiling degree at the desired level and to produce quality halva. This is because the cooking system operates electrically and the temperature rises above 300 degrees C. The automatic temperature control system makes it possible to make each halva production at the same temperature. Achieving the same quality in every production is the golden rule to create customer satisfaction and gain loyal customers.

Keskin Makine’s halva cooking and whisking boiler allows you to achieve the same standard in your production and gain satisfied customers. Halva cooking and whisking boiler is completely made of an A ISI 304 stainless material and has certificates of conformity.  The capacity of the halva cooking and whisking bowl is determined by the manufacturer’s use. In this way, you can find the precise machine you need from Keskin Makine. It has a speed control system. It provides maximum safety with its residual current relay.

The boiling process continues until the sugar sets. During this process, citric acid, which is also one of the important elements, is added. Towards the end of boiling, citric acid is added.

The malt is immediately poured into spherical cylindrical boilers. The gypsophila juice is added and heated rapidly to 130-140oC and stirred vigorously. At the end of the mixing, the malt turns white, soft, and sponge-like with the effect of gypsophila juice. The resulting malt is called “bleached malt (viscous mixture)”. When the malt reaches the desired consistency, it acquires a white foamy and viscous but brittle structure when cooled.  The bleached malt (viscous mixture) cooled to 70-80oC is poured into the tahini standing at the same temperature in a separate boiler in a 1:1 ratio and the mixing process is carried out. The key point to be considered here is to adjust the sugar ratio in the tahini and malt mixture in accordance with TS 2590.

Considering the halva production method and the elements used, when the oil in its composition is not fully emulsified, it can leak out of the halva, deteriorating the quality of the product and causing packaging costs. Therefore, emulsifiers have a very significant role in halva production in preventing oil leakage.

Among the halva production steps, tahini and viscous mixture, which are taken into the kneading bowl at the shoveling stage, should be mixed homogeneously with the addition of emulsifiers or flavorings such as hazelnuts, peanuts, and cocoa.  The most important factor here is the mixing technique. The mixing process is extremely important as this is where the sugars in the viscous mixture are stretched like chewing gum, and the mixture absorbs the tahini and traps it in its structure. The shoveling process ends when the mixture completely absorbs the tahini.

The end of this process is when, if the mixture is checked by hand at this stage, the sugars cannot be felt by hand and the structure resembles an elastic dough. The finished product can now be partially called halva.  In the shoveling stage, using the halva kneading bowl of Keskin Makine, which can be manufactured in different sizes according to your production capacity, facilitates production.

Then, the halva press, weighing, cutting and packaging machines complete the desired processes in a short time and halva production ends. Keskin Makine produces halva machines that are specifically produced for each process. We would be happy to welcome you to contact our company to check Keskin Makine halva machines where you can find the right solutions for your needs and produce halva with maximum efficiency.
