I'm accumulating a LOT of cocoa cake and have not been able to find anyone local that is willing to pulverize it. Any suggestions for an inexpensive solution? I easily have 400 lbs of cake and a lot of demand for the cocoa powder!
At the moment we're pulverizing small amounts with a food processor and varying size sieves but it's ridiculously time consuming.

Since most of the fat is gone, maybe a big industrial coffee grinder (I'm thinking a Bunn G3) might work. If there is still too much cocoa butter, it will melt and gum up the machine (which i'm sure you're already aware of).

My cake has pretty high ~22% fat content. I can imagine a coffee grinder would make a horrible sticky mess out of that. Just wrote the Inno people about the pulverizer on their site, we had exchanged emails about it and they had even sent me a sugar sample for particle size comparison and it seemed acceptable at the time. Just wrote them again to start up where we left off.
