Chocolate refiner and conche solution

Elevate your chocolate production with a versatile solution that seamlessly integrates pre-mixing, refining, and conching in one machine, ideal for crafting diverse chocolate products from sugar-free to vegan delights.

Refines, Mixes, and Conches Chocolate Components

The MacIntyre Refiner/Conches from Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken is designed to seamlessly integrate mixing, refining, and conching processes in chocolate production. This versatile equipment is available in three configurations: Duplex, Universal, and Laboratory models, catering to diverse production needs from small batch to high-volume outputs. Its unique approach allows it to refine cocoa nibs into cocoa liquor, blend with ingredients like sugar or milk powder, and achieve precise fineness of up to 18 microns. Known for reducing moisture to under 0.5%, it caters to those producing sugar-free, vegan, and organic chocolates efficiently. With options for batch or continuous operations, the MacIntyre Refiner/Conches ensures minimal labor requirements and optimized flavor development. Enhanced cooling efficiency and a significant surface area in the Duplex model facilitate rapid volatile and moisture removal, making it ideal for artisanal and industrial chocolate making. The system is configurable to meet specific production requirements, ensuring streamlined integration into your existing production line.
