Commercial chocolate refiner/conche

Elevate your chocolate production with a versatile 5-in-1 solution, integrating cocoa milling, sugar grinding, and precise conching to deliver consistent, high-quality products while optimizing your production line’s efficiency.

Processes and Refines Chocolate for Consistent Quality

The Next Generation RC3000 Refiner/Conche from Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken is designed to streamline chocolate processing by integrating key functions—grinding, mixing, refining, and conching—in a single unit. With its compact and hygienically closed design, this machine is ideal for small to medium-scale chocolate, compound, and confectionery producers. The RC3000 features a specially designed shaft with adjustable grinding bars and pressure mechanisms, ensuring uniform quality in every batch. Capable of processing solid and liquid forms, it reliably handles materials like caramel pralines, truffles, and peanut butter chocolate fillings. Automated control systems, including PLC with a 10-inch touchscreen, and options such as a shear attachment for low-fat masses, enhance operational flexibility. Energy efficiency is maximized with geared motors, while temperature control and automatic conching deliver consistent results. Easy maintenance with safety access covers and EWON remote access for diagnostics ensure longevity and reliability in your production line.
