Duplex refiner/conche for chocolate production

In chocolate manufacturing, achieving a uniform texture and flavor while reducing volatiles, acidity, and moisture is paramount. Consistency and quality in small to medium production environments pose notable challenges.

Combine grinding and conching in one process

The Next Generation Duplex Refiner/Conche by Macintyre Probat is an advanced chocolate processing solution integrating multiple functions into one unit. Designed for small to medium-scale production, it operates as a cocoa liquor mill, sugar mill, mixer, refiner, and conche. Featuring a double grinding bar support wheel mechanism and a longer cylinder with a smaller diameter, the equipment efficiently refines particles and removes volatiles, acidity, and moisture. Key components include an electric main drive motor, a refining pressure motor, and a sophisticated product temperature control system. User-friendly and low maintenance, the unit ensures consistent product quality with an automated conching procedure and adjustable pressure settings. Optional extras like a shear attachment for processing low-fat masses and anti-vibration strips for noise reduction are available.
