Duplex refiner/conche for chocolate production

Effortlessly transform cocoa, sugar, and other ingredients into smooth, finely refined chocolate masses with precise control over particle size, acidity, and moisture levels, ensuring consistent quality in every batch.

Grinds and Conches Chocolate Mixtures Efficiently

The Next Generation Duplex Refiner/Conche from Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken is engineered to transform and enhance chocolate production processes. It uniquely combines the functions of grinding, mixing, refining, and conching in a single compact machine. Ideal for chocolates, compounds, coatings, and truffles, it supports production of diverse end-products like dark chocolate bars, hazelnut praline fillings, and caramel-filled chocolates.

Utilizing an innovative design, it features a double grinding bar mechanism with pressure-adjustable capabilities, ideal for maintaining consistent quality. The equipment handles batch operations efficiently, aided by an automatic conching control and temperature regulation system. With models like the RC3000D and RC5000D, you can expect medium-scale, continuous operations with low energy consumption due to an energy-efficient motor system.

Available in stainless steel with a hygienic closed design, it ensures durability and easy cleaning. Its compact size allows seamless integration into existing production lines, and the advanced PLC control system, compatible with Siemens and Allen Bradley interfaces, facilitates intuitive operation and monitoring. Additional options such as shear attachments and anti-vibration components allow further customization to meet specific production needs.

Benefits

  • Enhances product quality by ensuring consistent texture and flavor through precise pressure adjustments.
  • Increases production efficiency by combining multiple processes in a single machine.
  • Reduces operational costs with low-maintenance design and energy-efficient motors.
  • Offers flexibility in product outputs, accommodating diverse chocolate types and fillings.
  • Simplifies integration with existing systems, aided by compact and hygienic design.
