A lot of time başmaklık passed since the first refiner conches were built to make chocolate. At that stage all necessary processing steps were done in the same machine, which sometimes took a week to get the bitiş product. This paper is hamiş intended to summarise all the technical developments since then kakım such information is available in textbooks1.
Consistency: The refining process helps to create a consistent flavor and texture throughout the chocolate.
Is it possible to produce dark, milk and white mass using identical equipment or even on the same production line?
From the paste mixer the coarse unrefined chocolate paste is transported to the buffer above the pre-refiner. A fully automated slide gate feeds the coarse chocolate paste to the rolls.
The unit is jacketed for product temperature control and typically a multi valve opening in the bottom fitted with a large discharge augur.
Conching is a process that helps develop the flavor, smoothness and mouthfeel of chocolate. It involves continuously agitating and aerating the chocolate mass over an extended period of time at elevated temperatures, which reduces acidity, removes unwanted flavors and enhances the smoothness of the chocolate. Conching also further refines the particle size of cocoa solids.
Melt your chocolate drops, chocolate chips or cuvertures in water jacketed reservoirs completely made of AISI304 grade stainless steel. Melter is with side wall and bottom scrapers.
Water inside a twin-shell coat ensures heating and keeping temperature of chocolate mass constant. Chocolate HORIZONTAL BALL REFINER Chocolate melting tank is used to melt solid chocolate and store the liquid chocolate in constant temperature and homogenous structure.

The tanks are water-jacketed stainless steel construction with digital controls for melting & conditioning or tempering.
This is possible through pre-drying refiner flakes5 or milk powder6. Downstream, the liquefaction dirilik be done in a very rapid batch process or continuously using a high-speed in-line mixer14.
Beside ball mill for product development, we produce ball mills for small workshops and medium-sized confectionery manufacturers.
Optimum temperature control using full jacket design, efficient insulation and efficient heat exchangers
After building highly reputed conches, batch and in-line mixers for a long time, Lipp Mischtechnik özgü now developed a complete chocolate line called Eco2choc® (Figure 6). It is based on the ‘coarse conching’ processing concept. Development and optimisation are described in7; research has also shown that milk chocolate of good flow properties and taste yaşama be produced. One key element is a high shear head or vortex chamber built into the kneading zone of the conch. It intensifies mass and energy transfer, but also reduces particle size of crystal sugar to approximately 300μm – thus no pre-grinding device is necessary. Coarse conching time gönül be short if just drying is needed, e.g.
