Chocolate Conching Machine
The chocolate refiner is one of the key equipment in the chocolate production line, which is mainly used for fine grinding of chocolate raw materials (cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar powder, milk powder, etc.).The equipment can effectively control the temperature of chocolate paste to ensure the quality and taste of chocolate.
This fourth generation of chocolate grinder machine is our latest development of chocolate grinder. With improved transmission, automatic knife tightening by motor and PLC automatic control, it has many functions such as refining, grinding, deodorization, dehydration, etc., and has the advantages of convenient maintenance, leak proof and durable, stable grinding, energy saving, etc. It is the key and necessary equipment for chocolate production. This machine is mainly used for grinding chocolate paste, and also suitable for grinding liquid oils such as jam and peanut butter.
This machine has the advantages of compact structure, simple operation, convenient maintenance, less one-time investment, quick operation, etc. It is especially suitable for the production process requirements of small chocolate and candy factories. It is the main equipment in the chocolate production line, mainly used for fine grinding of chocolate paste. The chocolate panning machine capacity is 20L-3000L, which can be customized according to customer requirements.

Chocolate Grinding & Conching Machine (Refiner System)
Industrial-Grade Cocoa & Chocolate Refining for Premium Texture & Flavor Development
Our Chocolate Grinding & Conching Machine is a high-efficiency refining system designed to transform cocoa nibs, sugar, and other ingredients into ultra-smooth chocolate liquor while developing optimal flavor through controlled aeration and friction. This dual-function machine combines grinding and conching processes, making it essential for bean-to-bar producers, industrial chocolate manufacturers, and gourmet confectioners.
Key Benefits
1. Finer Particle Size – Grinds chocolate to 15–25 microns (adjustable) for silky texture.
2. Flavor Optimization – Conching removes acidity & enhances aroma (24–72hr programmable cycles).
3. Energy Efficient – Low-wear design with 30% less power consumption vs. traditional systems.
Key Features
1. Precision Grinding System
- Granite or Stainless Steel Rollers – For ultra-fine particle reduction (3–5 roll refiners available).
- Adjustable Gap Control – Sets fineness from coarse paste to silk-smooth liquor.
- Continuous Feeding – Automated hopper with flow regulator.
2. Advanced Conching Technology
- Dual-Action Mixing – Combines shearing + aeration to mellow flavors.
- Temperature Control – 40–80°C range (critical for milk/dark chocolate differentiation).
- Moisture Evaporation – Reduces water content to <1% for ideal viscosity.
3. Smart Automation
- PLC Touchscreen – Programs grinding time, conching duration & temperature profiles.
- Real-Time Monitoring – Tracks viscosity, moisture, and particle size (optional sensors).
- Recipe Memory – Stores 50+ formulations for quick changeovers.
4. Modular Configurations
- Compact Units (40L) for craft chocolate makers.
- Industrial Lines (500–3000L) with inline pre-mixers & tempering integration.
- Optional Attachments:
- Cocoa Butter Dosage Pump
- Lecithin Injection System
- Volatile Acid Extraction Venting
5. Low Maintenance Design
- Quick-Disassembly Rollers – For cleaning or fineness adjustment.
- Self-Cooling Jackets – Prevents overheating during extended runs.
- Scraper-Free Tanks – Smooth interiors prevent residue buildup.
Applications
1. Bean-to-Bar Chocolate – Small-batch artisan production.
2. Industrial Chocolate – Mass production of couverture or compound.
3. Specialty Products – Vegan, sugar-free, or single-origin refining.
4. Cocoa Processing – Liquor production for cocoa powder/butter.
Why Choose This Machine?
