Product Description
Technical parameters:
The chocolate (conche) milling machine is one of the major equipments which is used for the fine grinding of chocolates, and it is also suitable for the fine grinding of soybean flour, as well as the daily used industrial chemicals for high-standard granularity.
The fine grinding time is about 8~16 hours depend on different model, the average granularity can achieve 20-25 micron.
This machine has many merits such as tight structure, easy operation, convenient maintenance, little one-off investment, and so on.
It is the key equipment for the fine grinding of chocolate paste materials in the chocolate production line. And it is suitable especially for the technical request of chocolate and candy factory.

Superior Refining and Conching PerformanceEngineered for fine chocolate, creams, and pastes, this conching machine leverages variable speed controls (2065 rpm), a double-jacketed drum, and an efficient electric heating system. The result is highly homogeneous refining, achieving a fineness of 20 microns. Whether used by manufacturers or high-volume artisanal producers, expect smooth, consistent texture every time.
Built for Hygiene and Easy MaintenanceThe machines interior and exterior surfaces are polished, promoting effortless cleaning and product safety. With CIP (Clean-In-Place) readiness and a manual feed hopper, the risk of cross-contamination is minimized. Users can choose between automatic or manual discharge, and centralized oil lubrication guarantees longevity while keeping maintenance straightforward.
Smart & Safe OperationFitted with a computerized PLC touch screen, operators can precisely control parameters like temperature and speed. Robust safety features, including emergency stop and overload protection, are integrated for peace of mind. The double-layered jacket and digital temperature control help maintain stable processing conditions within a 5C 40C ambient environment.
FAQs of 500L SUS 304 material chocolate conching machine chocolate refiner:
Q: How does the 500L SUS 304 chocolate conching machine improve chocolate texture and quality?
A: The machine refines chocolate mass, creams, or pastes to 20 microns fineness through controlled mixing and conching at variable speeds (2065 rpm). Its double-jacketed drum offers stable temperature management, which, together with the optional vacuum degassing, helps achieve a smooth, homogeneous product with reduced moisture and improved mouthfeel.
Q: What is the typical processing time for a batch, and what factors influence it?
A: Batch processing time ranges from 8 to 20 hours depending on the recipe, ingredients, and desired fineness. Factors like cocoa content, fat percentage, and processing temperature can affect the total conching duration.
Q: When should I use the vacuum degassing system?
A: The optional vacuum degassing system is ideal when production requires low residual moisture or air content in the final product. For premium chocolates and delicate creams, this system further improves quality by eliminating air bubbles and excess moisture during conching.
Q: Where can this conching machine be installed and operated?
A: This machine is designed for floor mounting and is suitable for use in chocolate factories, confectionery workshops, and food processing facilities. It can operate efficiently in ambient temperatures between 5C and 40C and requires a 380V/50Hz power supply with three-phase electricity.
Q: How easy is it to clean and maintain the machine after production?
A: Cleaning is facilitated by a polished SUS 304 stainless-steel surface and a CIP (Clean-In-Place) ready system. Centralized oil lubrication and accessible maintenance points further ensure that daily upkeep is simple and hygienic.
Q: What are the primary advantages of using this conching machine for chocolate production?
A: Key benefits include high efficiency, consistent refining to 20 microns, precise temperature control via a digital interface, reliable safety features, low operational noise (75 dB), and automation through PLC touch screen control. These attributes streamline production, improve output quality, and reduce manual labor.
Q: Is the machine suitable for processing products other than chocolate?
A: Yes, besides chocolate mass, the conching machine is effective for producing smooth creams and pastes that require a high degree of refinement and uniform texture, thanks to its adaptable speed, temperature, and fineness controls.
