The conch is a large kneader, where the powdery flakes from the refiners are treated with a large amount of mechanical energy input, usually over several hours. This is where most of the transformations described in the introduction of this article takes place.
Derece only will good heavy molds make your chocolate look more professional and like "real chocolate" (looks around) they will make the important step of molding and unmolding much easier. You want good heavy molds. Trust us.
Please read the Grinding section about how to use it and it’s limitations. Please note, the bowl is Derece dishwasher safe.
Genuine dry conching allows for more efficient evaporation of the moisture and while also benefitting from the high sheer forces from the specially designed conching elements.
The CocoTerra newsletter is sent monthly and includes a summary of the best from the blog and more chocolate goodness and insights.
To get your mass refined, the product is placed in the processing chamber and the stainless steel spheres grind and reduce the size of the particles by impact and friction force.
Water inside a twin-shell coat ensures heating and keeping temperature of chocolate mass constant. Chocolate melting tank is used to melt solid chocolate and store the liquid chocolate in constant temperature and homogenous structure.
Both processes play crucial roles in creating high-quality chocolate, and their combined effect contributes to the overall sensory experience of the bitiş product.
Because of the friction of the steel balls, refiners need external cold water supply. It is possible to use tap or tower water for cooling but we suggest using a chiller for the cooling purpose.

Recently, Bühler seems to have followed a similar strategy. For compounds the company offers a ball mill solution called SmartChoc™ with a horizontal ball mill and a shear mixer.
The goal of the melanger is to achieve a homogeneous mixture and a desirable texture in the chocolate.
After building highly reputed conches, batch and in-line mixers for a long time, Lipp Mischtechnik saf now developed a complete chocolate line called Chocolate SINGLE TUBE BALL REFINER Eco2choc® (Figure 6). It is based on the ‘coarse conching’ processing concept. Development and optimisation are described in7; research katışıksız also shown that milk chocolate of good flow properties and taste kişi 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 taşıma, but also reduces particle size of crystal sugar to approximately 300μm – thus no pre-grinding device is necessary. Coarse conching time dirilik be short if just drying is needed, e.g.
