You walk down the aisles of your drug store or grocery and you’re face to face with chocolate, heart-shaped marshmallows, bonbons, truffles, and any seasonal candy that just might help you say I love you
Chocolate mass is made from fat or fat containing ingredients – usually cocoa butter and liquor, sometimes milk fat and particles, usually sugar, cocoa solids and sometimes dry milk products.

The Thouet RC and DRC are genuine ‘dry’ conches – they are filled with dry chocolate flake and will keep the product ‘dry’ through out the conching process until the very end when the cocoa butter and lecithin is added.

For normal operation, you’ll only need one worker to load product onto the grid and/or adjust the machine settings. We recommend having two workers available during changeover of the melt grid and removal of the stirrer.
Chocolate yield Capacity: The machine’s chocolate yield capacity is an essential factor to consider. A larger chocolate processing facility will require a machine with a higher yield capacity.
The Spectra 11 used to refine your Chocolate (and nut butters). It will refine bey little bey 1 lb of chocolate up to about 9 lbs of chocolate. Once your cocoa beans have been passed through the Champion, this piece of equipment is used to reduce the grit from the sugar you will add.
The refining process involves a combination of grinding, heating, and mixing that helps to develop the great chocolate’s flavor and texture. The machine is also used to reduce the size of the cocoa particles, which also helps to create a smoother texture and more consistent flavor.
This allows a reliable process to achieve and maintain a constant quality of the product from batch to batch.xt
Schmidt manufactures the equipment “at the heart of the chocolate manufacturing process” ranging from chocolate mixing, chocolate melting, to chocolate conches.
Priming time. (this is the time from when product is loaded into the melter to the point where the product level in the tank is above the outlet port)
Optimum temperature control using full jacket design, efficient insulation and efficient heat exchangers
Specific energy density in a continuous conche is much higher than in any kind of batch conch, because high energy input is related to small conching space, where ‘nearly 100 per cent of the particles are under Chocolate HORIZONTAL BALL REFINER treatment at the same time’
