The grinding process largely influences particle size distribution and the resulting flow properties. Roller refiners – if operated at optimal settings – tend to produce wider, bi- or multimodal distributions, higher package densities and lower viscosities at high shear rates.
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.
The process is shown in Figure 4. Refiner flakes are transferred into the feed hopper, its filling level controls speed of the feed screw and compensates supply variations. While some cocoa butter is added, the screw feeds the pasting columns. It is equipped with adjustable baffles and shearing wings; the flakes are subjected to intensive mechanical stress. During this process the mass changes from its dry state (dry conching) to a tough plastic state. Cleaned conditioned air is supplied by fan. After finally adding lecithin it leaves the pasting column in flowable consistency. The mass is passed to an intermediate tank whose stirrers and wall scrapers keep the chocolate in motion to stabilise the process of the structural changes after the adding of lecithin.
Instead it aims to briefly introduce the different systems for chocolate mass production offered by various companies in order to give readers an overview on what is currently available on the market.

Both processes play crucial roles in creating high-quality chocolate, and their combined effect contributes to the overall sensory experience of the bitiş product.
Used to make a variety of chocolate & nut pastes, as well kakım spreadable creams. The Selmi Micron is also used for bean to pas chocolate making.
For medium- and large-scale producers there are a wide range of technical options. The varying needs of chocolate producers and the various advantages and disadvantages of the systems on the market make it impossible to give a general recommendation.
A chocolate melanger is a machine used to grind and refine chocolate ingredients, such bey cocoa nibs and sugar, to create a smooth texture. The primary purpose of a chocolate melanger is to blend the cocoa solids with other ingredients to achieve a desirable consistency and flavor.
