High Shear Conche

to improve mass transfer and heat exchange

High Shear Conche

The additional installation of high shear heads and the TRIQUENCE® mixing mechanism significantly improve material and heat exchange. Shorter conching times also mean smaller machines and reduce the number of conches required in production, which minimizes the space required.

For even more effective degassing, compressed air can be fed directly over the shear heads, and the air is discharged via the open shaft at the top of the conche. Machines with single-sided bearings and front doors also offer better access for inspection and cleaning, which further optimizes hygiene requirements and reduces cleaning effort.

Features

  • Conching time for milk chocolate: only 1–1.5 hours thanks to high shear force
  • Smaller sizes
  • Less fat required for optimal use of raw materials
  • Ideal for white chocolate, couverture, and rapid liquefaction
  • Low maintenance: only 2 stuffing box seals (1 for single-sided bearing) – durable and efficient

Design Features

  • Horizontal, cylindrical mixing drum with central TRIQUENCE® mixing mechanism
  • Optional high shear head (VORTEX CHAMBER®) for application-specific adaptation
  • Single-sided bearing with large cleaning opening
  • Only 3 mm wall clearance for minimal energy losses
  • Stepless speed control
  • Constant power or speed
  • Optimized ventilation via fan or compressed air via shear heads
  • Dead space-free discharge for higher product yield and purity
  • PLC control & on-site display for transparent process control
