Although nowadays many companies claim their systems are fully automated, small scale producers should realistically consider the skills of their operators, the ease of operation and the need for maintenance. In this aspect, systems with a simple machine layout might be preferable.
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.
Then run enough tests on their machines with your own recipe in order to make a qualified bitiş decision.
