Built to solve. Designed to deliver.

The MACINTYRE Refiner/Conche is an innovative, all-in-one solution that seamlessly integrates five key processes: cocoa nib grinding, pasteurizing, sugar grinding, mixing, refining, and conching – within a single, compact machine. Designed for flexibility and efficiency, it serves as a universal tool for the production of chocolate, compounds, coatings, pralines, truffles, and fillings, making it ideal for small to medium-scale manufacturing. Additionally, the MACINTYRE Refiner/Conche excels at processing a wide range of rework, further enhancing its versatility and value.

The Refiner/Conche features a specially engineered shaft with grinding bars and an adjustable pressure mechanism, allowing precise control over the product between the grinding and lining bars. This ensures a stable process and consistent product quality across batches

This all-in-one machine supports a flexible, step-by-step workflow:

  • Cocoa nib grinding – with optional pasteurization via water addition, heating, and rotation
  • Mixing – rotor rotation without applied pressure
  • Refining – rotor rotation with pressure on the grinding bars
  • Conching – rotor rotation with low or no pressure for smooth texture development

The Refiner/Conche functions as a stand-alone unit but is also engineered for seamless integration into a production line upstream of the BMC ball mill as an integral part of the MACINTYRE/WIENER Line. By combining mixing and pre-grinding in the Refiner/Conche with final fine grinding in the BMC, overall processing times are significantly reduced.
