The APEX five-roller chocolate refining line brings mixing, pre-refining, fine refining, steel belt transfer, and conching together in one chocolate mass preparation system.<\/p>

The mixer prepares a uniform mass, while the two-roller pre-refiner conditions the feed for the five-roller refiner.<\/p>

The 1300S and 1800S five-roller refiners reduce solid particle size to help achieve a finer chocolate texture.<\/p>

Steel belt conveyors link the processing stages, and the conche develops flavor and adjusts the flow properties of the refined mass.<\/p>

Together, these machines provide a coordinated preparation process before downstream chocolate storage, tempering and forming.<\/p>

    Mixer and Kneader<\/h2>

    Models 800S and 1500S<\/em><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/p>

    The mixer and kneader combines recipe ingredients into a uniform chocolate mass before roller refining.<\/p>

    Its mixing and kneading action distributes the solids and fat to prepare a consistent feed for the next stage.<\/p>

    The series is available in 800S and 1500S models.<\/p>

    The configuration includes a NORD gearbox and Mettler Toledo load cells for weighing.<\/p>

    Consistent batch preparation helps the downstream refiners operate with more uniform incoming material.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Two-roller Pre Refiner<\/h2>

    Models 900S and 1300S<\/em><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/p>

    The two roller pre refiner performs the initial particle size reduction after mixing.<\/p>

    Compression and shear between the rollers break down coarse particles and prepare the mass for five roller refining.<\/p>

    The series is available in 900S and 1300S models.<\/p>

    The configuration includes an ABB motor, a Schneider frequency converter, Siemens controls and European sourced rollers.<\/p>

    Pre refining improves particle size consistency and mass plasticity, providing a more uniform feed for downstream five roller refining.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Five-roller Refiner<\/h2>

    Models 1300S and 1800S<\/em><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/p>

    The five-roller refiner provides the fine particle size reduction stage in the chocolate refining line.<\/p>

    Five rollers operating at different surface speeds apply compression and shear to reduce the size of sugar, milk powder, and cocoa solid particles.<\/p>

    The series is available as the 1300S Five roller Refiner and the 1800S Five roller Refiner.<\/p>

    The configuration includes an ABB motor, a Schneider frequency converter, Siemens controls, and European-sourced rollers.<\/p>

    The refined flakes are prepared for transfer to conching, supporting a finer texture and reduced gritty mouthfeel in the finished chocolate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Steel Belt Conveyor<\/h2>

    Belt widths 300 mm 400 mm and 500 mm<\/em><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/p>

    The steel belt conveyor transfers material between the machines in the chocolate refining system.<\/p>

    It provides a mechanical transfer route for refined flakes moving toward downstream conching.<\/p>

    Available belt widths are 300 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm.<\/p>

    The conveyor arrangement can be designed to suit the actual factory layout and equipment positions.<\/p>

    Linking the processing stages reduces the need for manual material transfer between connected machines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Chocolate Conche<\/h2>

    Single Shaft and Triple Shaft Series<\/em><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/p>

    The chocolate conche processes the refined mass through mixing, kneading and shearing under controllered temperature conditions after roller refining.<\/p>

    Conching promotes moisture and unwanted volatile removal, fat distribution and adjustment of flow properties.<\/p>

    Single shaft models are 1500S, 3000S, 4500S and 6000S, while triple shaft models are 3000T, 4500T and 6000T.<\/p>

    The configuration includes a SEW motor, a Schneider frequency converter and Siemens controls.<\/p>

    This stage complements particle refining by developing flavor and preparing the chocolate mass for subsequent storage and processing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
