ALPER MAKINA CHOCOLATE PRODUCTION LINES

Conching is an essntial process for natural chocolate production. During conching , viscostly of chocolate is reduced as a result of heat transfer mechanical agitation. Moreover moisture, volatile substances and undesired odors are removed by this process. According to process requirements conching takes approximately 3-12 hours and consist of six zones. The systems are thermostatically controlled.System takes cold water when needed.
