Batch Liquid Chocolate Conching Machines (VMC Series & HMC1000)

Technical details

Five batch liquid chocolate conche models, 100 to 1000 kg per batch.

Selection rule: pick the smallest model whose nominal capacity meets the required batch.

220 V single-phase available only on VMC100 and VMC200 (200 kg ceiling).

VMC400 and VMC600 accept either 220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase.

HMC1000 requires 380 V three-phase.

Vertical VMC models are caster-mounted and suit multi-recipe production with ~13 h cycle.

Horizontal HMC1000 is fixed installation with lobe pump, sieve filter, and load cells, suited to single-recipe industrial production.

Conches do not reduce particle size â€” input must be already refined to 18â€“25 Âµm.

Vertical Batch Liquid Chocolate Conche VMC200

Vertical batch liquid chocolate conche â€” 200 kg per batch on 220 V single-phase. Last 220 V-only model in the range; the next step requires three-phase capability. Caster-mounted, orbital agitation, water-jacketed PID heating, adjustable air extraction, gear pump. Typical conching cycle ~13 h, recipe dependent. Move to VMC400 when required batch exceeds 200 kg.

Type: Vertical batch liquid conche
Mixing principle: Orbital agitation
Heating: Water-jacketed with heating element
Temperature control: PID controlled
Air extraction: Adjustable air suction
Pump: Gear-type pump
Loading capacity: 200 kg
Material: AISI 304 stainless steel

VMC400 · 19,000 EUR

Vertical Batch Liquid Chocolate Conche VMC400

Vertical batch liquid chocolate conche â€” 400 kg per batch with dual electrical supply (220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase). Caster-mounted, orbital agitation, water-jacketed PID heating, adjustable air extraction, gear pump. Typical conching cycle ~13 h, recipe dependent. Move to VMC600 when required batch exceeds 400 kg.

Type: Vertical batch liquid conche
Mixing principle: Orbital agitation
Heating: Water-jacketed with heating element
Temperature control: PID controlled
Air extraction: Adjustable air suction
Pump: Gear-type pump
Loading capacity: 400 kg
Material: AISI 304 stainless steel

VMC600 · 21,000 EUR

Vertical Batch Liquid Chocolate Conche VMC600

Largest vertical batch liquid chocolate conche in the range â€” 600 kg per batch with dual electrical supply (220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase). Caster-mounted, orbital agitation, supports recipe changeovers between batches. Typical conching cycle ~13 h, recipe dependent. Move to HMC1000 when required batch exceeds 600 kg. VMC600 suits multi-recipe production; choosing it for single-recipe high-volume production limits throughput because each batch remains isolated, while HMC1000 with closed-loop circulation runs the same recipe continuously.

Type: Vertical batch liquid conche
Mixing principle: Orbital agitation
Heating: Water-jacketed with heating element
Temperature control: PID controlled
Air extraction: Adjustable air suction
Pump: Gear-type pump
Loading capacity: 600 kg
Material: AISI 304 stainless steel

Horizontal Batch Liquid Chocolate Conche HMC1000

Horizontal batch liquid chocolate conche â€” 1000 kg per batch on 380 V three-phase, fixed industrial installation. Horizontal agitation with splashing disk and forced air extraction, lobe pump with sieve filter, load cells, closed-loop circulation or direct transfer to storage tank. Operator-controlled cycle time. Requires 380 V three-phase supply. Choose HMC1000 only when production exceeds 600 kg per batch or the same recipe runs continuously. Frequent recipe changes remove its throughput advantage because full clean-out becomes required.

Type: Horizontal batch liquid conche
Agitation: Horizontal agitation with variable mixing speed
Chocolate conditioning: Splashing and air extraction for volatile removal
Temperature control: PID controlled heating
Operation mode: Closed-loop circulation or transfer to storage tank
Weighing: Load cells
Loading capacity: 1000 kg
Electrical supply: 380V three-phase
