MacIntyre New Generation
Refiner / Conches
The MacIntyre all-in-one refiner/conches are available in 3 executions:
1. Duplex refiner/conches with 3000 kg & 5000 kg
2. Universal refiner/conches with 500 kg, 1250 kg, 2000 kg & 3000 kg
3. Laboratory refiner/conche with batch size of 45 kg
The universal system performs the function of a pre-mixer, refiner & conche, all in one machine and provides:
- ability to process dry and low fat (>24%) products
- perfect fit for free-from recipes or formulations with sugar substitutes
- unmatched ease of operation / minimal labour requirements
- efficient moisture reduction <0.5% if required
- wide fineness range, infinitely adjustable between input fineness and 18 µm
Due to the unmatched flexibility of the MacIntyre Refiner/Conches, the MacIntyre R/C's are an integral part of our artisan bean to chocolate lines to:
- refine cocoa nibs to cocoa liquor
- mix the liquor with additonal ingredients like sugar, milk powder, etc.
- refine the pre-mix to the desired final fineness down to 18 micron
- develop finest flavors during the conching phase
MacIntyre New Generation
Universal vs. Duplex
As shown in the cross section, the Duplex has a longer cylinder with a double spider wheel arrangement for the spring loaded grinding bars, which provides:
- better cooling efficiency / thermal conductivity
- shorter cycle times
- larger surface area for removal of volatiles, acidity and moisture
