Chocolate refiners are machines that grind cocoa beans finely to enhance the texture of chocolate. They typically use multiple rotating rollers to crush the beans and mix them with ingredients like sugar, a process known as refining. This refining process helps shorten the conching phase, which involves heating and stirring to smooth out the chocolate, thereby improving its texture and flavor.
Some chocolate refiners also incorporate conching functionality, allowing for a streamlined process from cocoa bean grinding to chocolate production.
