Abstract
An apparatus for processing (for example, mixing or refining) a chocolate mass, having partially cylindrical walls which form a conching vessel. At least one coaxial part extends within the vessel. The walls and the coaxial part perform a relative rotational motion due to a drive that drives either one or both. In this way, the walls are swept by shearing tools. For an increased heat dissipation, and to enable a higher input of energy, at least two tempering arrangements can be provided. Furthermore, a channel exposed to air can communicate with the vessel, and comprises a cleaning tool. Mixing tools and shearing tools can be located in close vicinity so that chocolate mass is fed from one tool to the other.
