A device for conching chocolate mass has a jacket heated container (1) with a horizontal axial agitator (3) having blades (6) for efficient scraping of the container surface. A device for conching chocolate mass has a jacket heated container (1) with a horizontal axial agitator (3) having blades (6) for efficient scraping of the container surface. The container is formed of a main chamber which is connected at its bottom end with a side chamber (11) provided with a second agitator which has a shaft (9) arranged parallel to the first agitator. The tips of the radial blades (10) on the second agitator shaft describe a circle (21) which almost touches the tip circle (20) of the first agitator blades, and the two shafts are independently driven in respect of both speed and rotational direction, to provide a shearing and kneading action on the mass.
