In an apparatus for mixing, liquefying, refining and aromatising, in particular chocolate mass, the dry mass fed to a trough 1 via a closable charging opening is treated until it liquefies, aerated and then discharged from the trough 1, in which at least two rotors 4, 5 are mounted rotatably in in each case one trough compartment 2, 3. The rotors 4, 5 exhibit mutually facing outer sides and are provided with pasting tools 6, 7 which interact with pasting surfaces 8, 9 of the trough compartments 2, 3. The charging opening 10 can be closed by a pivot cover 12 which is articulated, parallel to the axis of the rotors 4, 5, on one side of the charging opening 10 and, as seen in the axial direction, has a cross-section comprising at least two circle portions 14, 15 which have been joined together, with the result that the inner surface 16 of the pivot cover 12 forms continuations of the pasting surfaces 8, 9 of the trough compartments 2, 3. <IMAGE>
