Cocoa nib grinding system

Optimize your cocoa and nut processing with precision grinding to achieve a pumpable mass, ensuring consistent texture and enhanced flow properties in your confectionery formulations.

Grinds High-Fat Cocoa and Nuts Efficiently

The Bauermeister Beater Blade Mill SMM is engineered for high-speed grinding of high-fat content products like cocoa nibs and hazelnuts. Its unique beater blades break down material to precise particle sizes, ensuring a pumpable mass ideal for cocoa liquor, chocolate paste, and nut butter. With a jacketed grinding chamber, maintain consistent temperatures for optimal flow properties while achieving particle sizes between 0.15 and 0.5 mm. The equipment operates continuously, with non-ground particles retained within the system, minimizing wear on downstream refiners. Easily integrate into existing production lines with quick blade and sieve changes, supported by automatic grease lubrication. Ideal for chocolate manufacturers and confectionery producers, this mill supports high-capacity processing while maintaining consistent fineness and quality. Choose stainless steel options for processing durability, and benefit from minimal maintenance due to reversible rotation and easy cleaning procedures.

Benefits
