Cocoa nibs pre-grinder for high fat seeds and nuts

Enhance your processing line with high-speed pre-grinding designed to maximize yield and minimize energy use, offering a streamlined gateway to efficient cocoa nibs, nut, and seed transformation.

Efficiently Pre-Grinds Cocoa, Nuts, and Seeds

The PG Series from Caotech comprises the PG 1500, PG 3000, and PG 6000 beater blade mills, designed specifically for the continuous pre-grinding of cocoa nibs, nuts, and high-fat seeds. These machines stand out for their optimized processing capacities, ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 kg/h, and are ideal for chocolate manufacturers and nut processing companies. Operating on continuous high-speed processes, the mills ensure consistent particle size distribution and maintain product quality across your production line.

Utilizing robust beater blade mechanisms, they efficiently break down solid and granular materials, such as cocoa and nuts, into finer forms like chocolate liquor, hazelnut paste, and almond butter. Each model is engineered with precision, featuring low maintenance costs and minimal wear, while their design negates the need for an extensive foundation, enabling seamless integration into existing production setups.

Thanks to their low energy consumption, these mills offer an economical operation while maintaining high throughput, supported by installed power capacities of up to 205 kW. Material construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, prolonging equipment lifespan particularly in food and confectionery processing environments. Plus, the intuitive design facilitates easy cleaning, minimizing downtime and enhancing overall production efficiency. Customization options and engineering support from Caotech further aid in tailoring these machines to fit specific operational requirements.
