Nut and seed pre-grinder

When dealing with high-fat roasted nuts and seeds, achieving optimal particle size distribution can be challenging. This compact solution efficiently pre-grinds these ingredients, ensuring uniform refinement in a single pass, enhancing the quality of your final product.

Pre-Grinds Roasted Nuts and Seeds Efficiently

The CM-18 from Caotech is a compact pre-grinder designed for continuous processing of roasted nuts and seeds with high fat content, essential for nut processing companies and confectionery producers. This machine excels with its effective distribution ability, processing up to 500 kg/h, achieving an end-fineness of about 120 microns. Its operation requires no foundation due to its space-efficient design, and it incorporates a robust 22 kW motor that minimizes energy consumption while maintaining low maintenance needs. Ideally suited for producing nut butters, seed pastes, and cocoa liquor, the CM-18 seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, enhancing efficiency by ensuring a uniform particle size distribution. Its construction supports durability and longevity, with options available for enhanced corrosion resistance, and allows for easy integration into your existing processing setup.
