Pre-grinder for roasted nuts and seeds
Maximize efficiency in creating smooth nut and seed spreads with this pre-grinding solution designed for continuous, high-speed operations that ensure optimal particle size distribution.

Pre-Grinds Nuts and Seeds for Optimal Texture
The CM-24 from Caotech is a compact nut and seed pre-grinder tailored for food processing and confectionery industries. It features a continuous operation mode, efficiently pre-grinding high-fat nuts and seeds like almonds, peanuts, and sesame for products such as butters and pastes. The CM-24 achieves an optimal particle size distribution with a throughput of up to 800 kg/h, ensuring consistency in end-products like cocoa liquor and praline fillings. With an installed power of 45 kW, the machine minimizes energy consumption and maintenance needs. Designed for ease of integration into existing lines, it requires limited floor space and no foundation, simplifying installation. The robust design includes options for stainless steel materials, making it suitable for various food-grade environments.
