Universal mill for grinding nuts and seeds

Optimize your nut paste production with a high-speed, versatile milling solution that ensures smooth, fine pastes while reducing energy consumption.

Grinds and Mills Nuts into Smooth Pastes

The Pulsar™ Nut and Seed Universal Mill from Bühler Group is engineered for seamless integration into food processing lines, offering exceptional efficiency in producing smooth, high-quality nut pastes and seed butters. This innovative equipment utilizes a high-speed rotating pin system with a corrugated stator, facilitating energy-efficient grinding that preserves flavor and texture. It processes a wide range of applications, such as peanut butter, almond paste, chocolate-nut spreads, and seed butters, making it ideal for food processors, confectionery producers, and food ingredient suppliers.

With a processing capacity capable of achieving fineness between 25 and 40 micrometers, the Pulsar™ equips your operation for high-throughput demands. Its stainless-steel construction ensures both durability and compliance with strict food safety standards. The water-cooled stator maintains product quality by allowing processing at the lowest possible outlet temperature.

Designed for ease of use, the Pulsar™ supports quick product changeovers with minimal waste and low maintenance requirements. The entire grinding process is contained, with optional metal detection for enhanced safety, and features like a linear guide assembly for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. For operations seeking reduced energy consumption, the Pulsar™ offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint by utilizing only 10 to 20 kWh/ton of production, supporting sustainable production goals while delivering superior product output.
