This machine is designed for grinding oily peanuts into peanut butter or low oil peanuts into peanut powder. It is electrically powered by a high starting-torque motor. It is a very simple machine so there is not much to go wrong. The base can be made to suit whatever you want.
All the parts which touch the peanut butter are stainless steel or nylon so they can be sterilized. It is suitable for hooking to a hopper overhead (to be provided by the customer) so that long operations can proceed unattended. The correct feed pipe (like a flexible water pipe) is a 2 inch inside diameter. This will clamp over the inlet pipe.
Method of operation: The peanuts are broken by a shaped shaft and then advanced towards grinding plates with a coarse screw. The grinding plates are shaped to either macerate the peanuts into a 'butter' or to grind them into a powder. To make peanut powder, one must have a nut with a low oil content and it must be properly dried it else it sticks together. Peanut butter making requires that the peanuts be roasted lightly before grinding or boiled in peanut oil.
Adjustment: The gap between the two grinding plates can be adjusted from zero to 5mm allowing for a wide variety of 'grinds' to be made.
Features: Voltage: 230 VAC, single phase Power: 1500 watts Motor: Twin capacitor induction motor Capacity: Approximately 25-35 kg of peanut butter per hour or 75-100 kg of peanut powder per hour. This depends on the fineness of the grind. The coarser the grind, the faster the throughput.

NOTE: The manufacturer is currently redesigning this machine to operate on a belt and pulley system. This will save on shipping fees.
