Low fat nut spreads including almond butter, cashew butter, pistachios butter etc, are more and more popular because they offer several advantages, including the following:
- Reduced calorie intake.
- Lower saturated fat content.
- Less risk of weight gain.
- Good source of protein and other nutrients.
- Versatility in cooking and eating.
How to make low fat almond butter or cashew butter by machine? Is there a industrial or commercial machine to produce these nut butter?
Here is a method for making nut butter with low – fat nuts recommended to specialized low fat nut butter manufacturer:
- Materials Needed: Prepare high-quality clean nuts without shells, peels and other impuries, especially stones and metals. Usually specialized sorting machines are needed, nut butter producers can choose manual or automatic sorting machine according to the production scale and investment.
- Grinding the nuts by specialized grinding machine. Put the nuts into a nut butter grinding machine, here we recommend HY series Peanut butter making machine from the manufacturer, Lianyungang Huanyang Machinery Co.,Ltd. China.
- Start the nut grinder machine and let it run. The machine combines various properties of homogenizing machine, ball mill, three-roller, shearing machine, mixer, etc. It has superior effects of superfine pulverization, dispersing emulsification, homogenization and mixing. Through the different movements of the stator and the relative movement of the rotor under high-speed rotation of 2800-2900RPM, when the material to be processed passes stator and rotor under the action of self-weight, gas pressure and centrifugal force, it receives strong shearing force and friction. The combined force of impact force, high-frequency vibration, etc., is effectively crushed, dispersed and emulsified and mixed. Homogenization is higher than 90%.
- Adjust the consistency: Not like the peanut paste or sesame butter, usually the low fat nuts like almonds, cashews, or pistachios etc., are in shortage of fat content (around 40%), they are usually too thick and not spreading easily, our solution for the nut butter producder is to add a small amount of low – fat oil like grapeseed oil or light olive oil to process smoothly. However, be careful not to add too much oil to maintain the low – fat characteristic. Usually 10-15% of oil are suggested to grind together.
- After the above automatic nut butter production plant, the nuts will release their natural oils and start to form a paste – like consistency.
- Cooling the nuts butter naturally or by specialized cooling machine according to the production scale and investment.
- Removing the air bubble which may produced in griding processing. There are professional vacuum degassing tanks for option.
- Filling the nut butter by semi-automatic filler or professional automatic filling machine according to needs.
By the above steps, you can make delicious low – fat nut butter for commercial use. The low fat nut butter can be used on bread, crackers, or use it in various recipes.
