Electra Nut Grinder

Electra Nut Grinder

The Electra grinder makes spreadable nut butter from peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios and more. Today's consumers want to know what’s in their food. The Electra puts the answer directly in view and lets them take home a self-processed, ready-to-eat convenience food with superior fresh taste!

Perfectly suited to speciality food stores, the NSF-certified Electra grinder is an eye catching centrepiece in your bulk food section, creating a fun self-serve dynamic that draws consumers in, then brings them back for more. Electra grinders are in the fastest growing natural foods stores in the U.S. and internationally. The machine can also be used behind the counter, or to fill containers for distribution.

The Electra will grind peanuts, honey roasted peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios and cacao beans. Dry roasted and unbalanced nuts work the best for producing a spreadable butter containing fine-textured particles. Raw, unroasted nuts are not recommended in the Electra, as they may produce a thick and coarse nut butter meal paste or not produce a nut butter at all. The Electra uses only whole butter stock grade peanuts. All other nuts listed must be diced or chopped and cannot be processed whole. Their smaller size feeds into the mill properly and they're priced lower than fancier grades. Almonds specifically need to be dry roasted, medium diced 22/8 almonds with a very low moisture content. If you need a source, we can direct you to a supplier of both butter stock nuts and nutrition-labelled consumer containers for self serve operation. Products not listed are not grindable and include sesame, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and walnuts.

Easy to use: The switch on the face of the motor cabinet turns the machine on, and nut butter is dispensed from the bottom of the milling head (at the bottom of the silver cap in photos.) An internal timer controls run time, and operation can be stopped at any time with the off switch. Disassembly and cleanup of the Electra nut mill is easy, with full access requiring no tools.

2.5 lbs. of nut butter is produced per minute. The internal timer can be adjusted to run from 1 second to 17 minutes, or disabled. As shipped, the timer is set to 24 seconds, which produces about 1 pound of nut butter. The hopper holds 20 pounds of nuts. The nut butter output generally runs about 100-110° F. The strong 1.5HP, fan-cooled motor has a 100% duty cycle so it won’t overheat under steady use, and the long-life grinding burrs are milled from solid food grade stainless steel.

The two models listed on this page (red or stainless) are for use with 220V/50Hz electrical power and are rated at 10 amps. Each is equipped with a power cord, and user provides a cord-end plug to fit your receptacle type.
