A colloid mill acts effectively as a nuts grinder once nuts have been roughly crushed, turning almonds, cashews or similar kernels into smooth nut butter or paste through repeated shear passes, while releasing natural oils that aid emulsification. For whole, unbroken nuts a coarse pre-grinder is usually needed first, after which the colloid mill handles the fine nut grinding stage to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
