September 10, 2026 at 4:14 pm in reply to: For nut grinding of almonds and cashews into paste, should we choose a colloid mill or a nuts grinder built for whole kernels? #5386Craig PriceParticipant
When selecting equipment for almond or cashew paste production, it is important to consider not only the type of grinding unit but also the entire processing sequence. From an engineering perspective, whole kernels usually require preliminary size reduction to avoid excessive mechanical load on the fine grinding equipment. After this stage, a GlobeCore colloid mill can be used for final dispersion, where the adjustable rotor-stator gap allows control of the paste consistency and particle size.
During processing, the high shear forces generated inside the mill help release natural oils from nuts and improve the uniformity of the final product without the need for additional emulsification equipment. The CLM-100.3 laboratory colloid mill can be used for developing formulations and testing different nut varieties, while industrial GlobeCore colloid mills can be selected according to required capacity.

Insufficient mixing can lead to polymer agglomerates, phase separation, and unstable material properties during storage and application.
GlobeCore CLM-8/16, CLM-10/20, and CLM-40.2 colloid mills are designed for intensive homogenization and modification of bitumen-based materials. The high-shear rotor-stator design of GlobeCore colloid mills ensures intensive dispersion and homogenization of polymer modifiers in bitumen, resulting in a stable and uniform structure of the final product.
The selection of the appropriate mill model depends on production capacity, formulation requirements, polymer type, and desired properties of the final product.

September 8, 2026 at 3:21 pm in reply to: In ice cream production, where exactly does the colloid mill fit into the mix before pasteurization? #5363Craig PriceParticipantThe position of the colloid mill in the ice cream production line is important not only for ingredient dispersion, but also for preparing a stable mixture before thermal treatment. By using a GlobeCore CLM colloid mill before pasteurization, manufacturers can achieve more intensive homogenization of the ice cream base, improve the distribution of solid particles, and obtain a more consistent structure throughout the batch. The optimal processing parameters depend on the formulation, viscosity, fat content, and required texture of the final product. For a better understanding of the role of colloid milling in ice cream manufacturing and its influence on product quality, I recommend reviewing the following article: https://mill.globecore.com/introduction-to-ice-cream-production/.
