Can Melangers Be Used for Products Other Than Chocolate?

Melangers are often seen as indispensable tools for artisanal chocolate making, but their utility extends far beyond that. Thanks to their robust design and durable stone grinding wheels, melangers can handle a variety of ingredients, making them incredibly versatile for small-scale producers and businesses. Let’s explore the diverse applications of melangers and discover how they can expand your production possibilities.

The Technology Behind Melangers

At their core, melangers are mills equipped with stone grinding wheels designed for fine grinding, mixing, and blending. This ancient technology has been refined over centuries, from large wind- or water-powered mills to the compact, electric-powered machines we use today. Modern melangers, like those from KADZAMA, come with features like adjustable speed settings, reverse rotation, and quick-release designs, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

What Can You Make in a Melanger?

A melanger is not limited to chocolate; it can be used for nearly any product that requires grinding, mixing, or blending. Here are some examples:

Nut-Based Products:
  • Nut Butters: Almond, hazelnut, or peanut butter.
  • Nut Pastes: Pistachio, cashew, or hazelnut pastes, often used in confectionery and pastries.
  • Tahini (Sesame Paste): Smooth and creamy sesame-based paste.
Spreads and Fillings:
  • Chocolate spreads with sugar or liquid sweeteners.
  • Nut-chocolate spreads for confectionery or pastries.
  • Fat-based fillings for bars or bonbons.
Seed and Grain Pastes:
  • Urbec: Traditional seed or nut pastes like flaxseed, apricot seed, pumpkin seed, hemp, or coconut urbec.
  • Plant-Based Milk: Grinding nuts and seeds for almond, cashew, or oat milk.
Specialty Chocolate Varieties:
  • Dark, milk, white, and vegan chocolates.
  • Fruit or berry-based chocolates.
  • Honey-sweetened chocolate or those with sugar substitutes.
  • Chocolate enriched with vitamins, proteins, or other health-focused additives.
Other Food Applications:
  • Praline: A smooth mixture of nuts and caramelized sugar, ideal for confections.
  • Cocoa Mass: Grinding cocoa nibs into a refined paste.
  • Sauces and Toppings: For desserts, pastries, or savory dishes.
  • Hummus: A smooth blend of chickpeas and tahini.
  • Plant-Based Fats and Spreads: Such as coconut butter or seed-based pastes.

The KADZAMA Advantage: Durable Design and Versatility

What sets melangers apart for these diverse uses is their durable design:

  • Granite Stones: Capable of grinding tough ingredients like nuts, seeds, and grains into smooth pastes.

  • Diagonal grooved stones: Found in KADZAMA melangers , these grooves enhance efficiency by accelerating the grinding process and achieving uniform textures.

  • Versatile Sizes: From smaller models like the 7 kg melanger for test batches to larger machines for higher production volumes.

While melangers excel at grinding products with natural fats, such as nuts or seeds, care should be taken when working with dry ingredients, as these can increase friction and wear on the stones. Adding a small amount of oil can help reduce wear and extend the machine’s lifespan.

Why Choose a Melanger for Versatile Production?

If you’re considering expanding your product range, a melanger can be your go-to solution:

  • Flexibility: Seamlessly switch between products with quick cleaning times (20–30 minutes for KADZAMA melangers).

  • Precision: Achieve consistent textures for products like nut butters, spreads, and pastes.

  • Efficiency: Combine grinding and mixing in one device, saving time and reducing the need for multiple machines.

A Perfect Pairing: Nut Pastes and Melangers

Looking to venture into nut-based products? KADZAMA melangers are ideal for creating smooth and creamy pastes, whether it’s pistachio filling for pastries, tahini for sauces, or almond butter for spreads. Their robust design ensures excellent results, even for tougher ingredients.
