Stone Rotation Mechanism: A New Standard for Reliability and Hygiene

Stone Rotation Mechanism: A New Standard for Reliability and Hygiene in KADZAMA Melangers

In bean-to-bar chocolate and nut paste production, every element of your equipment impacts the quality, consistency, and efficiency of your final product. One of the most overlooked yet critical components in a melanger is the stone rotation mechanism—a feature that directly affects grinding performance, machine reliability, and hygiene standards.

At KADZAMA, we understand that this mechanism is not just about movement—it directly influences both the operational reliability of your melanger and the hygiene standards that are paramount in food production.

Why the Stone Rotation Mechanism Matters

The stone rotation mechanism ensures that the grinding stones move consistently and evenly, which is essential for achieving a uniform texture in your chocolate or nut paste.

A well-designed system provides:

• Even grinding – ensuring uniform particle size and preventing rough textures.
• Reliable operation – keeping the machine running continuously during long production cycles.
• Reduced maintenance needs – minimizing downtime and labor costs.

If the stone rotation is uneven or unreliable, the grinding process becomes inconsistent, leading to fluctuations in texture, poor viscosity control, and reduced product quality. For both artisanal chocolatiers and industrial-scale manufacturers, a stable and efficient stone rotation system is essential.

Enhancing Hygiene: The KADZAMA Advantage

Hygiene is a key factor in high-quality chocolate production. One of the most common contamination risks in traditional melangers comes from lubricated metal bearings.

Many traditional melangers use bearings that require regular lubrication to function properly. While effective in ensuring smooth operation, these lubricated bearings carry a significant risk: the possibility of oil or grease contaminating the product.

KADZAMA’s Lubrication-Free Solution: Thermoplastic Bushings

At KADZAMA, we have eliminated the need for lubrication entirely by using wear-resistant thermoplastic bushings in the stone rotation mechanism.

• No grease or oil needed – Zero risk of contamination.
• Minimal maintenance – No need for regular lubrication, reducing labor costs.
• Extended durability – Designed for long-term, high-intensity operation without performance loss.

By removing the weak points of traditional bearing systems, we ensure higher hygiene standards and lower operational costs.

Reduced Maintenance: Streamlining Your Production Process

Maintenance is a critical aspect of any industrial equipment, impacting both production efficiency and operating costs. Traditional bearings that require regular lubrication demand frequent maintenance checks and can contribute to higher long-term expenses.

KADZAMA’s use of thermoplastic bushings means that our stone rotation mechanism requires minimal maintenance. Since these bushings do not need lubrication, you eliminate one of the most common points of failure in melanger systems.

Fewer maintenance tasks translate into:

• Reduced labor costs
• Lower risk of operational disruptions
• More reliable production process

This streamlined approach means you can focus more on creating exceptional chocolate and nut pastes rather than on equipment upkeep.
