Roasted Nuts Chopping Machine BCM400
The BCM400 roasted nuts chopping machine is designed for controlled size reduction of whole roasted nuts into calibrated granules for chocolate, confectionery, bakery, and nut-based product manufacturing. The system uses a two-stage cutting process (pre-crushing + guillotine cutting) to produce uniform granules while minimizing oil release and fine particle generation.
Unlike grinding systems that compress high-fat materials, the BCM400 uses precision cutting to preserve nut structure and maintain free-flowing granules. The machine is suitable for processing roasted peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, and similar dried food products.
The integrated vibratory sieve classification system separates the chopped product into four defined size fractions. The classified output can be used directly in chocolate inclusions, confectionery fillings, bakery toppings, or as a pre-processing stage before ball mill refining for praline and nut paste production.

Two-stage cutting system for controlled nut granulation
Pre-crushing section
Whole roasted nuts are introduced into the stainless steel feed reservoir, where the pre-crushing mechanism conditions the product for stable feeding into the guillotine cutting unit and improves overall cutting efficiency. Pre-crushing reduces mechanical load on the cutting knives and helps limit dust formation.
Guillotine cutting section
The pre-crushed product enters the guillotine cutting unit equipped with 8–10 hardened stainless steel knives. The guillotine cutting mechanism provides precise size reduction by slicing the product without compressing it. This cutting method helps prevent smearing when processing high-oil roasted nuts and keeps granules free-flowing for downstream handling.
Process advantages include:
Vibratory classification system for calibrated output
After cutting, the product is transferred to the integrated vibratory sieve conveyor. The vibration separates nut granules into four defined size fractions. Operators can select the appropriate granule size for chocolate inclusions, confectionery processing, bakery toppings, or further refining. Continuous vibration ensures steady material flow and helps prevent accumulation during operation.
Designed for integration into chocolate and confectionery production lines
The BCM400 is engineered for chocolate and confectionery production environments where reliable feeding and predictable inclusion behavior are required. The machine can be installed downstream of nut roasting, cooling, and peeling systems. The classified nut granules can be transferred directly to chocolate mixers, storage tanks, inclusion feeders, or ball mill refiners depending on process requirements. Consistent granule geometry supports uniform inclusion distribution during chocolate mixing, tempering, molding, and coating operations.
In addition to roasted nuts, the BCM400 can be used for size reduction of biscuits, cookies, and similar dry food products used as inclusions in chocolate, confectionery, and bakery manufacturing.
Related equipment
Chopped nuts produced by the BCM400 can be blended into liquid chocolate using a continuous inclusion mixer. The INM series inclusion mixer uses controlled screw feeding and a jacket-heated mixing tube to distribute nut granules uniformly while maintaining stable chocolate temperature and flow properties. This system provides continuous chocolate with nut inclusions to depositors, molding lines, or coating equipment while supporting consistent inclusion distribution.
