Peanut butter making machine from China

Most listings sell a colloid mill, not a line, and two makers rate the same mill size up to twice apart, so the figure rests on a paste and fineness nobody states.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Rotor and stator

Material, hardness and gap adjustment set fineness and wear. Ask the replacement interval and price of the grinding set.

Cooling jacket

Paste heats as it is sheared, and hot paste separates oil in the jar. Ask for a water jacket and outlet temperature.

One or two stages

Coarse then fine grinding gives smoother paste at the stated output than one pass through one mill.

What else the line needs

Roaster, peeler, cooler, mixer, deaerator and filler are separate machines. A mill price is not a line price.

Decode the model code.

One maker says the JMS number is rotor diameter in mm. Capacity is not encoded.

JMS-130: 300 to 500 kg/h from one maker, 200 to 300 kg/h from another, both 11 kW.
JMS-180: 700 to 800 against 300 to 500 kg/h, both 18.5 kW.

Before you ask for a price.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

Nut type, roast level and whether skins are removed.
Target fineness in microns, not mesh.
Paste per hour and shifts.
Additives: salt, sugar, oil, stabiliser.
Jar or bucket format for filling.

Require this	A pass looks like
Your roasted nuts through the mill for one hour.	Output per hour at the quoted rate at your fineness.
Fineness gauge on samples at start and end.	Within your micron limit throughout.
Paste temperature at the outlet.	Below the limit at which your paste separates oil.

The documents that must arrive with it.

Declaration of Conformity under 2006/42/EC or, from 20 January 2027, Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 declaration for rotor, stator, hopper and seals.
Material certificates for stainless contact parts.

The one people forget. The seal material declaration, since the mechanical seal touches the paste and is often left off food-contact papers.

When this is the wrong machine.

Buy something else if

Named, not hedged

You need very fine spreads or fillings for chocolate.

A ball mill or refiner, which grinds finer than a colloid mill.

Your product is a pourable sauce.

A sauce processing line with cooking and homogenising.

Straight answers

Questions buyers ask about this machine.

Chinese vs European peanut butter making machine: what differs?+

Colloid mills look alike. Grinding set hardness, seal quality and cooling differ, and they decide wear and oil separation.

What goes on a peanut butter machine inspection checklist?+

Rotor diameter against contract, motor make and power, cooling jacket, seal type, and one run with your nuts measured for fineness.

What CE documentation does a peanut butter making machine need?+

A Declaration of Conformity for the serial number and food-contact declarations for every part the paste touches.

Who is the EU importer of a peanut butter making machine?+

Normally the buyer who orders direct: named on the machine or papers, and responsible for checking the file.
