Carob transformation: a delicate and strategic process
Carob is increasingly a major player in the world of natural and functional food, useful in human and animal nutrition. Prized for its nutritional profile, sweet taste and sustainability, it can be processed into micronized flour with high added value. To obtain a superior product, however, requires an extremely precise process that maintains the properties of the fruit and enhances them.
Cimma Morandotti S.p.A. offers tailor-made plants for all crushing, grinding, pulverizing and grading processes, optimized for the food and agrochemical industries.
Key steps in the Cimma process for carob
Grinding and micronization
- Crushing carob in a special hammer mill with grating, designed and built specifically for this purpose, facilitating maintenance, cleaning and ensuring maximum grinding yield. The mill is ideal for initial processing and separation of seeds from pulp.
- Micronization of pod pulp with our mill with integrated classifier to obtain locust bean pulp meal, an excellent food supplement. Our technology ensures precise, controlled and consistent particle size distribution.
The grading system is highly accurate and modular, allowing it to adapt to different production specifications and customer requirements. In addition, constant grain size control supportsefficiency in the subsequent stages of flour packaging and utilization, reducing waste and rework. This level of detail ensures a reliable product that meets the most stringent food and nutraceutical regulations.
Theefficiency of the mills ensure maximum yield by adapting to variations in moisture, hardness, and carob roasting, which can vary with the season and processing.
