It is designed to grind 10-20 kgs (30-45 lbs) of cacao nibs (cocoa nibs / cacau nibs) to yield up to 23 kgs (50 lbs) of 15 micron size chocolate liquor. This economy model has the same stellar performance of ECGC-65E.
Though this is economy model, shell, roller holder shaft, frame, lid are all made of high quality stainless steel. Double roller stones make the grinding process very efficient. Stainless steel wipers are more hygienic and easy to clean. They are more durable than the delrin wipers. Abi 50 grinder come with stainless steel wipers as a standard option. Tilting mechanism helps to remove the chocolate liquor effortlessly. It also helps when cleaning the unit with soap and water.

The deluxe control panel comes with a speed controller, on/off switch, emergency shut-off and on/off pendant on the grinder unit. Control panels convert incoming single phase 220V power into three phase 220V power supply for the motor. Abi 50 with deluxe control panel is $6000.

If you are using for nut butters, you can grind about 45 cups of nuts. Since each nut has a different volume and weight this is only a reference point. The amount you can grind for each variety of nut is slightly different. As a general guideline, to get optimum performance, we suggest that the total ingredients should not cover more than 80% of the roller stone height.
