Why should we adjust the gap between the grinding discs of peanut butter machine?
In the process of using peanut butter machine, adjusting the gap between grinding discs is a very important operation step. The adjustment of the gap between grinding discs directly affects the quality, taste and production efficiency of peanut butter, so it is particularly critical to understand and master the significance of this operation.

The following will explain why it is necessary to adjust the disc gap of peanut butter machine from many angles.
1.Control the fineness of peanut butter.
The gap between grinding discs directly affects the fineness of peanut butter. If the gap is too large, peanut particles can not be fully ground, resulting in rough final products and poor taste; If the gap is too small, it may cause excessive grinding, which will make the product too sticky or hot and affect the taste. Therefore, adjusting the gap between grinding discs according to the actual demand can ensure the peanut butter to achieve the ideal fineness and texture.
2. Improve production efficiency.
The adjustment of the grinding disc gap also directly affects the production efficiency. If the gap is too small, the grinding speed will slow down, resulting in a decline in production efficiency; However, if the gap is too large, peanuts can not be fully ground, which will affect the quality of products. By adjusting the gap reasonably, the production efficiency can be improved and the production cost can be reduced on the premise of ensuring the product quality.
3. Protect the equipment and prolong the service life.
If the clearance between grinding discs is too small, it may lead to the increase of friction when the equipment is running, increase the wear degree of the machine, and even cause equipment failure. Reasonable gap adjustment can effectively reduce the load of equipment and the wear of mechanical parts, thus prolonging the service life of equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

4. Meet the requirements of different formulations.
Different types of peanut butter may have different requirements for particle size. For example, some special peanut butter needs coarse particles, while others need extremely fine texture. By adjusting the gap between grinding discs, it can flexibly adapt to different formulations and process requirements, thus meeting diversified market demands.
5. Avoid peanut butter machine rheating problems.
If the gap between the grinding discs of a peanut butter machine is too small, the frictional heat generated during grinding will increase, which may lead to separation of peanut oil or flavor impairment. Proper adjustment of the gap can reduce overheating and maintain the natural flavor and quality of the product.
In a word, adjusting the gap between the grinding discs of peanut butter grinding machine is an important link to ensure product quality, improve production efficiency and protect equipment. In the process of operation, users should make reasonable adjustments according to the actual needs and machine instructions to achieve the best results.
