Two grinding principles
Stone grinder or roller refiner?
Both machines work with the same products: pralines, almond and hazelnut pastes, nuts. What changes is the way they grind: everything in a tank with the ARTINIBS, in passes between stone rollers with the RB.
30 kg tank
ARTINIBS stone grinder
Everything is ground in the tank: the granite stones turn continuously and refine the mass down to 22 microns.
Its strength: maximum fineness, with no handling
20–80 kg/h
RB refiner-grinders
The product passes between three stone rollers and falls into a tray: three passes are usually enough to obtain a paste.
Its strength: fast grinding, on demand
Granite stone grinder
ARTINIBS grinder
The ARTINIBS stone grinder processes chocolate, pralines and nut pastes directly in its tank. Its natural granite stones and base slowly grind and conche the mass, for incomparable fineness and texture. It runs continuously for up to 72 hours, quietly.

RB refiner-grinders
The RB refiner-grinder grinds almonds, hazelnuts, pralines, nougatines, walnuts and gianduja. The product goes down between three basalt stone rollers and falls into a tray: you pass it through again, usually three times, to obtain a paste. Ideal for freshly ground homemade almond paste or almond powder.

Frequently asked questions
Grinders and refiners: your questions
What is the difference between a stone grinder and a roller refiner?
The ARTINIBS stone grinder grinds everything in a tank: the granite stones turn continuously and refine the mass down to 22 microns. The RB refiner-grinder grinds in passes: the product goes down between three basalt stone rollers, falls into a tray, and you pass it through again, usually three times, to obtain a paste.
Which machine to make your own chocolate from cocoa beans?
The ARTINIBS stone grinder. Loaded with 30 to 35 kg of cocoa nibs, it grinds and conches the mass on its granite stones. After 24 to 72 hours depending on the cocoa used, you get a fluid, even chocolate with a fineness below 22 microns.
How do you make your own praline or almond paste?
Both machines are suitable, for the same products: only the method changes. With the ARTINIBS, pralines are ground in the tank in about 2 hours. With an RB refiner, almonds and hazelnuts pass between the stone rollers: three passes are usually enough to obtain a paste, a single one for a powder.
What is the capacity of the RB refiner-grinders?
Three models: the RB5 grinds 20 kg/h, the RB6 40 kg/h and the RB8 80 kg/h. They run on 400 V three-phase, from 900 to 2,200 W.
What fineness do you get with the ARTINIBS grinder?
Down to 22 microns. The stone pressure is set manually, which lets you adjust the fineness and texture to the recipe.
How is the ARTINIBS grinder cleaned?
The tank tilts on a rotation system for emptying, then is washed with water. The contact area has no screws or bolts, which avoids any risk of contamination.
