peanut butter production line

The large peanut butter production line includes semi-automatic and automatic production lines. They both use automatic machines, and the main difference is the roasting part, the cooling part, the mixing part, and the packaging part.

The output is 50kg/h-2000kg/h. Customers could make specific requests according to their demands.

Semi-automatic peanut butter production Line

The semi-automatic peanut butter production line mainly consists of a roasting machine, conveyor belt, cooling belt, half-grain machine, selection belt, storage bin, refiner, storage tank, mixing tank, vacuum tube, storage tube, and other machines.

The semi-automatic peanut processing plant meets the high-yield, automated production and filling requirements of large-scale peanut butter manufacturing plants.

Peanut roaster machine

cocoa bean roasting machine
  • Power:3.3kw
  • Capacity:300-500kg/h, 500-1000kg/h
  • Heating temperature:160-180℃
  • Size:3000*3300*1700
  • Voltage:380v
  • Electric heating power:45kw
  • Gas consumption:6-9kg
  • Weight:2000kg

This peanut roaster is a three-barrel, five-barrel, or more-barrel peanut roaster; it has three barrels, five barrels, or more to roast peanuts at the same time. The production output of each barrel is about 100kg/h.

Therefore, the number of baking barrels can increase to upgrade production. After roasting, the machine automatically dumps the peanuts onto the conveyor belt before the roasting machine. The conveyor belt directly conveys the roasted peanuts to the cooling belt for cooling.

Cooling belt

cooling belt
  • Power:5.6kw
  • Size:6000*1200*1600mm
  • Weight:600kg

The cooling belt is an inclined cooling belt that can adjust the inclined arc to meet the requirements of machines of different heights. The cooling zone is mainly driven by a motor to drive a fan to cool the roasted peanuts.

The distance between the two fans can be customized, and the distance between the fan and the conveyor belt can be adjusted.

Peanut peeling machine

peanut peeling machine
  • Main engine power: 1.5kw
  • Fan power: 1.5kw
  • Output: 1000kg/h
  • Size: 1900x800x1350
  • Voltage: 380V
  • Frequency: 50Hz

A peanut half-grain machine is a professional machine for removing peanut skins. It can separate the peanuts into even halves, and remove the peanut embryo while removing the red skin of the peanuts.

It has a high degree of automation, and its peeling rate is high, which is very suitable for the peanut peeling work in the automatic peanut butter processing machine. The peeler has three rollers, which can be replaced once every three years. The peeling machine also has two layers of vibrating screens.

Picking line

  • Power:0.75kw
  • Size:6000*800*1000mm
  • Weight:400kg

The selection belt is especially for the selection of spoiled peanuts. The length and width of the machine can be customized according to customer needs.

Hoist

  • Power:0.75kw
  • Size:1000*500*3400mm
  • Weight:200kg

The hoist is a Z-shaped hoist. The roasted peanuts are selected and brought into the elevator. The peanuts enter the storage bin with the hoist. This elevator is widely used in large-scale food production lines. It can customize the length and width.

Storage Bin

  • Power:0.05kw
  • Size: 1200*1200*3000 mm (Customization available)
  • Weight:100kg

A large-scale peanut butter production plant needs a storage bin to store a large amount of raw peanuts. The storage bin can quantitatively transport peanuts out into the sauce grinder.

Combined peanut butter maker machine

Unlike the small peanut butter production line, this large peanut butter processing plant uses a combined peanut butter grinder to grind peanuts twice. According to the customer’s requirements for grinding fineness, we mainly have two grinding butter parts.

Using this combined butter mill, it can grind peanuts twice. After grinding with a nut butter grinder, it can reach a finer fineness. The temperature of peanut butter made by the machine is between 80-85℃. And the hot butter needs to cool to 50-60℃ before filling into bottles.

After finishing the operation, the grinder could be cleaned with oil. The wearing part of the machine is the triangle belt, stator, and rotor. The output of the machine is 200kg/h.

Peanut butter storage tank

peanut butter storage tank
  • Size: 1000x1000x800 mm (Customization available)
  • Weight:50kg

To facilitate the storage of peanut butter and subsequent process operations, we need a storage tank to store peanut butter. The storage capacity of this storage tank is determined by the size of the machine. We have a variety of storage tanks with different capacities.

Mixing tank

mixing machine in peanut butter production line
  • Power:3kw
  • Size: 900x900x2000 mm (Customization available)
  • Weight:180kg

The peanut butter in the storage tank enters the mixing tank directly through the pipeline. The stirring tank keeps stirring the peanut butter to maintain the fluidity of the peanut butter and cool the butter to an appropriate temperature.

In the automatic peanut butter production line, the peanut butter enters each machine from the pipeline from the step of grinding peanuts.

It minimizes the contact of peanut butter with air. In addition, customers can also add condiments to the peanut butter mixing tank according to their own needs to make peanut butter with different flavors.

Vacuum tank

vacuum tank in peanut butter processing line
  • Power:3+1.5kw
  • Size: 900x900x2500 mm (Customization available)
  • Weight:260kg

There is more or less air in the peanut butter in the mixing tank. Before packaging, the air in the peanut butter needs to be evacuated with a vacuum tank. The vacuum tank will extract the air from the peanut butter to the maximum extent to extend the shelf life of the peanut butter.

Storage tank

The peanut butter that has been vacuumed in the vacuum tank can be filled with a filling machine. The storage tank is mainly used to link the vacuum tank and the filling machine. It can be filled directly from the vacuum tank into the filling machine to avoid air pollution of the peanut butter before filling.

Automatic peanut butter production line

The automatic peanut butter processing line mainly consists of a conveyor belt tunnel oven, half-grain machine, selection belt, storage bin, refiner, storage tank, mixing tank, vacuum tube, storage tube, and other machines.

The automatic peanut butter production line has basically the same production steps as the semi-automatic production line. The differences are the roasting and cooling machine and the peanut butter filling machine.

There is a continuous chain plate oven with a cooling part and a butter filling machine.

The continuous chain plate oven

The conveyor belt tunnel oven includes the roasting part and the cooling part.

Working principle of conveyor belt tunnel oven

Roasting: through the work of the heating tube and heating machine, there will be heat circulation inside the baking oven. The large-scale baking oven applies to a chain plate as the conveyor belt. So peanuts could be roasted fully and have a better taste.

Customers could also choose a mesh belt tunnel oven. In the control panel, the current temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SV).

Cooling: turn on the cooling machine; there is a fan machine to form the natural wind.

Machine parameter

  • Heating temperature: 180-200℃
  • Material thickness: 5-6cm
  • Length: 8m (save space)
  • Output: 500kg (allow customization)
  • Heating method: electricity, gas

It is worth noting that this chain-type baking machine is equipped with an independent fire suppression system and a Siemens PLC control cabinet.

Peanut butter filling machine

The fully automatic peanut butter filling machine is the critical end-of-line equipment in peanut butter production lines, specifically designed for automated, precise filling of high-viscosity sauces. It accurately, hygienically, and rapidly fills sauces into various bottles and jars.

Butter filling machine working principle

This machine employs an advanced piston-type volumetric filling principle, featuring a streamlined and precise workflow:

Material suction process: a servo motor or pneumatic cylinder drives the piston backward, creating negative pressure within the filling cylinder. This draws peanut butter from the hopper into the metering cylinder.

Pushing process: the piston moves forward, precisely pushing the pre-set volume of peanut butter from the metering cylinder through the filling nozzle into the container below.

A sealing machine, capping machine, and inkjet printer can be connected to the rear of the peanut butter filling machine. This forms a highly efficient, fully automated peanut butter production line.
