PLC operated Peanut Butter Processing Plant Peanut Butter Production Line Peanut Paste grinding
※Description:
PLC operated Peanut Butter Processing Plant Peanut Butter Production Line Peanut Paste grinding is used to produce peanut butter in factories. It mean factory high-quality equirement for peanut butter production. This peanut butter production line mainly includes a peanut roaster machine, peanut peeling machine, peanut butter grinder and peanut flling machine.
Process of Peanut Butter Production Line
- Raw Material Selection: Select plump peanuts with a milky - white kernel color and a normal flavor. Remove impurities, moldy, worm - eaten, and immature peanuts. High - quality raw materials are the foundation for ensuring the quality of peanut butter.
- Shelling & Sieving: Employ a peanut sheller to remove the outer shells of the peanuts. Then, pass the shelled peanuts through a sieving machine to separate any remaining small impurities or pieces of shell. A vibrating separator can also be used in this step to enhance the separation effect.
- Roasting: Put the shelled and sieved peanuts into a peanut roasting machine. The roasting temperature typically ranges around 200 - 210 ºC, and the roasting time is approximately 20 - 30 minutes. Roasting can bring out the rich flavor of peanuts and also facilitate the subsequent peeling process. The heating source of the roasting machine can be electricity, natural gas, or liquefied gas, and the roasting time, rotation speed, and temperature can be adjusted according to specific requirements.
- Cooling: After roasting, promptly transfer the peanuts to a cooling system. The cooling system can be a cooling belt that utilizes the principle of air - extraction by a fan to cool the roasted peanuts. Rapid cooling helps to fix the flavor and prevent the peanuts from over - heating.
- Peeling: Put the cooled peanuts into a peanut peeling machine. For peanuts with a water content of less than 5%, this machine can achieve a high peeling rate of about 96%. During the peeling process, the red skins of the peanuts are rubbed off by double rollers and then sucked away by a simple cyclone system. The peeled peanuts remain intact without damage, and there is no protein denaturation.
- Sorting: Place the peeled peanuts on a sorting conveyor. Manually or mechanically pick out over - roasted and un - blanched peanut kernels to ensure the quality of the peanut butter raw materials.
- Primary Grinding: Use a steel grinder to conduct the first - stage grinding on the sorted peanuts. This step grinds the peanuts into a relatively coarse paste.
- Secondary Grinding: Use a colloid grinder for the second - stage grinding. Control the fineness of grinding to be below 7 μm and the temperature of grinding to be below 68 °C. This can make the peanut paste more delicate.
- Mixing: If necessary, add ingredients such as sugar, salt, or other flavorings to the ground peanut paste, and then use a mixer to make the peanut butter more homogeneous. For instance, if making a sweet - flavored peanut butter, add an appropriate amount of sucrose.
- Cooling (Again): After mixing, the peanut butter needs to be cooled again to reduce its temperature to around 45 °C. This helps to maintain the stability of the peanut butter's properties.
- Degassing: Put the peanut butter into a degassing tank to remove the air inside. This can prevent the peanut butter from oxidizing and spoiling due to the presence of air during storage.
- Filling: Finally, use a peanut butter filling machine to fill the degassed peanut butter into packaging containers, such as bottles or jars. Ensure that the filling volume is accurate and the packaging is tight to facilitate storage and transportation.
Advantages of Peanut Butter Production Line
- High - efficiency Production
-
- Continuous Operation and Rapid Processing: The peanut butter production line adopts a fully automated operation mode. All links from raw material input to finished product output are closely connected, enabling 24 - hour uninterrupted production. For example, a modern medium - sized production line can process several tons of peanut raw materials per hour, with a daily output of dozens of tons, which can quickly meet the large - scale market demand for peanut butter.
-
- Intelligent Production Scheduling: Equipped with an advanced production management system, it can monitor the running status of equipment in real - time, predict equipment maintenance needs, and automatically adjust the production process to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the production line and reduce downtime.
- Stable Product Quality
-
- Precise Process Control: Key parameters in the production process, such as baking temperature, grinding fineness, and mixing ratio, are precisely regulated by an intelligent control system. Take the baking process as an example. The temperature fluctuation can be controlled within ±2°C, ensuring that each batch of peanuts is evenly heated. The roasted peanuts have a rich flavor and are consistent, making the taste and quality of the peanut butter always remain stable.
-
- Strict Quality Inspection System: A strict quality inspection standard is established from the raw material procurement stage. Each batch of peanuts has to go through multiple tests, including pesticide residues, aflatoxin and other indicators. During the production process, real - time inspections are also carried out on semi - finished products and finished products. For example, the particle fineness of peanut butter is detected by a laser particle size analyzer to ensure that the product quality meets the standards.
- Cost Control
-
- Economies of Scale Advantage: Large - scale production significantly reduces the cost per unit product. On the one hand, large - quantity procurement of peanut raw materials can obtain more favorable prices, reducing procurement costs; on the other hand, the efficient operation of equipment and the improvement of production efficiency spread the fixed costs such as equipment depreciation and energy consumption. According to statistics, the cost of peanut butter produced on a large scale can be 20% - 30% lower than that produced in small workshops.
-
- Manpower Cost Optimization: The automated production line reduces the dependence on a large number of labor forces, not only reducing labor costs but also reducing product quality problems and low production efficiency caused by differences in manual operations. Compared with traditional manual production, labor costs can be reduced by more than 50%.
- Flexible Production Adjustment
-
- Product Customization: It can quickly adjust the formula of peanut butter according to market demand and consumer preferences. For example, for the fitness population, low - sugar and high - protein peanut butter can be launched; for the children's market, fruit flavors or chocolate flavors can be added. By adjusting the formula, the needs of different consumer groups can be met, and the market share can be expanded.
-
- Dynamic Capacity Adjustment: With the help of an advanced equipment control system, the production capacity of the production line can be flexibly adjusted according to the peak and off - peak seasons of market demand. In the peak season, the production speed is increased by optimizing the equipment operation parameters to meet the market demand; in the off - peak season, the production volume is appropriately reduced to avoid inventory backlogs and waste of resources.
- Hygiene and Safety Assurance
-
- Fully Enclosed Aseptic Production Environment: The production line adopts a fully enclosed design, and the internal environment has undergone strict purification treatment. The air filtration system can effectively remove microorganisms and dust particles in the air, ensuring that the production process is carried out in an aseptic environment, greatly reducing the risk of product contamination by microorganisms.
-
- Strict Food Safety Standards: The production equipment and processes comply with international food safety standards, such as the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system. From the selection and storage of raw materials, to every link in the production process, and then to the packaging and transportation of products, food safety regulations are strictly followed to ensure the safety of consumers.
