PROCESSING OF PEANUT BUTTER PLANT

Peanut butter is a food paste or spread made from ground, dry-roasted peanuts. It commonly contains additional ingredients that modify the taste or texture, such as salt, sweeteners, or emulsifiers. It is widely used as a spread in all over the world.

PROCESSING OF PEANUT BUTTER PLANT

To make your everyday peanut butter, peanuts are harvested, shelled, roasted, blanched, and grinded up into a delicious creamy paste.

The Process takes the following steps:

  • During harvesting, peanuts are removed are delivered to warehouses for cleaning where blowers remove dust, sand, vines, stems, leaves, and empty shells.
  • After this, Shelling takes place in which the outer covering of nuts has been removed. After shelling, the peanuts are graded for size, color, defects, and broken skins. The peanuts with defects are discarded while the healthy ones are packaged and ready for processing.
  • Then, Dry Roasting takes place in which the peanuts travel through a hot air roaster, in a continuous motion to roast evenly. After this process, the color of the peanuts change from white to light brown.
  • Then, Cooling Process takes place rapidly to stop the cooking process. For cooling to occur, the hot peanuts are passed directly from the roaster to a perforated metal cylinder to a temperature of around 30 degree Celsius, where a large volume of air is pulled through by suction fans. 
  • Then, Blanching takes place in which the remaining outer skins of the peanuts are removed by rubbing them through rubber belts. Finally, the blanched nuts are mechanically screened and inspected on a conveyor belt to remove scorched or rotten nuts.
  • After that, Grinding takes place in which the peanuts are grinded and a paste is made by adding other ingredients. This first reduces the nuts to a medium grind, and then to a fine, smooth texture.
  • Grinding causes the temperature of the peanut butter to go up to 60 degrees Celsius. For this reason, the paste would have to be cooled to 38 degrees Celsius after mixing. Throughout the grinding process, peanuts are kept under constant pressure to prevent the formation of air bubbles, which could cause oxidation.
  • Furthermore, after grinding, the peanut butter is considered de-aerated, stabilized, and ready for packaging.

THE PROBLEMS OF PEANUT BUTTER GRINDER MACHINE:

  • Unable to make smooth paste.
  • Uneven size of particles.
  • Unstable emulsion.

The Solution of Peanut Butter Plant

But , not to worry at all because Hindu Engineers have made your task so easy by making the most beneficial and durable equipments so that you can complete your work 10 times faster and easier than before.

As you all know, flexibility is very important in all aspects of our life. Thus, by keeping this thought in our mind, we have made all our products in that way which are able to handle different ingredients, textures, capacities as well as frequent product changes without any of the delays. 

Hence, Hindu Engineers offers you a wide range of machines to master these challenges for efficient production of ketchup and sauce processing lines.

Hindustan Engineers works on the problems which you were facing in manufacturing peanut butter. We have  made each solution custom and designed as per the steps and automation described by the end user.

Multiprocessor:

We have found an ultimate solution for excellent grinding. It works on the principle of shear force.  It comprises of a rotor-stator mechanism in wherein the rotor rotates at a high rpm of about 9,600 rpm while the stator is designed to have finer slots to achieve super fine paste in a single pass which ensures a smooth texture of the paste in lesser time.

4th Stage inline homogenizer:

It is used for creating smooth and fine texture during second grinding of nuts with other ingredients for formulation of stable emulsion. It comprises of four stages of rotor and stator concentrically mounted in a housing with decreasing slot size in radially outward direction, which helps in the homogenization and is four times more efficient than a conventional homogenizer as the material passes through four sets of rotor and stator in a single pass.
The exceptionally rapid Hindu Homogenizers mixing action substantially reduces process time compared with conventional agitator and mixer and can reduce mixing time by up to 90%.

Our motto is to provide Low Cost and High-Quality Products/Equipment to customers keeping in mind Low Maintenance, Low Power Consumption, High Performance, Durability and Ease of Operation in Shortest Time.
