Description
A peanut butter production line is a complete processing system used to convert raw peanuts into smooth or crunchy peanut butter. It typically includes roasting, cooling, peeling, grinding, and mixing processes.
At Fuxun Machinery, we don’t just sell individual machines —we design complete peanut butter production lines that help manufacturers produce stable peanut butter from day one. We offer a range of equipment, including peanut roasters, peeling machines, colloid grinders, storage tanks, and mixing tanks, with different capacities and automation levels.
Our production line is ideal for:
- Peanut butter startups planning 100-500 kg/h production;
- Medium factories (300-600 kg/h) upgrading from semi- or manual processing
- Industrial manufacturers requiring 1-3 tons/hour continuous output
- Producers of smooth or crunchy peanut butter, as well as tahini, almond butter, and other nut pastes.
Production Capacity & Configuration
- Processing Capacity: 100 kg/h – 3,000 kg/h
- Production Mode: Batch or Continuous
- Automation Level: Semi-automatic to fully automatic
- Customization: Layout, capacity, material, process flow, and equipment tailored to your factory.
👉 You don’t need to adapt your factory to our machines. We design the whole peanut butter production line to fit your space, budget, and production goals.
Peanut Butter Production Process
Fusion Machinery has rich experience in offering peanut processing equipment. Here let’s overview each stage of the peanut butter making process.
- Peanut Roasting: Roasting is crucial for enhancing the flavor and aroma of peanuts. However, if roasted improperly, peanuts can become too bitter or overcooked. Therefore, it is essential to control the temperature carefully.
- Cooling: After roasting, peanuts need to be rapidly cooled to preserve their quality and prepare them for peeling. The cooling process prevents overcooking and stabilizes the peanut’s texture.
- Peeling: This step involves removing the peanut skins to ensure a smooth texture and high-quality peanut butter.
- Grinding: Once peeled, the peanuts are ground into a smooth paste. The grinding process is critical for making peanut butter.
- Mixing: After grinding, the peanut paste is mixed with other ingredients, such as oil, salt, and sometimes sugar, to enhance flavor and texture.
- Cooling & Degassing: Improves stability and shelf life of the peanut butter.
👉 Note: Not every customer needs all steps. The production line can be simplified or expanded based on your actual requirements.
