Peanut Butter Production System - Stainless Steel, Semi-automatic, High Efficiency | Good Quality, Low Energy Consumption, Multi-stage Grinding

A peanut butter making plant is a facility that processes raw peanuts into creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Here's a general description of the plant's operations:

Receiving and Storage:
- Raw peanuts are received and stored in silos or warehouses.
- Peanuts are cleaned and dried to remove impurities and excess moisture.

Roasting:
- Peanuts are roasted in large batches to enhance flavor and aroma.
- Roasting temperature and time are carefully controlled to prevent burning.

Grinding:
- Roasted peanuts are cooled and then ground into a fine paste using grinding machines.
- The grinding process involves multiple stages to achieve the desired consistency.

Mixing:
- Salt, sugar, and other ingredients (if desired) are added to the peanut paste.
- The mixture is blended to ensure uniform flavor and texture.

Heat Treatment:
- The peanut butter mixture is heated to a temperature of around 160A F (71A C) to:
- Improve smoothness
- Extend shelf life
- Reduce oil separation

Cooling and Packaging:
- Peanut butter is cooled to around 80A F (27A C) to prevent oil separation.
- The cooled peanut butter is filled into jars, tubs, or other containers for distribution.
- Packaging is designed to prevent contamination and preserve freshness.

Quality Control:
- Samples are taken at various stages to ensure quality and consistency.
- Taste, texture, and appearance are evaluated to meet standards.

Cleaning and Sanitation:
- The plant follows strict cleaning and sanitation protocols to prevent contamination.
- Equipment and surfaces are regularly cleaned and sanitized to ensure food safety.
