This line configuration is designed to transform butter production from a batch operation to a continuous, stable, and highly profitable industrial process. With a processing capacity of up to 10,000 liters of cream per hour, this solution focuses on three critical pillars: maximizing fat yield, strict waste control, and packaging flexibility.
The system integrates the physical transformation of matured cream (phase inversion) with versatile end-of-line options, allowing the plant to adapt to retail (bars and tubs) or institutional market demands without sacrificing production cadence.
1. Process Core: Continuous Churning and Vacuum Working — The heart of the line is the Continuous Churning system, which replaces the variability of traditional processes with absolute standardization. The equipment receives matured cream (35-42% fat) and executes phase inversion through high-friction churners and a rotary whey separation drum.
The competitive advantage of this equipment lies in its Vacuum Working section. By eliminating air trapped during the mechanical process, we achieve a butter with dense, uniform texture, drastically reducing lipid oxidation. This translates directly into longer shelf life and superior visual appearance.
Profitability Control: The (optional) moisture control system allows a precision of ±0.10%. This ensures the product always stays at the maximum moisture limit permitted by regulation, maximizing yield per ton of processed fat.
2. End-of-Line Versatility (Packaging Options) — The line offers two output configurations to cover different market segments:
Option A: Bar Format (Retail and Food Service) — This configuration aligns a Rotary Wrapper with a Semi-automatic Boxing Machine.
Precision: Volumetric dosing minimizes product give-away, handling from hotel portions (9 g) to 1 kg blocks.
Automation: The system groups and stacks up to 100 bars per minute, eliminating the manual bottleneck in secondary packaging and reducing operational labor costs.
Option B: Tub Format (Spreads) — For products aimed at the modern consumer who prefers ready-to-serve presentations. The Rotary Filler handles preformed containers (100 g - 1000 g) with a hermetic sealing system. Its sanitary design with UV decontamination and laminar flow guarantees the food safety required for high-turnover supermarket products.
