Condition frozen or refrigerated blocks and restore optimal product plasticity to guarantee efficient, continuous and waste-free packaging.
Pneumatic cutting system for butter blocks, designed for efficient re‑processing and repackaging
Capacity: up to 4,189 lb/h (1,900 kg/h) | Slice thickness: 0.8–3.5 in (20–90 mm)
The Butter Block Cutter SII‑SLP is a pneumatically driven cutting system designed to reduce butter blocks of 22–55 lb (10–25 kg) into manageable portions for downstream processing. It serves as the critical first step in butter re‑processing and repackaging lines, ensuring stable and continuous feeding of homogenizers, melters, or forming equipment.
The operator manually loads butter blocks—or compatible products such as margarine, cocoa butter, or shea butter—onto the infeed table. The machine uses a high‑force pneumatic cutting mechanism to section blocks with maximum dimensions of 16.5 × 13.4 in (420 × 340 mm) into uniform slices with adjustable thickness.
This controlled size reduction is essential to prevent overloading motors and augers in subsequent processing stages. The SII‑SLP allows safe and fluid handling of butter with core temperatures between 39–50°F (4–10°C), maintaining product integrity while improving overall line efficiency.
By converting frozen or refrigerated bulk blocks into processable portions, the Butter Block Cutter minimizes mechanical stress, stabilizes product flow, and supports uninterrupted industrial operation.
