A butter production line is a standardized set of dairy processing equipment. It is an automated production system that uses raw milk or cream as raw materials and separates and aggregates milk fat into finished butter through processes such as physical separation, sterilization, maturation, stirring and pressing.
Key Components of the Industrial Butter Production Line
| MACHINE | FUNCTION |
| Sterilization Tank | Sterilization |
| Milk Pump | Conveying materials |
| Refrigeration Tank | Keep light cream at a low temperature to preserve its freshness. |
| Rotary Pump | Perform material suction and feeding |
| Butter Pounding Machine | Stirring cream |
| Butter Extruder | Press the butter into solid butter. |

How does the Butter Production Line Work?
- Raw Material Testing: Receive, filter, and standardize raw materials to ensure their purity and fat content meet standards.
- Cleaning and Impurity Removal: Through filtration, centrifugation, etc., removes impurities, foreign objects, and harmful microorganisms in raw materials, thus purifying the raw materials.
- Sterilization: Initially, sterilize the raw materials using processes such as pasteurization to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and ensure food safety.
- Emulsification by Stirring: The standardized raw materials are thoroughly stirred and emulsified to disperse the fat globules evenly and form a stable emulsion, laying the foundation for subsequent lipid formation.
- Pasteurization: The emulsified liquid undergoes strict pasteurization to completely kill pathogens while preserving the natural flavor and nutrients of the butter to the greatest extent.
- Homogenization and Cooling: The homogenization process refines the fat particles, and then the fat rapidly cool to the temperature required by the process, which promotes fat crystallization and creates conditions for the oil-smashing process.
- Filling and Sealing: The processed semi-finished butter is filled into containers according to preset specifications using automated equipment, and then sealed.
- Labeling Quality Inspection: Labeling products (marking production date, shelf life, specifications, etc.) and conducting random quality inspections on appearance, sealing, etc.
- Finished Product Warehousing: Store the qualified finished butter products in low-temperature cold storage or ship directly to the market, with the entire cold chain ensuring product freshness and transportation.
Features of the Automatic Butter Production Line
- Stainless Steel Material: All parts that come into contact with materials are made of SUS304, which meets food-grade standards, is easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, safe and odorless.
- High Degree of Automation: The production line has button-type electrical control, frequency conversion speed regulation, quantitative conveying, one-button start and stop, and one person can operate, saving labor and ensuring stable production capacity.
- Precise Temperature Control System: The butter production line adopts a three-layer insulated sterilization tank and a refrigeration tank for dual temperature control, which ensures thorough sterilization and uniform cooling, and guarantees consistent flavor and texture of butter.
Advantages of the Commercial Butter Production Line
- High Oil Yield: The combination of a special oil-throwing machine and an extruder produces butter with fine particles, a firm texture, and thorough whey separation, resulting in a high yield.
- Quick Return on Investment: Utilizing a semi-automatic configuration with no redundant functions, the butter production line requires minimal investment and offers a fast return on investment, making it suitable for small to medium-sized butter processing projects.
- Comprehensive After-sales Service: We offer a 1-year warranty on the entire machine, 24/7 response time, and lifetime cost-based repair.
FAQ
Our production line is compatible with the production of various butter products, including: plain butter, salted or unsalted butter, fermented butter, and anhydrous butter. We can customize process parameters according to your formula and product requirements.
The oil yield of a butter production line depends on the fat content of the raw cream. For example, with cream containing 35%-40% fat, the oil yield can reach 80%-85%, resulting in thorough whey separation, high butter yield, and low loss.
Our equipment features an energy-saving design, equipped with high-efficiency sterilization tanks, refrigeration units, and a variable frequency control system. Compared with traditional equipment, it reduces energy consumption by 15%-20%, and can effectively reduce operating costs in the long run.
Our equipment uses a silent motor and vibration reduction design, and the operating noise is controlled within 75 decibels, which meets the industrial production noise standards and will not affect the workshop environment or operators.
