1. Overview
The Peanut Butter Production Line is a fully automatic processing system designed for the continuous production of smooth, crunchy, and flavored peanut butter.
It integrates roasting, peeling, grinding, mixing, homogenizing, cooling, and filling into one streamlined line, ensuring consistent quality, hygiene, and high efficiency.
This line is suitable for food factories, nut processing plants, and condiment manufacturers that require high productivity, stable operation, and compliance with food safety standards.

2. Process Flow
Raw Peanut Feeding
Clean peanuts are loaded into the system for automatic continuous processing.Roasting
Peanuts are evenly roasted using hot air or rotary drum roasters to develop aroma and flavor.Cooling & Peeling
Rapid cooling ensures crisp texture; skin is removed efficiently by air friction or roller peeling.Grinding (Primary & Fine)
Two-stage colloid mills grind peanuts into fine paste, achieving a particle size of 50–70 microns.Mixing & Homogenizing
Sugar, salt, oil, or stabilizers are added and mixed evenly; homogenizer ensures smooth texture.Cooling
Paste is cooled to a stable temperature to maintain flavor and consistency.Filling & Packaging
The finished peanut butter is filled into jars, bottles, or pouches using precise servo-driven fillers.
