Peanut Butter Manufacturing Process in Industry

Are you curious about how peanut butter is made in large quantities for mass consumption? Peanut butter is a beloved food item enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. In this article, we will walk you through the peanut butter manufacturing process in an industrial setting.

Raw Materials

The first step in peanut butter production is sourcing the raw materials. Peanuts are the primary ingredient in peanut butter. The peanuts used are usually of the Virginia, Spanish, or Valencia variety. After sourcing, the peanuts are cleaned and sorted to remove any debris, stones, or damaged peanuts.

Roasting

The next step is roasting the peanuts. Roasting enhances the flavor of the peanuts and makes them easier to process. The peanuts are roasted at 150°C for about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the peanuts. Even roasting can be achieved with the continuous peanut roaster. Different roasting time and temperature will cause differences in the consistency and fluidity of the finished peanut butter.

Cooling and Blanching

After roasting, the peanuts are cooled and blanched. The cooling process is done to bring down the temperature of the peanuts. Blanched peanuts are peanuts that have had their skin removed. Removing the skin from peanuts results in a smoother and creamier texture.

Grinding

The peanuts are then grounded into a paste. The grinding process can take up to 30 minutes, depending on the required smoothness of the peanut butter. The grounded paste is then transferred to a mixing tank.

Mixing

In the mixing tank, sugar, salt, and other additives are added to the peanut paste. The mixture is then homogenized to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Thereby producing peanut butter with different flavors. Of course, this step can be omitted if producing natural peanut butter.

Packaging

The final step is packaging the peanut butter. The peanut butter is transferred from the mixing tank to the packaging machine. The packaging machine fills the jars, and the jars are then labeled and packaged for shipment.
