The butter processing line refers to the production line equipment used for producing butter. A typical butter processing line includes the following main steps:


1. Reception and storage: The butter processing line first needs to receive the raw cream and store it, usually with dedicated milk storage tanks or pools.
2. Separation: Next, the raw cream will undergo a separation process to separate the milk fat and whey, usually achieved through a centrifuge.
3. Preparation and processing: The separated milk fat will be sent to the preparation and processing equipment, which can mix, homogenize, and pasteurize the milk fat to ensure product quality and hygiene safety.
4. Cooling and crystallization: The processed milk fat will be cooled to a specific temperature, promoting the crystallization of the fat, which is a key step in the formation of butter.
5. Stirring and shaping: The crystallized milk fat will be sent to the mixing equipment for stirring, making it a typical taste and appearance of butter. Subsequently, the butter will be fed into the molding machine to form the final product form, such as strips, blocks, etc.

6. Packaging and storage: Finally, the formed butter will be packaged through packaging equipment and then sent to the storage room for delivery to the market or customers.


The butter processing line usually varies depending on the production scale and process requirements, but the above steps are its basic process.


Butter processing line


The butter processing line equipment usually includes the following key parts:

1. Melting and mixing equipment: used to melt solid butter into a liquid state and can be mixed with other ingredients, such as whey protein, table salt, etc.
2. Emulsification equipment: used to combine butter and water to form an emulsion. This step is very important as it affects the texture and taste of butter.
3. Cooling equipment: Quickly cool the emulsified butter to solidify and maintain the desired shape and structure.

4. Packaging equipment: used to package processed butter, which can be quantitative packaging or large container packaging, depending on the demand.


In addition, the automation control system is also an indispensable part of the butter processing line equipment, which can monitor and adjust the entire production process to ensure the quality and production efficiency of butter.


The cost of a butter processing plant depends on multiple factors, including equipment cost, raw material cost, labor cost, energy cost, transportation cost, management cost, etc. Equipment cost may be one of the biggest expenses, including purchasing processing equipment and production lines, storage equipment, etc. The cost of raw materials involves the procurement cost of cream, while labor costs include the wages of operators, technicians, and management personnel, as well as training costs. The energy cost covers the energy consumption of processing equipment, including electricity and fuel. The transportation cost depends on the distance and method of transportation of raw materials and finished products. Management costs include office expenses, marketing costs, etc.


It is worth noting that the cost of butter processing plants is also influenced by factors such as region, scale, and technological level. To gain a detailed understanding of the costs of butter processing plants, specific cost analysis and budget preparation are required.


The butter processing line mainly produces butter and its related products. Butter is a dairy product typically made from milk fat that has been stirred and squeezed. On the butter processing line, various types of butter can be produced, including salted butter, salted butter, organic butter, etc. In addition, butter processing lines can also produce butter related products, such as butter blends, butter substitutes, butter packaging, etc. These products are commonly used in the food processing and catering industries, and are widely used in fields such as baking, cooking, and food manufacturing.


The maintenance and operation of the butter processing line need to follow the following steps:
1. Equipment maintenance:
-Regular cleaning: Regularly clean equipment to ensure the normal operation of the production line. This includes cleaning residues, grease, and other impurities.
-Lubrication: Ensure that the moving parts of the equipment are properly lubricated to reduce wear and friction, and extend the lifespan of the equipment.

-Regular inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment on a regular basis to ensure that all components are in good condition, and promptly identify and repair potential problems.


2. Operation process:
-Familiarity with equipment: Operators need to have a thorough understanding of the various components and functions of the butter processing line to ensure proper operation of the equipment.
-Adjusting parameters: According to production requirements, adjust the parameters of the processing line, such as temperature, pressure, and speed.

-Monitoring production: Continuously monitor the production process to ensure the stable operation of the butter processing line and promptly handle any abnormal situations.


3. Safety precautions:
-Operators need to wear personal protective equipment that meets the standards, such as gloves, safety shoes, and helmets.
-Strictly follow the operating procedures and prohibit unauthorized access or contact with moving parts during equipment operation.

-Conduct regular safety checks on equipment to ensure that safety devices are in good condition and effective.


In short, the maintenance and operation of the butter processing line need to be strictly carried out in accordance with the operating manual and safety regulations to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the production line.
