Peanut Butter Production
Improve your peanut butter production line with machinery and process solutions from Premier Forrester.
Peanut butter might sound simple to make, but when it comes to manufacturing it at scale, the process needs strict supervision and the right equipment.
Roasting, particle size and emulsification all need tight controls to deliver a stable flavour, the right texture and a long shelf life.
At Premier Forrester, we design and integrate industrial peanut butter production lines that keep quality steady and throughput predictable, so the numbers hold up across every batch.
Peanut butter production process
A typical peanut butter production process includes:
- Nut cleaning and sorting. Removing debris and grading the nut kernels for size and quality.
- Roasting. Applying controlled heat to develop the flavour and reduce moisture.
- Cooling. Dropping the temperature quickly to protect flavour and avoid premature oil release.
- Grinding. Using primary and secondary grinders to reach the required particle size, from smooth to crunchy.
- Blending and emulsifying. Dispersing salt, sugars and stabilisers evenly to minimise oil separation.
- Filling and packaging. Portioning peanut butter into jars, tubs or pouches with correct weights and hygienic seals.
Machinery for peanut butter production
Peanut butter production - need to know
- Likely bottlenecks. Grinder throughput and cooling time often set the line pace. If either of these drift, everything backs up.
- Product variations. Creamy, crunchy, natural and flavoured products need different particle size targets, shear profiles and stabiliser strategies.
- Batch size effects. Larger batches amplify heat and oil management challenges. Mixer geometry and agitation patterns matter.
- Hygiene systems and allergens. Validated cleaning-in-place and tight segregation protect compliance and speed changeovers.
- Sustainability levers. Heat recovery on roasters and efficient drives on grinders reduce energy use without sacrificing rate.
