Our peanut butter making machine is designed to process peanuts into smooth or crunchy peanut butter for commercial food production. It integrates peanut shelling, roasting, peeling, grinding, mixing, and filling equipment to help manufacturers establish a peanut butter processing business or expand existing production capacity.

We offer semi-automatic peanut butter production lines with a capacity of 50–100 kg/h and automatic configurations for 200 kg/h and above. The equipment combination can be customized according to your raw materials, product formulation, production targets, and packaging requirements.

1. What Can You Produce with a Peanut Butter Production Line?

Our peanut butter making machine can produce various types of peanut butter according to different processing requirements, serving the retail, food manufacturing, and catering industries.

Smooth Peanut Butter

Peanuts are ground into a fine, uniform paste, suitable for spreading on bread and toast, as well as for use in breakfast foods, sandwiches, and other everyday foods.

Crunchy Peanut Butter

The peanut grinding machine can grind peanuts to the required mesh size according to customer needs, allowing the finished product to retain a certain degree of texture. The formulation and mixing process can be adjusted according to the desired particle size and taste.

Peanut Butter for Food Processing

Peanut butter can also be used as an ingredient in biscuits, cakes, confectionery, fillings, sauces, and other food products. Manufacturers can select the appropriate grinding fineness and formulation according to the intended application.

The texture and consistency of the final product depend on the peanut variety, roasting conditions, grinding equipment configuration, and product formulation. For certain special formulations, additional processing or mixing equipment may be required.

2. Who Needs The Peanut Butter Machine?

Our peanut butter making machine can serve businesses at different stages of production.

  • Food processing factories: Produce packaged peanut butter for supermarkets, grocery stores, and food distributors.
  • Small and medium-sized food businesses: Start peanut butter production with a compact, semi-automatic configuration.
  • Peanut processing companies: Extend their existing peanut processing operations into finished peanut butter products.
  • Private-label food brands: Manufacture peanut butter under their own brands, with packaging selected for their target markets.
  • Commercial food ingredient suppliers: Supply peanut butter to bakeries, confectionery manufacturers, restaurants, and other food businesses.

The appropriate production line depends on the expected order volume, product range, available factory space, and packaging requirements.

3. Peanut Butter Production Line Configurations

We provide semi-automatic and automatic configurations to accommodate different production scales.

Semi-Automatic Peanut Butter Production Line: 50–100 kg/h

This configuration is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses that need essential processing equipment without a fully automated packaging system.

Main equipment:

  • Peanut Shelling Machine: Removes the outer shells from unshelled peanuts.
  • Peanut Roasting Machine: Roasts peanut kernels to develop their characteristic flavor.
  • Dry Peanut Peeling Machine: Removes the red skins from roasted peanuts.
  • Colloid Mill: Grinds peeled peanut kernels into smooth peanut butter.
  • Mixing Tank: Mixes the peanut butter with sugar, salt, or other ingredients according to the recipe.
  • Semi-Automatic Paste Filling Machine: Fills peanut butter into jars, bottles, or other suitable containers.
  • Sealing Machine: Seals the filled containers using a method compatible with the packaging.
  • Labeling Machine: Applies product labels to the finished packages.

Processing flow:

Peanut Shelling → Roasting → Dry Peeling → Grinding → Mixing → Filling → Sealing → Labeling

The operator can handle selected material transfer and packaging tasks. This arrangement offers flexibility for businesses starting production or processing several product batches.

The sealing machine is selected according to the packaging design. A vacuum capping machine can be used for compatible screw-cap containers, while an aluminum foil induction sealing machine is suitable for compatible containers with induction-sealable foil liners.

Automatic Peanut Butter Production Line: 200 kg/h and Above

For larger factories, we can integrate peanut preparation, grinding, mixing, storage, and automatic packaging equipment into a coordinated production system.

A. Peanut Preparation Section

Equipment configuration:

Peanut Shelling Machine → Roasting Machine → Roaster Infeed Conveyor → Cooling Conveyor → Peeling Machine → Sorting Conveyor → Pneumatic Conveying System

  • The peanut sheller removes the outer shells from unshelled peanuts.
  • The peanut roasting machine develops the desired peanut flavor.
  • The infeed conveyor feeds peanuts into the roasting process.
  • The cooling conveyor reduces the temperature of roasted peanuts.
  • The peanut peeling machine removes the red skins.
  • The sorting conveyor allows defective kernels and unwanted materials to be removed.
  • The pneumatic conveying system transfers prepared peanut kernels to the grinding section.

B. Grinding and Mixing Section

Equipment configuration:

Combined Colloid Mill → Peanut Butter Holding Tank → Paste Transfer Pump → Mixing Tank → Vacuum Tank → Storage Tank

The combined colloid mill grinds peanut kernels into peanut butter with the required consistency. The holding tank temporarily stores the ground product, while the paste pump transfers it between processing stages.

Sugar, salt, or other ingredients can be added in the mixing tank according to the product formulation. A vacuum tank can help remove entrapped air, and the storage tank supplies the processed peanut butter to the filling system.

C. Automatic Filling and Packaging Section

Equipment configuration:

Bottle Unscrambler → Filling Machine → Cap Placing Machine → Press or Screw Capping Machine → Labeling Machine → Date Coding Machine

  • Bottle unscrambler: Arranges containers and feeds them into the filling line.
  • Filling machine: Dispenses a preset quantity of peanut butter into each container.
  • Cap placing machine: Places caps onto the filled containers.
  • Capping machine: Presses or screws caps into place according to the closure design.
  • Labeling machine: Applies product labels.
  • Date coding machine: Prints production dates, batch numbers, or other required information.

Filling machines can be configured with single, double, 4, 5, 8, or 10 filling heads. The final selection depends on container size, product viscosity, and required packaging speed.

5. Packaging Options for Commercial Peanut Butter

Packaging affects both the filling equipment and the final production layout. We can recommend a suitable packaging configuration based on the containers you intend to use.

  • Glass jars: Suitable for retail peanut butter products and premium food packaging.
  • Plastic bottles and jars: Available in different sizes for retail and food service.
  • Large containers: Suitable for bulk supply to bakeries, restaurants, and food manufacturers.

The filling machine must be suitable for the viscosity of the peanut butter. Capping or sealing equipment is selected according to the container material, opening design, and closure type.

For businesses selling branded products, labeling and date coding machines can be included to complete the packaging process.
