Plumpy'Nut Peanut Butter Production Line End-to-end
Material: Peanuts
Capacity: 300-2000 kg/h
Loading Port: Qingdao Port
Description: A complete solution dedicated to the production of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). It is fully automated and meets UNICEF and WHO standards.
Product Features
This plumpy peanut butter production line is an end-to-end solution specifically designed for the manufacture of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Using peanut butter as the core base, the line incorporates precisely proportioned ingredients—such as milk powder, sugar, vegetable oil, and vitamin-mineral premixes—to produce high-energy, highly nutritious RUTF products.
The plumpy nut production line handles the entire processing workflow, from raw peanut sorting to final product filling, in strict compliance with WHO standards. It features fully automated production and offers selectable capacities ranging from 300 to 2,000 kg/h to meet the needs of facilities of various scales.
Equipment Components of Plumpy'Nut Production Line
1. Peanut Pre-processing Unit:
Includes a destoner, metal separator, color sorter, roaster-cooler, peanut peeler, coarse grinder, and ultra-fine peanut butter mill.
- Peanuts are screened to remove foreign matter (such as stones and metal), and color sorting technology is used to eliminate moldy or defective peanuts. This step is crucial for controlling aflatoxin levels.
- The peanuts are then roasted to develop flavor, eliminate raw/beany notes, and reduce moisture content.
- A peeler removes the skins and splits the peanuts, followed by a sorting step to remove kernels that are moldy or over-roasted.
- Coarse grinding followed by fine grinding produces a smooth peanut butter. The grinding fineness is ≤20 microns, ensuring a smooth texture without grittiness.
2. Blending Unit:
Includes a high-precision ingredient dosing system, mixing tank, homogenizer, and secondary grinder.
Premixes (such as milk powder, sugar, and vitamins) are blended thoroughly. Homogenization and mixing are then performed for several minutes to create a stable, uniform oil-in-paste emulsion that does not separate. Finally, secondary grinding standardizes particle size, ensuring a smooth mouthfeel for the plumpy peanut paste.
3. Filling Unit:
Includes a vacuum degassing tank and a fully automatic filling machine.
- Vacuum degassing removes air bubbles trapped in the plumpy nut paste prior to filling, preventing product separation.
- The paste is then conveyed at a constant temperature to the automatic filling machine (standardized at 92g per sachet).
- Packaging involves vacuum heat-sealing in four-layer aluminum foil composite sachets to provide a barrier against oxygen and moisture, followed by inkjet printing of the production date and other details.
Key Features of the Plumpy Peanut Butter Production Line
- Intelligent PLC Control: Features centralized control via PLC and touchscreen, supporting one-touch operation and parameter adjustment; a single operator can easily manage the system. It also provides intelligent real-time monitoring of equipment status and logs production data, ensuring full traceability.
- Precise Nutritional Formulation: High-precision metering and automatic ingredient dosing systems ensure consistent nutritional content across batches, with an error rate of less than 0.5%.
- Flexible, Adjustable Formulas: The PLC system allows for formula adjustments based on local production needs, enabling the manufacture of various RUTF products beyond just Plumpy’Nut.
- Flexible Adaptability: A modular design allows for the adjustment of process stages to meet customer requirements and accommodate changes in formulas or packaging specifications.
- Fully Enclosed Production: Characterized by high mechanization and reliability, the fully enclosed continuous production process ensures consistent product quality.
Application Scenarios
This production line is widely suitable for RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food) manufacturing plants, large-scale peanut butter processing enterprises, and suppliers of humanitarian aid food products. The entire line is designed to comply with relevant international standards, such as those set by UNICEF and the WHO.
