Overview
Butter Making Machine BUE
The machine is designed for the continuous production of butter from sweet or sour cream according to the Fritz process.
Buttermaking
The cream is precisely heated to a constant temperature and churned to butter granules in cylinder 1. In cylinder 2, the granules are cooled down in a chilled butter milk bath before the butter milk is drained from the conglomerating butter lumps.
In texturizer 1, the butter is kneaded to drain more butter milk. Then water, buttermilk, dairy culture, salt brine or other liquids can be dosed and a multiple stage mixer evenly blends all ingredients. In the vacuum chamber the enclosed air is extracted. Subsequently, in texturizer 2 the butter once more is thoroughly kneaded and mixed and an integrated butter pump ensures a continuous discharge.
Features & Benefits
The machine is completely CIP-cleanable. The cleaning concept of GEA provides a product recovery with almost no losses.
