DESCRIPTION
Figure schematically shows both batch production in a churn and continuous production in a butter making machine.
The cream can be supplied by a liquid milk dairy (surplus cream). From the intermediate storage tank the cream continues to pasteurisation at a temperature of 95C or higher. The high temperature is needed to destroy enzymes and micro-organisms that would impair the keeping quality of the butter. The heat treatment releases strongly anti oxygenic sulphhydryl compounds, which further reduce the risk of oxidation.
General process steps in batch and continuous production of butter
1. Milk reception 2. Preheating and pasteurisation of skimmilk 3. Fat separation 4. Cream pasteurization 5. Vacuum deaeration (when used) 6. Culture preparation (when used) 7. Cream ripening and souring (when used) 8. Temperature treatment 9. Churning/working (batch) 10. Churning/working (continuous) 11. Buttermilk collection 12. Butter silo with screw conveyor 13. Packaging machines
