How Does the Butter Processing Line Work?

  1. Cool the fresh milk: Fresh milk first goes into the milk cooling tank for storage. The tank keeps the milk fresh at a low temperature.
  2. Pump the milk: The centrifugal pump moves the cooled milk into the pasteurization tank.
  3. Pasteurize the milk: The pasteurization tank heats the milk to kill harmful bacteria. This step ensures food safety.
  4. Separate the cream: The milk flows to the cream separator. The cream separator spins at high speed to separate cream from skim milk.
  5. Churn the cream into butter: After separation, the cream enters the butter churn. The butter churn rotates and churns the cream until butter grains form. The system drains away the buttermilk.
  6. Collect the butter: Finally, the butter is ready for collection and further processing.
