Fullkomin smjörolía – AMF framleiðslulína

Alfa Laval

Complete Butter oil – AMF production line

This line makes Pure Dairy Fatt from melted butter or cream by separating and evaporation.
Capacity output Butteroil up to 2.000 to 4.000ltr/h

Input: melted butter (72-84% fat) or concentrated cream or fat stream which already had phase inversion (45/72%).
Output: Pure fat > 99.8% Fatt.
A Flexible line with manual controls integrated CIP system

Process and equipment description:
Heater
Plate heater exchanger for heating the mix to 80/90°C
Complete with pumps, control valves, piping, sensors.

2 Buffer tanks
Volume: approx. 8.000ltr, with agitator, stairs and frame, CIP and product valves.
Feed pump make Fristam to the separators.

2 Separators:
Separator 1: Concentrator Alfa-Laval model: BRPX413-XGD-14c.
Concentrating up to ± 95% fat.

Separator 2: Finisher Alfa-Laval model: BRPX413-XGD-14c,
Concentrating up to ± 99.4% fat

For each separator:
The fat (light phase) is pumped out to the next stage and the water/protein (heavy phase) are separated out and ejected to a balance tank and pumped of by a separate pump.
The separators have their own control panel, and a frequency converter (Danfoss VLT) on the main motor, and are mechanically complete with the inlet and counter pressure valves, water valves (for solids ejection).

Evaporator
Flash vacuum dryer
Complete with:
- Vacuum tank.
- Vacuum pump.
- Product pump.
Fjdpozki Amsfx Anvopi
- Level control by float.
- Vacuum controller.
- Vacuum cooler
- Filter on outlet.
- Piping and frame.
- Controls in central cabinet.
- Recirculation tank with agitator placed directly next to the evaporator.
- Sight glass with light to check the clearness of the final product,
Concentration up to 99.8% Fatt.
This is the last stage of concentrating by evaporating the last water through a flush effect where butter oil is heated under pressure and cooled and exploded in a vacuum vessel.

Nitrogen injection system
N2 Injection system to prevent contact with oxygen in buffer tanks.
N2 injection point and its flow meter and control valve
Bag filter (cloth)
Sight glass with light.

Serum separator
Next to this there is a separator for the Sirom (heavy phase) to skim/recuperate the remaining fat in the serum and return this into the process.
Buffer tank, heater/cooler and pump system are included.

CIP system
There is a CIP system (semi-automatic) to dose the cleaning detergent from a drum direct into the process.
Including: 3 Dosing pumps, a stainless steel storage box for the Drums, injection system, pump, balance tank and controls.


Ideal for concentrating a rest stream with fatt in a factory or making Butteroil from butter.
Still installed in a Major Butter oil producer factory in The Netherlands.
