Butter making equipment
MI butter churns, GM homogenizers, butter block shredders, cutting units, fat melters, crystallizers
Butter equipment is selected based on two questions: where your butter comes from — you churn it from cream, get it from a continuous butter maker or buy it in 20–25 kg blocks — and in what form you sell it: pieces, packs or blocks. Milberg produces butter churns from 30 to 3,000 L, crystallizers, butter homogenizers, block shredders, butter cutters, and semi-automatic and automatic butter packing machines.

How to choose butter production equipment
- Raw material. Butter is churned from cream in a butter churn. Warm butter from a continuous butter maker is cooled to packing temperature in a crystallizer. Purchased blocks are prepared for packing in a butter homogenizer, and frozen blocks are first shredded into shavings.
- Packaging. A butter cutter cuts pieces for manual wrapping in parchment or foil. A semi-automatic extruder forms pieces of various shapes. The FMB machine packs 100–1,000 g bricks, and a carton packing machine packs 20–25 kg blocks.
- Volume. Up to 2 t of butter per shift, a butter cutter or a semi-automatic extruder is enough. Continuous packing into packs requires an automatic machine — 30–90 packs per minute.
- Temperature. Most packing machines need butter at about +10…11 °C. The standard homogenizer accepts butter from +8…10 °C, the heavy-duty version accepts cold butter from +4 °C.
