Weight-loss feeder works for peanuts -- and other peanut butter ingredients
By replacing its troublesome weigh belts with weight-loss-differential feeders, Algood Foods reduced its maintenance costs and decreased its problems with off-spec peanut butter.
Maintaining the proper ingredient mix is a critical step in making peanut butter. To ensure that the peanut butter's quality and taste is uniform among batches of the same recipe, feeders are used to accurately meter peanuts, sugar, salt, and stabilizer into the mix.
