Peanut Butter

Viscosity: Ranges from 2,000 to 22,000 cPs., varying as make-up and temperature. Normal pumping temperature is from 32°C to 82°C / 90°F to 180°F.

Remarks: Peanut butter is made by mixing ground up peanuts with various additives and fillers. From the mixer peanut butter is pumped through a deaerator and/or a heat exchanger to remove entrained air and to drop the temperature prior to being pumped to the jar filling machines.

Pump Notes: Cast iron construction is satisfactory but stainless steel may be used because of sanitary requirements. Buna n elastomers are recommended.
