Butter Silo type BBA
The Gerstenberg Schröder® Butter Silo Type BBA seamlessly integrates into your butter processing plant, optimizing production efficiency and ensuring the highest standards of butter quality. This advanced silo system reduces costs and enhances the smooth operation of your continuous butter production line.
Maximize Butter Production with the Butter Silo Type BBA
The Gerstenberg Schröder® Butter Silo Type BBA is an essential component for improving efficiency in butter production. Designed to handle capacities from 1,500 to 5,000 kg, this silo acts as a critical buffer, ensuring smooth flow between the continuous butter-making machine, reworker system and packaging equipment.
-
Efficiency
The Butter Silo Type BBA supports continuous operation, minimizing downtime and optimizing production schedules. Its reliable buffer zone ensures seamless transitions between processing stages, contributing to consistent, high-quality output.
-
Quality
Equipped with precision-controlled augers and an advanced drive system, the Butter Silo Type BBA preserves butter’s texture, flavor, and overall integrity throughout production.
-
Cost Savings
This efficient system reduces operational costs by minimizing resource usage during the Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) process, saving on water, chemicals, and energy. The durable construction and low-maintenance design provide long-term savings.
-
Reliability
Built with AISI 316L stainless steel for product-contacting parts and AISI 304 for structural components, the Butter Silo Type BBA delivers consistent, reliable performance for butter production facilities.
-
Easy Inspection and Maintenance
Accessible seals and bearings simplify maintenance without requiring pump dismantling or silo entry, minimizing downtime and keeping maintenance costs low.
-
High-Quality Materials
All product-contacting parts are made of AISI 316L stainless steel to ensure durability and hygiene, while structural components use AISI 304 for added reliability.
-
Efficient Auger Gear Motors
Frequency-regulated motors (ranging from 2x2.2 to 4 kW) offer optimal performance tailored to butter processing demands.
-
Superior Surface Finishing
The interior is sand-blasted and the exterior glass-blasted, ensuring a hygienic, professional appearance.
The Butter Silo Type BBA is designed to enhance efficiency, maintain quality, and ensure reliable performance, making it an invaluable asset in any butter processing plant.
Applications
- Continuous butter production
- Sweet and cultured butter (with or without salt)
- Various spreadable butters, dairy blends, and high-moisture butter
Theory of Operation
The Butter Silo Type BBA uses large-diameter augers and a frequency-controlled drive system to accommodate various butter consistencies. Its inclined bottom design conserves water, chemicals, and energy during the CIP process, cutting waste and costs. A long pressure tunnel prevents cavitation in butter pumps, ensuring smooth flow with up to four pumps at the outlet, even at high capacities.
