Fats and Oils

Producing Peanut Butter without Jamming

Sanitarium employs flexible screw conveyors in its seven production sites, and asked the manufacturer, Flexicon Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited., to design a conveyor for the peanut butter production line.

"At the quantities involved, we cannot simply dump nuts straight from a bag into the mill. There has to be a controlled rate of feed, or else the nuts clog the mill inlet."

- Carl Caldwell-Cook, Plant Engineering Manager at Sanitarium Health Foods
