Case History: Food Manufacturer's New Batching, Feeding, and Blending Equipment Saves More Than Just Peanuts
From acrison.com
Tara Foods, Albany, Ga., makes peanut butter for retail and institutional markets. Kroger distributes most of the peanut butter under the Kroger brand name, but Tara Foods also makes peanut butter under various private labels. The food company's large customer base requires many different peanut butter formulations. For production, trucks deliver several dry ingredients in bags on pallets. Ingredients such as stabilizers and powdered granular sugars come in 100-pound bags and salts come in 80 pound bags. Forklift trucks move the pallets to a warehouse prior to processing.
