Abstract
A method for producing butter in a buttermaking machine involves using a rotatable beater, in the buttermaking cylinder, to form butter grain and buttermilk with cream supplied to the cylinder. In the drum for the post-buttermaking process, a post-buttermaking process is performed, during which a butter grain size is adjusted. The butter grain is kneaded in the first press, which includes a hollow base body containing one or two screw conveyors, the speed of which can be regulated by a speed-regulated drive, and in addition, the basic water content of the butter is reduced and in the first mixing section, the cross-section of at least one outlet of a throttle device is modified, one or both of the steps and being carried out in an electronically self-regulating manner.

A method for producing butter a butter-making machine, the butter-making machine comprising an inlet, a butter-making cylinder with a rotatable beater, a butter-refining drum and a first extraction press, and a first mixing section arranged downstream thereof, the method comprising:
- a) forming, by the rotatable beater in the butter-making cylinder, butter grains and butter milk from cream supplied to the butter-making cylinder;
- b) performing, in the butter-refining drum, a butter-refining process in which a butter grain size is adjusted;
- c) kneading the butter grains in the first extraction press, which comprises a hollow body containing one or two screw conveyors having a speed that is regulated by an adjustable-speed drive, wherein a basic water content of the butter is also reduced;
- d) varying, in the first mixing section, a cross-section of an outlet opening of a restrictor,
- wherein one or both of the steps c) and d) are performed in an electronically self-regulating manner.
