Dual-Head Peanut Butter Filling Machine Delivers 3x Efficiency for Tanzania Food Producer
A Dar es Salaam peanut butter producer replaced manual jar filling with a dual-head piston filler configured for 230V/50Hz power and a Type G plug. The stainless-steel machine handles 200–500g portions of high-viscosity products with stated accuracy of ±1%.
After 90 days, daily output reportedly increased from 200 to 600 jars, staffing fell from three workers to one operator, and overfill dropped from about 8% to 1%. The company said the machine paid for itself within two months and enabled wider distribution.
Tanzania produces over 1 million tonnes of peanuts annually, yet most local processors still rely on manual filling — bottlenecking growth. When a Dar es Salaam-based food company needed a reliable peanut butter filling machine that matched their 230V power supply, Shuliy delivered a dual-head paste filler that tripled their output in 90 days.
Customer Background: From Raw Peanuts to Jarred Peanut Butter
Our client operates a small-to-medium food processing facility in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The company sources raw peanuts from regional farms in Dodoma and Mwanza — two of Tanzania’s top peanut-growing regions — and produces natural peanut butter for local supermarkets and open-air markets.
Before contacting Shuliy, the team filled peanut butter jars by hand using a simple ladle-and-scale setup. This method limited daily output to approximately 200 jars per shift, created inconsistent fill weights, and required three full-time workers to keep up with orders.
The Challenge: Manual Filling and Power Compatibility
Two core problems held the operation back:
- Low throughput with inconsistent fills — Hand filling caused ±15% weight variation, leading to customer complaints and product giveaway.
- Power supply mismatch — Tanzania uses 230V / 50Hz single-phase power with British-style Type G plugs. Most imported filling machines ship with Chinese or European plugs, requiring unsafe adapters.
The company needed a semi-automatic paste filling machine that could handle thick peanut butter (viscosity ~15,000 cP), deliver consistent 200–500g fills, and plug directly into their existing power outlets without modification.
Why Use the Shuliy Dual-Head Paste Filling Machine?
After evaluating their requirements, we recommended the Shuliy Dual-Head Paste Filling Machine — a piston-driven filler designed for high-viscosity products like peanut butter, tahini, and thick sauces.

Five Reasons This Machine Was the Right Fit
- Dual-head design doubles throughput — Two filling nozzles operate simultaneously, doubling output without requiring a larger machine footprint.
- Piston-driven precision — Unlike gravity fillers, the piston mechanism handles peanut butter’s thick, semi-solid consistency with ±1% accuracy.
- Custom plug installation — We installed a British Type G plug at the factory before shipping, so the machine was ready to use upon arrival — no adapters, no electrician visit.
- Compact footprint — At just 700 × 1000 × 420 mm, the machine fit easily into the existing production room without renovation.
- 304 stainless steel construction — Food-grade material meets Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) requirements for edible product contact surfaces.
Installation and On-Site Training
The machine arrived in Dar es Salaam with a complete setup kit: air compressor connection fittings, spare O-rings, silicone lubricant, and an illustrated operation manual in English. Our technical team provided remote video guidance for installation and calibrated the filling volume to the client’s target weight of 350g per jar.
Key training topics covered:
- Daily cleaning and sanitation procedures for peanut butter residue
- Adjusting fill weight across the 200–500g range
- Troubleshooting air pressure issues (recommended 0.4–0.6 MPa)
- Lubrication schedule for piston seals
Results After 90 Days
The transformation was immediate. Here’s what changed after three months of operation:
| Metric | Before (Manual) | After (Dual-Head Filler) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Output (1 shift) | 200 jars | 600 jars | +200% |
| Fill Accuracy | ±15% | ±1% | 15x better consistency |
| Labor Required | 3 workers | 1 operator | 67% labor reduction |
| Product Waste | ~8% overfill | <1% | Near-zero giveaway |
| Monthly Revenue Potential | $2,400 | $7,200 | +$4,800/month |
The investment paid for itself in under two months. The company has since expanded distribution to three additional regions in Tanzania and is evaluating a second unit for their mango chutney line.
Customer Testimonial
“Before Shuliy, we could barely keep up with supermarket orders. Now we fill 600 jars in a single shift with one operator. The machine arrived with the correct plug — we plugged it in and started production the same day. This was the best investment our company has made.”
— Production Manager, XXX Foods Ltd, Dar es Salaam
