Peanut Butter Machines
Built for Nigeria
Nigeria grows more groundnut than any other country in Africa, yet a large share of that crop still leaves the northern states as raw or lightly processed produce. The value sits in the processing — and that is the gap Nigerian food entrepreneurs have been closing, converting locally grown groundnut into branded peanut butter and paste for domestic retail and regional export.
Shrijee Nut Company manufactures the machinery that conversion runs on. We have built peanut and nut processing equipment in Rajkot, Gujarat since 2004, with more than 500 machine installations and over 100 turnkey plant projects delivered. We export to Nigeria on FOB and CIF terms with the full documentation set your clearing agent needs.
From Raw Groundnut to Filled Jar
Order the full sequence as one integrated package, or individual machines to fill gaps in an existing setup.
Every Machine We Manufacture
Twenty machines across six categories — supplied individually or as a fully integrated line.
Choose Capacity for Your Market
Over-specifying is the most common and most expensive mistake we see. Buy for the demand you can prove, not the demand you hope for.
Starter Line
100–150 kg/dayStartup brand, single-state distribution, open-market and neighbourhood retail.
- Manual or compact roasting
- Single-stage grinding
- Manual filling
- Minimal floor space
Growth Line
300–500 kg/dayEstablished brand entering supermarket chains across several states.
- Rotary roaster and cooling belt
- Blanching stage included
- Two-stage grinding
- Semi-automatic filling
Industrial Line
1,000+ kg/dayContract manufacturer, private-label supplier, ECOWAS regional export.
- Continuous roasting
- Automated blanching
- In-line filling and labelling
- Bulk storage tanks
Right-sizing matters more than raw capacity. A 150 kg/day line running at 80% utilisation earns considerably more than a 500 kg/day line running at 20%; machines can be added to a well-planned layout later, but idle capital cannot be recovered. Remember that freight, duties, clearing, inland haulage and installation all sit on top of the machinery itself — plan for them explicitly rather than discovering them late. See our plant investment guide and automation comparison for the fuller picture.
Four Engineering Reasons,
Not Marketing Claims
Electrical Compatibility
Nigeria and India both run 50Hz supply with 415V three-phase distribution and 230V single phase. Motors, gearboxes and control panels built for India drop straight into a Nigerian factory with no frequency conversion and no motor rewind. Machinery sourced from 60Hz markets does not have this advantage.
Capital Efficiency
Indian-built stainless machinery typically lands well below European equivalents of comparable specification. That matters most when you are financing a first plant rather than replacing an existing line.
Repairable On Site
Our machines use standard-section stainless fabrication, common bearing sizes and widely available motor frames, so a competent Nigerian fabricator or millwright can maintain them. That is a deliberate design choice — equipment only a factory technician can service is a liability at this distance.
Crop Similarity
Indian and Nigerian groundnut varieties behave comparably through roasting and blanching in terms of oil content and skin adhesion, so our roasting profiles and blancher settings transfer across without redesign.
Importing Machinery into Nigeria
We handle manufacture, pre-dispatch testing, export packing and documentation. Clearing on the Nigerian side is handled by your licensed agent.
Proforma & Form M
We issue a proforma invoice, against which you open Form M through your authorised dealer bank.
Conformity Assessment
Arranged before shipment under the Standards Organisation of Nigeria import regime.
Manufacture & Testing
Two to four weeks depending on configuration, with pre-dispatch testing.
Sea Freight
Mundra or Nhava Sheva to Apapa or Tin Can, roughly 25–35 days port to port.
Clearance & Haulage
Customs clearance against your Pre-Arrival Assessment Report, then road transport to site.
Two honest cautions. Import procedures and conformity requirements in Nigeria are revised periodically — confirm the current position with your clearing agent before committing to a shipment schedule, and do not rely on this page as a compliance reference.
Separately, NAFDAC registration applies to the peanut butter you sell, not to the machine. Registering your finished product runs on its own timeline, independent of equipment delivery. Start it early.
Specified for Nigerian
Operating Conditions
Machinery specified for a stable industrial supply will disappoint in a plant running on intermittent grid power and generator backup. We account for that when quoting.
Generator-Aware Electrics
Star-delta or soft starters on higher-rated grinding motors, reducing the inrush current that trips generator sets on start-up. A connected-load schedule ships with every quotation so your electrical contractor can size the genset, changeover and stabiliser accurately instead of estimating.
Humidity-Conscious Build
Coastal Lagos humidity affects roasted kernel handling and finished-product shelf life. We advise on cooling-belt residence time and sealed storage accordingly, rather than shipping a specification designed for a dry inland climate.
Spares Held On Site
A recommended spares list ships with the order — grinding stones, bearings, seals and belts. At this distance, holding wear parts on site is the difference between a half-day stoppage and a six-week one.
Groundnut Sourcing Within Nigeria
Nigeria’s groundnut production is concentrated in the northern states — Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, Katsina, Bauchi and Taraba — the belt that once supplied the Kano groundnut pyramids. For processors based in Lagos or the south, inbound freight and moisture control during transit are real cost lines that belong in your model from the start, not as an afterthought.
- Moisture drives your roast profile. A stable supplier relationship is worth more to product consistency than a marginally lower kernel price.
- Aflatoxin management starts at intake, not at grinding. Never skip the sorting table and vibratory sieve stage, however tempting the saving looks on the machine list.
- Rejecting bad kernels at intake is far cheaper than recalling finished product from the trade.
Installation, Commissioning
& Operator Training
Before Shipment
You receive general-arrangement layout drawings, foundation details, utility and connected-load schedules, and a full operating and maintenance manual — so your civil and electrical work can be finished before the machines arrive.
On Site
Commissioning support and operator training covering roast profiling, grinder gap setting, cleaning routines and preventive maintenance. Engineer deputation to Nigeria is quoted separately — travel, visa and per-diem are additional. Where an on-site visit is not practical, we run remote commissioning over video call, and we will tell you plainly at quotation stage which approach suits your line.
Peanut Butter Machines in Nigeria
Yes. We manufacture in Rajkot, Gujarat and export to Nigeria on FOB or CIF terms through Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports, with delivery to Apapa, Tin Can Island, Onne or Calabar. We supply the export documentation set your clearing agent needs, including the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin.
Yes. Nigeria and India both use 50Hz supply with 415V three-phase distribution, so our standard motors and control panels run without frequency conversion — a genuine advantage over machinery built for 60Hz markets. We supply the connected-load schedule with every quotation so you can size your generator and stabiliser correctly for grid conditions at your site.
Most Nigerian entrants start between 100 and 300 kg per day, which suits regional retail and open-market distribution while keeping capital exposure low. Processors supplying supermarket chains or planning ECOWAS export typically specify 500 to 1,000 kg per day with semi-automatic roasting and automatic filling.
NAFDAC registration applies to the finished food product you sell, not to the machinery. You register your peanut butter as a packaged food before commercial distribution. Imported machinery falls under Standards Organisation of Nigeria conformity assessment instead. Confirm current requirements with your licensed clearing agent, as import procedures are revised periodically.
Sea freight from Mundra or Nhava Sheva to Lagos typically runs 25 to 35 days port to port, before customs clearance. Add two to four weeks for manufacturing and pre-dispatch testing. Treat these as indicative — actual transit varies with carrier routing and port congestion.
We provide layout drawings, foundation and utility details before shipment, and commissioning support with operator training on site. Engineer deputation to Nigeria is arranged case by case and quoted separately, covering travel, visa and per-diem. Remote commissioning over video is available where an on-site visit is not practical.
Yes. A complete line covers roasting, cooling, blanching, grading, two-stage grinding, mixing, filling and labelling, supplied as one integrated package with a single layout and one point of accountability. We have delivered over 100 turnkey projects and 500+ machine installations since 2004. See our turnkey peanut butter plant page for the full scope.
