BUTTER-MAKING PROCESS
VACUUM METHOD AT EAST TAMAKI (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 16. Claimed to be the first factory in the world to be entirely equipped for the manufacture of butter under a vacuum process, the East Tamaki Co-operative Dairy Company's plant was visited by the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon W. Lee Martin, and factory managers from other North Island centres today. Officially setting foui- 65-box churns in motion, the Minister congratulated tlie company on its enterprise in adopting a new but what might prove to be a revolutionary method. The complete adoption of the vacuum precess has followed some years of experiment and trial. The principal difference from the orthodox method of manufacture lies in the conditions under which the actual butter-making is carried out. the churning proceeding in an automatically-created vacuum from which gases and certain atmospheric moistures are drawn off. This is accomplished by the churn being surrounded by an outer casing.
The process is claimed to result in better keeping qualities, finer textures and greater spreadability in the finished product.
