CORMACO, butter and milk fat engineering specialist, supports dairy manufacturers in the design of their installations, the implementation of their technical butter manufacturing processes — texturation, concentration, fractionation, standardisation, deodorisation, tailor-made formulations — and the optimisation of their production output.

Built on the expertise of Philippe CORMAN, the pioneer of the physical processes that overcame butter’s technical limitations and expanded its range of applications — from industrial to consumer —, CORMACO puts this butter expertise at the service of dairy manufacturers looking to develop or optimise their milk fat processing capabilities.

From the very design stage of installations — plant layout, production line sizing, equipment supplier selection — we support our clients throughout their projects.

Our areas of expertise:

  • Texturation: use of scraped surface heat exchangers to produce homogeneous butter with fine, regular crystals and perfect water dispersion. This process delivers specific hardness and consistency tailored to each application: croissant production, sandwich butter, spreadable butter, low-fat butters.
  • Concentration: production of anhydrous butter.
  • Fractionation: production of high and low melting point fractions for butters with targeted properties.
  • Standardisation: ensuring consistent butter quality throughout the year.
  • Deodorisation: recovery of butter with high free fatty acid or peroxide levels.
  • Tailor-made formulations: low-fat butters, fridge-spreadable butters, dairy spreads, butters for sandwich trade, milk fat and vegetable oil blends...

Beyond implementing these processes, we work with our clients to optimise their production output: reducing fat losses, increasing hourly throughput, minimising downtime...

Over the course of its assignments, CORMACO has notably designed and supported the construction of complete technical butter production units in France, Spain, Switzerland and Ireland.

Depending on our partners' needs, we can also provide commercial representation on targeted markets.
