Mayonnaise Production Equipment Sizing & Info

PerMix Perfects Mayonnaise Production

So you have it as a reference, here is some info in regards to production.

The PVC-500 which will produce a 125 gallon batch every 8 to 12 minutes depending on type of mayo. The main unit is nicely equipped enough to complete the task. The options are mostly if you want to semi-automate the ingredients further, but not needed. With this size you will do two 55 gallon drums every 12 minutes, or a pallet every 24 minutes. Totaling 3 pallets every hour or 24 pallets a day, which
there are 22 pallets in a truckload. These times take into consideration loading & discharge also. A truck load full of mayo is typically between $15,000 to $18,000 in value for an economical brand and higher in a premium brand, pulling in up to $22,000 a truckload. A small manufacturer with a small customer list will do 2 trucks a week. Medium size facility will do 4-6 trucks a week of just mayonnaise. When I calculate ROI, it is always on 2 trucks a week for the PVC series. Also, just more info, in a normal production facility that does not process under vacuum, they have an average of 8 drums per truck that “break” and are bad. “Breaking” is when the mayonnaise goes to packaging and the oil separates and floats on top. That is called “breaking” and is not usable.

A single PVC-1000 can do 2 truckloads a day, and so on.

So, when you take a look at ROI, it is between 3 to 5 months, sometimes 2 months Mayo is the main
base for many salad dressings such as Thousand Island, Blue Cheese, Creamy Italian, and more…
