Cold milk skimming Self-cleaning cold milk separators Cold milk separation at > 4 °C (39.2 °F) takes place in a number of processes including: • cheese making process using unpasteurised milk • pre-standardisation process (avoiding double heating treatment) • high-quality cream production. Left half, Right half, bowl closed Cold milk separation enables significant savings in energy and thermal equipment such as heat exchangers. Cold milk skimming efficiency is lower than for warm milk, and cream concentration cannot exceed 40-42 %. Skimming efficiency improves by increasing temperature...

Automatic milk and cream standardisation An original system developed by SPX, the Seital Series Se-St automatic standardisation unit employs a highly accurate Coriolis-type meter to provide the density of the cream coming out of the separator. The unit automatically controls separator output parameters such as skim back-pressure and cream concentration and features a touchscreen interface for adjustment of the fat quantity in milk and cream based on recipes set by the operator. The unit is available as a stand-alone module that can be connected to an existing separator or integrated in the...

Whey processing Centrifugal separators play a fundamental role in whey processing by recovering fat from whey and/or preparing it for concentration. Whey clarification The main purpose of whey clarification is to remove curd fines in order to enable the highest possible efficiency in the subsequent fat separation process. The best way to reduce cheese fines is by using a centrifugal clarifier. Self-cleaning whey clarifiers Mod e ls SE11SM Whey separation Fat separation from whey is similar to fat separation from milk. Whey contains small amounts of fat, usually between 0.15 and 0.70 %. Fat...

Small dairies Solid-retaining milk and whey clarifiers Mod e ls Solid-retaining separators and clarifiers Solid-retaining (manual cleaning) milk/whey clarifiers, and warm milk and whey skimming separators are also available. The solid impurities present in the product are collected in the internal periphery of the bowl. Solids retaining centrifuges must be stopped and cleaned manually at the end of the production shift. Cream and butter oil processing Solid-retaining milk and whey separators Mod e ls Cream concentrators Cream concentration is a common task in the Dairy Industry. Seital...
