Separators for the Dairy Industry

Separators play a crucial role in the dairy industry by efficiently separating milk into cream and skimmed milk. This process enables the production of various dairy products such as butter, cheese, and yogurt. A separator operates based on centrifugal force: a rapidly rotating drum separates the milk according to its density, isolating fat particles from the rest of the milk.

Applications of Separators

In addition to milk skimming, separators are used for:

• Whey skimming – Separating fat from whey.
• Bactofugation – Removing bacteria and spores to extend product shelf life.
• Production of quark and Greek yogurt – Concentrating proteins to achieve the desired texture and taste.
