CENTRIFUGAL CREAM SEPARATOR
Function principle Milk is fed under pressure, through an enclosed pipe. It is then gently introduced into the bowl through a feeding pipe and the distributor, before starting rising through the rising channels. Due to the centrifugal force and its higher specific gravity, skimmed milk is forced towards the periphery of the bowl, while cream concentrates in the central part. Both skimmed milk and cream rise along their respective paths, before reaching the two centripetal pumps and outlets. Solids, that are also subject to the action of the centrifugal force, are forced towards the periphery of the bowl, where they accumulate before being automatically discharged at pre-set intervals
