A milk separator (centrifugal cream separator) uses centrifugal force to separate whole milk into cream (the fat-rich phase) and skim milk. In a disc centrifuge, milk enters through the centre and is distributed between closely spaced conical discs rotating at high speed (typically 5,000–10,000 RPM). The higher density skim milk is thrown outward; the lower density cream moves toward the centre and exits from the cream outlet. The fat content of the separated cream can be adjusted by controlling the flow ratio of cream to skim milk (using a throttle valve on the cream outlet) — dairy plants typically standardise both the cream (to a target fat content for further processing) and the skim milk (to a target residual fat content). Milk clarifiers are similar centrifuges used to remove somatic cells, bacteria, and sediment from milk rather than to separate cream — they improve milk microbiological quality and extend shelf life. Self-cleaning separators have automated periodic discharge of the sludge (sediment) collected in the bowl.
Frequently asked questions
What milk flow rate do I need for my dairy plant separator?
The separator must be sized to process the peak milk intake rate — typically the morning collection peak in a dairy that receives raw milk from farms once or twice daily. If your plant receives, say, 5,000 litres in a 2-hour morning collection window, the separator must process at least 2,500 litres per hour to clear the intake in two hours. Allow capacity headroom for cleaning and maintenance downtime. Separator manufacturers specify rated capacity in litres per hour of whole milk for standard centrifuge designs.
