Cream separator

The cream separator is used for the skimming process and is based on the difference in density between the cream and the liquid phase of the milk. Mechanical skimmers make use of the centrifugal forces generated through rotation. This makes fast and efficient skimming possible. The cream separator is equipped with an electrical motor that drives a "dish bowl". The dish bowl is provided with a series of dishes. These ensure that during the rotation, the milk is spread into thin films. These thin films are then separated into cream and skimmed milk.
