Know How Alfa Laval Milk Separator Work
The separation of cream is a phenomenon whereby milk is separated into cream and skimmed milk by centrifugal and gravitational force. Centrifugal force is a thousand times greater than the gravitational force. The milk enters the fast rotating bowl of the separator. It is then solicited by gravitational and centrifugal force. The influx of milk is channeled to the outer wall of the bowl and fills it from the outside to the center. Centrifugal and gravitational forces continue to act continuously and act to separate serum and cream. Obviously, the serum is projected towards the outer periphery and channeled so that the skimmed milk comes out, while the cream is channeled towards the central core and evacuated by the cream, while the cream is channeled towards the central nucleus and expelled by the cream.
