FEATURES DETAILS

Advanced Airtight Design

Our patented airtight system ensures that the milk enters the bowl smoothly and gradually accelerates to the separation speed. This exclusive technology prevents air from entering the flow and guarantees an extremely gentle process that preserves the integrity of the fat globules, essential for cheese quality.

Système PRSTM - Protein Recovery System

The integrated PRSTM system reduces protein loss to almost zero during ejection. Thanks to an optimized sludge chamber design with revised dimensions and a more powerful and faster ejection system, we guarantee highly efficient ejections with an extended ejection time.

Direct Mechanical Transmission

Our direct gear transmission system connected to a flexible spindle vertical shaft minimizes energy losses and reduces maintenance requirements. The specially developed motor, mounted directly on the separator shaft, allows for a compact footprint and optimal energy efficiency.

Areas of application

Our centrifugal separator is suitable for various applications in the dairy and cheese industry:

Traditional cheesemaking - Precise adjustment of fat content for pressed cheeses
Industrial cheese production - Standardization of fat content for mass production
Cream production - High-quality separation for creams of varying contents
Standardized milk - Milk preparation with varying fat content
Dairy ingredients industry - Separation for milk powders and concentrates

Advantages of the centrifugal separator

Exceptional separation precision

Advanced centrifugal technology allows precise control of the fat content with a separation efficiency exceeding 99.8%, essential for the quality and reproducibility of cheese products.

Optimized energy efficiency

Thanks to the special frequency inverter and direct transmission, our separator offers reduced energy consumption of up to 30% compared to conventional technologies.

Reduced maintenance and reliability

The robust design with fewer moving parts and the SuperDuplex steel bowl ensure exceptional operational reliability and minimized maintenance costs.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert questions on centrifugal separators and milk defatting technologies

Centrifugal separation uses the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the bowl (6,000–9,500 rpm) to separate the components according to their density. The less dense fat globules migrate toward the center, while the denser skimmed milk is ejected toward the periphery. Our airtight technology guarantees a separation efficiency exceeding 99.8%, with a fat content adjustment accuracy of ±0.05%. This precision is essential for optimal adjustment according to the type of cheese being produced.

The PRSTM (Protein Recovery System) is a patented innovation that optimizes the solids ejection process. Thanks to an enlarged sludge chamber and a more powerful ejection system, it enables more efficient discharge with reduced bowl opening time. This technology reduces protein loss to almost zero during ejection, thus preserving the product's nutritional value and improving the plant's economic performance. Tests demonstrate a 95% reduction in losses compared to conventional systems.

Our patented airtight system ensures product entry and exit without the incorporation of air. The milk is introduced in a controlled manner and gradually accelerated to the separation velocity, avoiding mechanical shocks that could damage the fat globule membranes. This preservation is crucial for cheese quality, as intact fat globules guarantee better texture, flavor, and coagulation properties. The airtight technology also reduces oxidation and extends the shelf life of the finished products.

Our separator incorporates several innovations to minimize energy consumption: direct mechanical transmission eliminating belt losses, an intelligent frequency inverter adapting power to actual needs, and integrated rotary pumps reducing the need for external equipment. These combined technologies enable energy savings of up to 30% compared to conventional separators. Specific energy consumption varies from 0.5 to 1.2 kWh/m³ depending on the capacity and the required degree of separation.

The robust design with a SuperDuplex steel bowl and direct drive ensures an operational life exceeding 20 years with proper maintenance. Preventive maintenance is recommended every 4,000 hours for seals and every 8,000 hours for a complete overhaul. The automatic solids ejection system reduces the frequency of manual cleaning, while the modular design facilitates access to critical components. Our predictive monitoring system alerts the operator to maintenance needs before failures occur.
