FEATURES DETAILS

Patented airtight design

Our airtight inlet/outlet system ensures that the milk enters the bowl smoothly and gradually accelerates to the separation speed. This technology prevents air from being introduced and preserves the integrity of the fat globules, which is essential for the quality of the cream produced.

PRSTM protein recovery system

The PRSTM (Protein Recovery System) reduces milk losses to almost zero during solids discharge. Thanks to an optimized sludge chamber and a faster, more powerful discharge system, we minimize product loss while maintaining maximum separation efficiency.

Direct transmission and energy efficiency

The direct drive system with a special motor mounted directly on the centrifugal shaft minimizes energy loss, reduces space requirements, and decreases maintenance needs. Combined with a special frequency inverter, it optimizes power consumption for economical operation.

Areas of application

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

Skimming of standard milk - Production of skimmed milk and cream
Milk standardization - Precise adjustment of fat content
Milk clarification - Removal of impurities and somatic cells
Buttermilk production - Separation during butter making
Whey processing - Separation of fat and protein phases

Advantages of centrifugal separation

Optimal separation efficiency

With a separation efficiency exceeding 99.8%, our technology guarantees precise cream/skimmed milk separation while preserving the quality of fat globules for a cream with superior texture and taste.

Significant energy savings

Direct drive and the absence of an additional recovery pump significantly reduce energy consumption, while integrated rotary pumps maximize product transfer efficiency.

Reduced maintenance and reliability

With fewer moving parts and a robust design, our separator offers exceptional reliability and minimized maintenance costs, ensuring continuous productivity and optimized operating costs.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert questions on centrifugal separators and milk skimming technologies

Hermetic separators operate without the introduction of air, using a closed inlet/outlet system that preserves the integrity of the fat globules. Unlike open separators, this design prevents oxidation, reduces foaming, and maintains the product's organoleptic qualities. The hermetic technology also allows for gentler processing of milk proteins and better preservation of the milk's natural characteristics.

The PRSTM (Protein Recovery System) utilizes an optimized sludge chamber with increased volume and a more powerful discharge mechanism. This design allows for more efficient ejection with an extended discharge time, reducing solid product losses by up to 95%. The system maintains continuous separation without interrupting the main flow, ensuring exceptional yield while preserving the protein quality of the skimmed milk.

Our separators achieve exceptional energy efficiency thanks to direct drive and integrated rotary pumps. Specific energy consumption ranges from 0.8 to 1.2 kWh per m³ of milk processed, which is 25-30% less than conventional technologies. The absence of an external recovery pump and the optimized frequency converter contribute to this performance, resulting in substantial annual savings for high-throughput installations.

Our airtight technology ensures a gradual acceleration of the milk to the separation speed, preventing mechanical shocks that could damage the fat globule membranes. The bowl and disc design creates an optimal centrifugal force gradient that gently separates the cream without breaking the globules. This preservation is crucial for the quality of the cream produced, its texture, and its emulsifying properties.

Our separators allow for extremely precise control of fat content with a tolerance of ±0.02%. The automatic control system adjusts the cream/skim milk ratio in real time based on online analyses. This precision is essential for product standardization and compliance with strict composition standards, particularly for milks with specific fat content (skimmed, semi-skimmed, whole) and creams of different categories.

Our splitters are designed for modular integration with standard CIP/SIP connectivity. We offer customized solutions tailored to existing spatial constraints and bandwidth requirements. The unified control interface enables integration with supervisory systems, while standardized communication protocols ensure interoperability. Our team provides complete installation, commissioning, and staff training for a seamless transition with minimal disruption to production.
