Electric Cream Separator

cream separator, machine for separating and removing cream from whole milk; its operation is based on the fact that skim milk (milk with no butterfat) is heavier than cream. Most separators are controlled by computers and can produce milk of almost any fat content. Cream separation is a phenomenon by which the milk is separated in to cream and skim milk by centrifugal force. The centrifugal force is thousand times greater than gravitational force. The milk enters the rapidly revolving bowl of the separator. The main parts of a cream separator are: Supply can/milk basin, milk faucet, regulating chamber with float, cream screw and skim milk screw, cream spout and skim milk spout, Separator bowl (consisting of bowl shell, milk distributor, discs and rubber ring), spindle, gears, crank handle and bowl nut.
