Milk Cream Separator

Milk is put in a closed container in a big centrifuge machine and the container is spun at a very high speed. The centrifugal forces act on milk and separate the mixture into a cream that is lighter thus floats on top and skimmed milk which is at the bottom. Then cream can be separated from the milk.A separator is a centrifugal device that separates milk into cream and skimmed milk. Separation was commonly performed on farms in the past. Most farmers milked a few cows, usually by hand, and separated milk. Some of the skimmed milk was consumed while the rest was used to feed calves and pigs.
