FAQS ABOUT CREAM SEPARATOR
What is a cream separator?
A cream separator, also known as a milk separator, is a specialized machine designed to efficiently separate whole milk into two distinct components: cream and skimmed milk. By using centrifugal force, this device spins the milk rapidly, causing the heavier cream to rise to the top while the lighter skimmed milk is collected separately. This process not only helps in obtaining rich, creamy milk but also provides a lower-fat milk option. Cream separators are essential tools for dairy processing, allowing you to enjoy both creamy and skimmed milk products from the same batch.
When Might I Need a Cream Separator?
A cream separator could be essential in the following scenarios:
- If you operate a micro-dairy and need a compact, efficient cream separator.
- If you’re a small processor intending to purchase raw milk, process it into cream, sour cream, and skimmed milk, and then sell these products locally.
- If you’re a cheesemaker, you know that different cheeses require milk with specific butterfat contents. For instance, making Camembert cheese requires higher fat content in the milk, while hard cheeses need milk with less fat.
Can I Collect Cream by Letting It Rise to the Surface of the Milk without Using a Cream Separator?
Yes, you can collect cream this way, but it's less efficient, particularly with goat's or sheep's milk, which is naturally homogenized. Without a cream separator, you may end up leaving some cream in the milk and collecting a cream with lower butterfat content than you would with a separator.
Is It Profitable to Process Whole Milk into Cream, Sour Cream, and Skimmed Milk?
This depends on your local market, but generally, it is more profitable than selling raw milk to large processing companies. Consider the following:
- Is 100 litres of whole raw milk worth more or less than 35 litres of 10% cream and 65 litres of skimmed milk?
- Is it more profitable to sell a customer just 1 litre of milk, or to offer 1 litre of milk, 200 ml of cream (which is equivalent to 0.7-2 litres of milk depending on the cream's butterfat content), and 200 ml of sour cream (another 0.7-2 litres of milk depending on the sour cream’s fat content)?
Typically, the latter option is more profitable. Dairy products usually fetch higher prices than raw milk, and selling a combination of products can boost your overall sales. Instead of selling just 1 litre of milk, you could end up selling at least 2.5 litres and potentially up to 5 litres of products.
Can a Cream Separator be Used for More than Just Making Cream, Sour cream, and Skimmed milk?
While cream, sour cream, and skimmed milk are the primary products you can create with a cream separator, there are additional possibilities:
- With a butter churn, you can transform cream into butter.
- By using dairy cultures, you can also produce cheese or yogurt from skimmed milk.
If you process milk daily, consider our milk pasteurizers—they can significantly simplify your routine.
