Centrifugal separator


Whey drainage by centrifugal separation

Centrifugal separator


As a more modern and industrial alternative, the technology using the centrifuge separation to separate curd from whey constitutes a true improvement in the continuous production of fresh-cheese.

This technique allows to achieve high-rate and highly-automated modern units.

As it is an airtight machine working in continuous, the bactoriology safety is perfectly controlled.

Working principle :
  • The coagulum is poured in continuous in a bowl turning at high speed thanks to a volumetric pump.
  • This bowl is separated inside by a serie of plates and has small exhaust nozzles.
  • Under the effect of the centrifuge force, the whey (light phase) goes to the axle of the bowl from where it is recovered by a turbine which forced it back outside under pressure.
  • The drained curd (heavy phase) is thrown to the wall of the bowl by nozzles and falls in a pump sending it to a cooler.
