Description
The separator is an equipment used for separating liquids of different densities or for the clarification of a product containing suspended solids. This is due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the central part of the unit, which make this separation possible. The centrifugal action causes the portion of the milk with the highest density to fill the space near the edge of the bowl and by default, the cream having a lower density fills the center of the bowl. Furthermore, the conical discs stacked one on the other and located in the separation zone of the two liquids of different density prevent turbulent flow of the cream to the outlet. Indeed, the laminar flow with little agitation improves the separation efficiency.
Application
Milk separation.
