Skimming and standardization of milk

Probably no other raw material is as versatile as milk. Even simple drinking milk is available with different fat contents. And once you start to consider milk products such as butter, cheese, quark, yoghurt and so forth, it becomes apparent just how wide-ranging the product variety is.
Clarification and skimming of whey

Equally wide-ranging are the fields of application for decanters and separators from Westfalia Separator. The applications include skimming, standardization and bacterial clarification of milk or the clarification of whey, the production of butter, lactose or casein. Special processes in whey processing also form part of our customer-focussed solutions.

The Soft Approach

Gentle treatment of the milk is a crucial factor for economical processing of the

raw material and for the quality of the byproducts. Which is why separators from Westfalia Separator are equipped with the soft-stream feed system. Further patents such as the continuous recirculation of transportation liquid during the bacterial clarification of milk and whey illustrate the depth of our know-how in the dairy engineering sector.

Success All Down The Line

Westfalia Separator believes comprehensive support for our customers also means developing a comprehensive product range. Thats why we do not only deliver stand-alone-separators for integration in existing plants, but also turnkey process lines for quark production, for instance, or for the recovery of lactose or casein.

Quality at a Glance
Skimming / Standardisation of milk
Raw milk with a fat content between 3% and 7% is the source material for a variety of milk products. Gentle skimming of the milk is the key criterion for optimum further processing. The soft-stream separator generation developed by Westfalia Separator AG assures gentle product treatment and optimum skimming efficiency. Both in cold milk skimming between 4C and 10C as well as hot milk treatment between 52C and 55C.

Production of butter

Clarification and skimming of whey

The growing quantities of whey spun off in the production of milk products such as cheese, casein and soft cheese has led to the development of efficient processes in recent years. These processes enable profitable further processing of the whey to whey concentrate, whey protein concentrate, whey powder or lactose. For optimum and economical processing, however, the whey must be rid of cheese fines and milk fat. This job is carried out efficiently and reliably by separators manufactured by Westfalia Separator.

Bacterial clarification of milk

Germs bring about a deterioration in the quality of milk products. This potential problem is nipped in the bud by reliable centrifugal separation of even the smallest spore formers. Bacteria removing separators are likewise equipped with the gentle soft-stream feed system. It is gentle on the milk while at the same time ensuring a high degree of separation of the microorganisms. And then there is the patented recirculation of transportation liquid. Youll have no more hassle with spore formers.

Soft cheese
Following the fast food boom of the eighties, the trend is increasingly towards a healthy eating lifestyle. Soft cheese products are therefore high in demand. Thermo quark lines with the new type

KDB/KDC separators make sure there are no problems with shelf life safety. The additional recovery of the whey proteins boosts the yield by a further 10-12%. You get more from your milk and your quark tastes the same every time.

Butter / butteroil
Butter with its high milk fat content is a significant energy provider. The butter produced from sweet or sour cream is also rich in the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E. Westfalia Separator has been a leader in butter and butteroil production for decades. Todays generation of buttermaking machines convince thanks to a broad capacity spectrum and the high degree of automation.

Lactose
Separators employed in the DPL process

The whey by-product lactose is in great demand as a high-grade food additive and basic material for the pharmaceutical industry. Westfalia Separator applies its process engineering know-how for the efficient recovery of lactose. Concentration, crystallisation and washing techniques are used for economical and reliable recovery of lactose in the processing lines.

Casein / caseinate
Casein is used in a wide range of applications. It is used as a bonding agent for paint or in glue production and also finds application as a base substance for foodstuffs and drugs. Westfalia Separator has developed turnkey process lines which produce high-grade, low-moisture casein in a closed system.

Special processes
Westfalia Separator offers individual solutions for special requirements in milk processing. Special processes have been developed for defatting whey, fractionation of whey proteins and calcium phosphate separation which assure economical processing with a uniformly high quality. We have individual solutions customised to your products too.
