A method of operating a separator to disinfect raw milk or whey by operating the separator within a range of an optimal clarifying effect by recirculating a portion of a disinfected milk phase with an entraining liquid.

Method of operating a separator by recirculating an entraining liquid

A method of and device for manufacturing butter. A continuous-operation mechanical churn has at least one butter-making cylinder, a buttermilk extractor, and at least one squeeze-off. Once most of the buttermilk has been extracted, fragments chopped from a block of stored butter or pure fat are accordingly introduced into the remaining mass of grain and blended with it in one of the squeeze-offs and a homogeneous billet of butter is shaped out of the mixture. At least one chopper is accordingly associated with each block of butter or fat and located above the squeeze-off that is upstream in terms of the direction that the mass of grain moves in, and the chopper has a device for advancing the block that is being chopped from.

Device for manufacturing butter

A device for separating solids from liquids by means of a screen that inclines at an angle to the horizontal and is accommodated in a prescribed position within a screen housing. There is a product-delivery component with a feed pipe at the higher end of the screen and a receiving chamber with a drain pipe for the separated liquid below the screen. To ensure that the screen is uniformly loaded over its total effective width and that the quality of the separated solids will accordingly remain constant as the product and feed conditions vary, the screen housing is mounted in such a way that it can be pivoted around a horizontal axis in order to vary its angle of inclination to the horizontal.
