A method for producing butter in a buttermaking machine involves using a rotatable beater, in the buttermaking cylinder, to form butter grain and buttermilk with cream supplied to the cylinder. In the drum for the post-buttermaking process, a post-buttermaking process is performed, during which a butter grain size is adjusted. The butter grain is kneaded in the first press, which includes a hollow base body containing one or two screw conveyors, the speed of which can be regulated by a speed-regulated drive, and in addition, the basic water content of the butter is reduced and in the first mixing section, the cross-section of at least one outlet of a throttle device is modified, one or both of the steps and being carried out in an electronically self-regulating manner.

A method of preventing blockages of flow paths of a separator, the separator processing a fat-containing product such as milk. The method steps include determining a concentration of the fat content of an outflowing product phase from the separator to detect an imminent clogging, and shifting a separation zone in a separator drum of the separator for a defined minimum time period by changing operating parameters.

A self-dumping separator having a vertical axis of rotation and having a drum () into which a disc stack () made up of a plurality of conical discs () is inserted, a centrifuge feed being introducible via an inlet pipe () and a distributor () into the centrifuge space (), which is enclosed by the drum (), at least two or more fins () being arranged in an annular solids space () that is arranged radially outside the disc stack (), the clearance between the fins () and the inner wall of the drum () being at least three millimeters.

A method of precipitating cheese fines from whey by using a self-emptying centrifuge, wherein the clarified whey is continuously extracted and the cheese fines are intermittently extracted. The cheese fines are intercepted by a solids collector and rinse is supplied to the solids collector. The rinse will not change the structure of the cheese fines and clarified and heated whey is accordingly employed as a rinse in the centrifuge.
