Abstract
A continuous churn for making sweet-cream or sour-cream butter consists of an initial churning cylinder that contains a beater and creates butter grain and buttermilk, of a rotating second churning cylinder that is downstream of the initial cylinder and incorporates an afterchurning section, of a strainer-like section for separating the butter grain from the buttermilk, and of a washing section. To increase the yield of butterfat in the afterchurning section and decrease fluctuations in the butter's water content, a back-up disk is positioned between the afterchurning section and the separation section of the second churning cylinder.
