Abstract
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.
