Industrial Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator for Milk Separation

Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator Product Introduction

The Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator is an advanced high-speed separation machine designed for continuous liquid-liquid and liquid-solid separation in dairy processing applications. By utilizing centrifugal force generated by a high-speed rotating drum with specially designed disc stacks, the equipment efficiently separates components with different densities.

In dairy production, the separator is commonly used for milk fat separation, cream recovery, whey clarification, whey protein separation, and casein processing. The closed hygienic design ensures that all product-contact parts are made from stainless steel, meeting strict food processing requirements.

The machine adopts a compact structure with a short body design, reducing installation space while maintaining high processing capacity. The optimized drum structure provides excellent degreasing and clarification performance, allowing skim milk fat content to be reduced to approximately 0.015–0.05%.

Equipped with frequency conversion starting, gear transmission, pressure regulation system, CIP self-cleaning capability, and automatic PLC-controlled discharge options, the Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator offers dairy manufacturers a reliable solution for improving product quality, production efficiency, and raw material utilization.

Working principle

The Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator uses high-speed centrifugal force to separate components with different densities. Milk or dairy liquid enters the rotating bowl, where disc stacks create a large separation area. Cream, skim milk, and solid particles are separated and discharged through different outlets.
