Trends in Dairy Separation
► Application− AMF (Butter Oil)− Higher Concentration of Whey− Quality as a Differentiator
► Operation− More with less− Sustainability

General
Bactofugation
• Sensitive to temperature • Sensitive to pH/salt/moisture content• Some cells create spores to survive
Spores • Resistant to temperature (>100C)
• Resistant to pH/salt/moisture
• Spore will revert to vegetative cell when conditions improve (time and conditions vary)
Bacteria
General
Bactofugation
Purpose► Spore and bacteria removal
Applications► Improving status of poor milk quality► Cheese milk pre-treatment► Milk with Extended Shelf Life► Milk for powder► Whey treatment

A new technological leap delivering higher capacity separation for milk
► The first major breakthrough in separator-disc technology in over 130 years
► Enabling higher capacity for milk separation and better performance
► Rigid and Robust one piece design

Polynode discs
/ 7
HIGHER CAPACITYPolynode technology allows for more discs in the stack = higher capacity
with maintained separation efficiency
REDUCED HEIGHTPolynodes are 35% lower than traditional spacers, allowing more discs in the stack.
Polynodes Traditional spacer
MORE, EVENLY SPACEDImproved stability by increased number of evenly distributed polynode spacers.
SMALL SHAPEThe tapered shape of polynodes means reduced point of contact per disc by 94%.
EQUIDISTANT DISCSThe many and evenly distributed polynodes secures equidistance between discs.

EncaptTM – inspired by low friction in space
► The closer to Earth – the higher the pressure► Lowering the atmospheric pressure reduces
the friction► Less air friction around the bowl means less
energy required to spin

Savings in kW
Semi-open separator
30 years of AirTight and EncaptTM =
4 080 000 kWhWhat would that mean to you?
20 hours of run time/day; 340 production days/year; hot milk skimming at 55 000 l/h with AirTight and EncaptTM –including feed and booster pumps
