Milk cream separation system for cheese production
In the dairy industry, achieving consistent separation of cream from milk is critical for the production of high-quality cheese such as Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano. Traditional separation methods often struggle with efficiency and accuracy, impacting both yield and quality control.

Achieve precise cream separation with automated control.
The Milk Cream Separation System by Progema, a brand of Omnia Technologies, is designed specifically for efficient separation of cream from milk in cheese production. The system uses advanced automation software to monitor and control the separation process based on real-time data from load cells and fat content sensors. This ensures continuous and accurate monitoring, allowing for process interruption at the precise fat content level specified. It features separate models tailored for Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano production, utilizing closed stacked tanks with large lateral vents for aeration. During the separation phase, mobile lids are used for easy CIP cleaning. The system’s spill phases are meticulously controlled to ensure uninterrupted operation and maximum yield. The Progema system is compatible with existing equipment, reducing the need for additional investments and can operate under various environmental conditions without extra protective measures.
