Milk skimming separator

Achieve superior separation efficiency and reduced energy consumption in dairy processing with seamless integration into existing production lines, ensuring optimal quality and flexibility for a variety of milk-based and plant-based products.

Separates Milk and Cream Efficiently

The Tetra Pak® Separator offers an exceptional solution for dairy, cheese, and plant-based product industries. Known for its AirTight design, this equipment ensures high separation efficiency by preventing air entry which could disrupt the milk skimming process. It utilizes hermetic inlet and outlet seals combined with a gentle hollow spindle that maintains the integrity of fat globules, optimizing separation without excessive energy consumption. Capable of processing between 7,000 to 75,000 liters of hot milk per hour, it adapts to both hot and cold separation needs seamlessly, offering production flexibility. Materials like Duplex and Super Duplex steel enhance corrosion resistance, guaranteeing durability with a 10-year bowl guarantee. Integrating easily into automated production lines, it features an Encapt™ technology option that reduces energy use by up to 40%. Customizable with options such as the Polynode Disc and INSTAL module, Tetra Pak extends the equipment’s capability and ease of installation, providing comprehensive engineering support for tailored configurations.
