Dewatering decanter range completed
Westfalia Separator announces the launch of the new UCD 345 dewatering decanter, aimed primarily at the municipal waste water treatment plants or for use in larger industrial waste water facilities
The Procool separation system means skimming can be carried out at temperatures of between 4C and 7C instead of the normal 52C to 55C.
The cost savings resulting from this reduction in energy use can be considerable.
The maintenance of the milk at low temperatures also means that micro-organism growth is minimised with a subsequent reduction in microbiological risks and potential degradation of the final product, particularly important for specialist milk products which do not go through a pasteurisation process.
As milk proteins are damaged by heat, the Westfalia Separator Procool system of cold milk skimming offers high quality, pristine end products which are vital to meet the demands for quality cream products and milk powder.
The Procool system operates with a belt drive unlike the more common gear drive, offering lower service costs and energy consumption and the ability to handle high throughput capacities.
The system can also operate with hot or cold milk offering the user both process options depending on the end product requirement, with a single machine.
