FEATURES DETAILS

Dual operating system

Our separator offers two operating modes: the traditional two-phase system for maximum reduction of bacterial load, and the single-phase system with recirculation of the bacterial phase milk to minimize product loss. The operator can freely choose the system best suited to their specific needs.

Gentle processing that preserves the qualities of the milk

La conception avancée du bol et des assiettes garantit un traitement extrêmement doux du lait, préservant l'intégrité des globules gras et évitant toute dénaturation des protéines. Cette approche maintient les qualités organoleptiques naturelles du produit tout en assurant une élimination microbiologique optimale.

Automatic expulsion of solids

The periodic solids expulsion system ensures uninterrupted production, optimizing throughput and reducing downtime. Expulsion is automatically controlled based on the solids load, guaranteeing consistent separation efficiency.

Areas of application

Our bactofugation separator is suitable for various applications in the dairy industry:

ESL (Extended Shelf Life) Milk - Ideal complement to pasteurization for extended shelf life
UHT milk - Reduction of heat-resistant spores
Cheeses - Elimination of anaerobic spores to prevent ripening defects
Milk powders - Microbiological quality improvement for critical applications
Whey proteins - Production of ingredients for infant food

Advantages of bactofugation

Improvement of microbiological quality

La bactofugation permet une réduction significative des micro-organismes thermorésistants, complétant efficacement les traitements thermiques traditionnels et garantissant une qualité microbiologique supérieure des produits finis.

Lifespan extension

En éliminant les bactéries et spores responsables de l'altération, notre séparateur contribue significativement à l'augmentation de la durée de conservation des produits laitiers, répondant aux exigences de la distribution moderne.

Flexibility and operational efficiency

Easy integration into existing lines and the two operating systems offer maximum flexibility, allowing producers to adapt the process to their specific needs while minimizing product loss.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert questions on separators for bacteria removal and bactofugation technologies

Bactofugation is a mechanical centrifugation process that physically removes bacteria and spores, whereas pasteurization uses heat to destroy microorganisms. Bactofugation specifically eliminates heat-resistant spores that survive conventional heat treatments. Unlike pasteurization, which can alter sensory properties, bactofugation fully preserves the organoleptic qualities of milk while offering superior microbial reduction for resistant spores and bacteria.

Our separator utilizes the centrifugal force generated by high rotational speeds (6,000-8,500 rpm), creating up to 10,000 times the force of Earth's gravity. Bacteria, spores, and microorganisms, being denser than milk, are propelled to the periphery of the bowl where they are automatically collected and removed. This physical separation eliminates over 80% of the total bacterial load, 95% of aerobic spores, and 98% of anaerobic spores without any heat treatment, thus preserving all the milk's natural qualities.

Our separator offers two operating modes: the traditional two-phase system for maximum reduction of bacterial load, ideal for products with high microbiological requirements, and the single-phase system that recycles the concentrated bacterial phase back into the raw milk, thus reducing product losses to as little as 0.5%. This flexibility allows operators to adapt the process according to the specifications of the final product, optimizing either microbiological quality or economic yield, depending on production needs.

Bactofugation significantly extends shelf life by specifically eliminating heat-resistant bacterial spores responsible for delayed spoilage. Combined with ESL pasteurization, it allows for a shelf life of 30 days at 4-6°C. For UHT milk, it improves long-term stability by preventing spore germination defects during storage. In cheese production, it eliminates anaerobic spores responsible for ripening defects, ensuring consistent quality throughout storage.

Our separation technology utilizes an optimized hydraulic design for the bowl and plates, minimizing shear and mechanical impact on the fat globules. The aerodynamic profile of the components and precise rotation speed control ensure exceptionally gentle processing. Laboratory tests confirm that less than 0.1% of the fat globules undergo alteration, thus preserving the native structure of the milk fat, essential for the organoleptic qualities and stability of the finished products.
