.because no other raw material permits such a wide range of uses as milk! The variety of milk and milk by-products is virtually infinite, as can be seen if we look at the refrigerated shelves of supermarkets.

Dairies are high-tech operations that process raw milk into a wide range of products. To remain competitive they are supported by the latest separating technology. Westfalia Separator Food Tec sets standards in terms of quality and efficiency.

Gentle treatment guarantees top-quality products

Specifically for efficient processing of the raw material milk, Westfalia Separator Food Tec has developed a range of advanced procedures that enable previously unattainable results to be achieved. These range from a particularly gentle feed into the separators right through to special and innovative processing concepts.

Westfalia Separator PROTEIN-PLUS

The Westfalia Separator PROTEIN-PLUS method allows a higher protein yield as a result of extremely high separating efficiency, thus permitting optimised solid concentration. Therefore, with the PROTEIN-PLUS method, it is possible to recover valuable protein that could not previously be used in this way. A further advantage is a significant reduction in fresh water requirement.

Warm Today, Cold Tomorrow - PROCOOL Does Both

Cold milk skimming is becoming increasingly important, particularly in warmer regions of the world. It offers high microbiological safety with optimum product quality. With the Westfalia Separator Food Tec PROCOOL method, it is possible to switch from warm to cold milk separation with the same separator. For dairies, this results in a significant reduction in costs due to less machinery and minimal energy input. It also provides the advantages of high flexibility and a more rapid response to customer wishes.
