- Description:
- DeLaval Separator
The DeLaval separators were the �Cadillacs� of cream separators. Working by centrifugal force, it was driven by a hand crank on this model, introduced in 1887. The milk was fed into the large bowl, passed through a series of thin discs which separated the heavier skim-milk particles from the lighter cream particles, then directed each to an appropriate container.
The DeLaval separator is generally recognized as having been one of the greatest factors in modernizing dairy production. Unfortunately, many of these cream separators were recycled in the steel drives held during WWII - Collection Name:
