Lattomatic enables accurate dosing of cream to the skimmed milk flow and thus, continuous production of fat-standardized milk. Surplus cream is discharged separately. With its high level of automation, parameter adjustments are possible during operation without stopping the process. The touchscreen panel is user-friendly, easy to set up, and allows direct control of all operations. Signal exchange and operating modes (CIP, water, product) can be changed easily using the control system. Lattomatic can be used to upgrade milk skimming separators and be integrated into existing systems as well as new installations.

Gentle treatment of the milk to avoid damaging the fat globules is an essential requirement that Frautech Separators can guarantee thanks to the optimized design in feeding the separator. Under optimal feeding and process conditions, the residual fat in skimmed milk is always at the lowest possible level, i.e. 0.05% or less.

Milk fat standardization with Frautech cream separators can be achieved with the built-in standardizing apparatus that allows fat re-mixing into the skimmed milk for manual adjustment.

How the Frautech Cream Separator Works:

• Whole milk or whey is fed under pressure to the separator.
• It then flows smoothly into the bowl through the feed pipe and the distributor and starts rising through the rising channels.
• Due to the centrifugal force and the milk’s higher specific weight, it is forced towards the periphery of the bowl while the cream is concentrated in the central area.
• Both skimmed milk and cream rise along their respective paths and are pumped out or leave the separator, respectively, through enclosed pipes.
• Solids are also subjected to the action of the centrifugal force and are pushed to the periphery of the bowl, accumulating in the area that holds the solids, and automatically discharged at preset intervals.

How the Frautech Bacteria Removal Separator Works:

• The milk/whey is fed under pressure through an enclosed pipe.
• It then flows smoothly into the bowl through the feed pipe and the distributor.
• The bacteria and other solids subject to the action of the centrifugal force are forced towards the periphery of the bowl and accumulate in the solids acceleration zone before being automatically discharged at
  pre-set intervals.
• The clarified milk/whey rises through the disc stack and up the centripetal pump that discharges it through enclosed piping.
• The concentrate rises above the upper disc to reach the centripetal pump.
• The concentrate can either be discharged or recirculated into the bowl to further concentrate the bacteria for discharge.

Why use a clarifier for your brewery?

• Reduced Oxygen Pickup – The KO₂ system reduces oxygen pick-up.
• Higher yields per tank – Up to 10% higher yields compared to traditional filtration and settling methods.
• Faster Tank Turnaround – Reduced processing times when compared to traditional filtration and settling methods.
• Spend Less On Consumables – The consumption of filter aids is minimized or eliminated, and your filter shelf life is extended.
• Low total cost of ownership – you’ll save energy with the variable speed belt drive, and the low cost of spare parts and ease of maintenance.
• Very short return on investment – Typically less than 24 months.

A milk separator (also called a clarifier) is a very important step in milk processing when aiming for high-quality dairy products. The purpose of milk clarification is to improve the milk quality by removing solid impurities such as dirt particles, somatic cells, and bacteria.
