SKIMMING PROCEDURE
Best skimming results are achieved if you start to skim immediately after milking. If milk is cooled, you have to warm it up to
temperature between 32 to 45ºC. You can not skim milk with temperature lower than 30ºC. When the milk is properly warmed
up, pour it in the container.
1.
Take the handle and start to turn it. When you turn the handle 50 to 60 times in minute (one turn per second) the bowl has the
right speed.
2.
Then you are allowed to turn closing cork to open position. The end of the closing cork is turned to the cut (tooth) in the cont
-
ainer and flow is opened.
If milk is coming out of the housing hole means, that:
• You have opened closing cork before the motor had reached working speed,
• Top bowl nut was not fixed enough, or
• Rubber washer is placed badly or it is destroyed.
When this is the case, close the closing cork, stop turn the handle, wait that the bowl has no revolution and correct the problem.
3.
After you have finished skimming procedure pour approximately ½ liter of skimmed milk back into milk container. This will
clean the rest of cream in the top bowl.
4.
After all procedures, close the closing cork, stop to turn the handle and wait until the bowl stops.
BEFORE EACH SKIMMING PROCEDURE, THE BOWL MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY.
CLOSING CORK MUST ALWAYS BE CLOSED BEFORE YOU STOP THE DEVICE.
ALWAYS CHECK IF RUBBER WASHER IS DAMAGED OR TOO MUCH EXTENDED. IN SUCH CASE YOU HAVE TO
REPLACE IT WITH NEW ONE.
SKIMMING REGULATION
The cream separator is factory adjusted, so you get around 8 to 9% of cream from whole
milk volume at milk temperature 35ºC. If you want different density or volume of cream, you
can adjust hexagonal adjusting screw (placed in the plastic partition in top bowl upper part).
•
If you want more density cream – smaller volume, you have to turn it towards right (clock
-
wise).
•
If you want less density cream – higher volume, you have to turn it towards left (counter
clockwise). In most cases it is enough to turn adjusting screw for ¼ of the rotation.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE THAT NOT FIX THE ADJUSTING SCREW TOO DEEP, BECAUSE YOU CAN HARM THE
SCREW COIL! YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE NOT TO UNSCREW THE REGULATION SCREW TOO MUCH. IF YOU
HAVE DONE SO, YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS BY DISASSEMBLING THE PLASTIC PARTITION AND THE TOP
BOWL UPPER PART.
IF YOU HAVE FINISHED WITH THE SKIMMING PROCEDURE AND ALREADY STOPPED THE DEVICE, YOU MUST
NOT TURN THE HANDLE BEFORE YOU HAVE CLEANDED THE TOP BOWL FROM THE MILK, WHICH WAS LEFT
FROM PREVIOUS SKIMMING.
