What is a cream separator and how does it work?A cream separator is a machine that uses centrifugal force to separate cream from whole milk. As the milk spins, the heavier skim milk moves outward while the lighter cream collects in the center. Tessa’s cream separator performs this process efficiently and hygienically using 3A-approved stainless steel construction.
-
What is the flow capacity of Tessa’s Cream Separator?The standard model processes from 100 gallons (350 liters) of milk per hour. It’s ideal for small and mid-size dairies, creameries, and goat farms. Higher-capacity models are available on request.
-
Is your cream separator 3A Sanitary certified?Yes. Tessa’s Cream Separator is fully certified under the 3A Sanitary Standard and complies with the U.S. Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). It also meets CSA requirements for use in Canada.
-
Can I use this machine with raw milk?Yes. Tessa’s separator is specifically designed for hygienic raw milk separation. The all-stainless steel build and smooth internal surfaces make it ideal for producers who prioritize safety, cleanliness, and milk integrity.
-
Is the separator easy to clean?Yes. The separator is designed for fast and easy manual cleaning. All parts are made of stainless steel and can be disassembled without tools. Smooth surfaces and an open-access design make daily cleaning quick and efficient — no CIP system required.
-
What kind of dairies use this machine?Our cream separator is used by farmstead creameries, goat milk producers, raw milk dairies, organic processors, and export-ready commercial dairy plants. It’s trusted by professionals who need certified performance.
