Whole Milk Separator

Separators run at a high RPM. There can be a number of reasons.

is there anything you add prior to separation to say for an example to standardize your raw milk?

Yeah sometimes Permeate or retentate (from skim milk) is added no powders are added.

Well, that put a squash on my suspicions.

dont know what type of separator, make, size, year.p. So can't help you much. But did you look at any blogs? Even the manufacturers webb site... keep in mind, company's may have merged.

Make the call.
