Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of whey degreasing and separation, and in particular to a whey degreasing and separation device. Background Art

[0002] Whey usually refers to the by-product produced in the process of cheese production from milk. Whey is a green, translucent liquid separated after the milk coagulates into curds during the cheese production process. With the development of new technologies, whey and whey protein have become high-value and widely used food raw materials.

[0003] In the subsequent processing of whey, the fat inside it needs to be removed. Heating can make the fat in the whey expand and reduce the viscosity of the emulsion, causing the fat globules to float up and form "milk skin". This is because the milk fat expands when heated, the fat globule membrane protein denatures, and the unprotected fat particles condense into a membrane, while absorbing casein and whey protein, eventually forming a stable milk skin. The staff can remove the fat after separating the formed milk skin, but the formed milk skin has a soft texture and is difficult for the staff to separate. In addition, when the whey is skimmed, some fine particles will be attached to the whey when it is separated from the milk. The fat inside these particles cannot be quickly separated during the skimming process, reducing the skimming efficiency. Therefore, a whey skimming separation device is urgently needed to solve the existing problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a whey degreasing separation device in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
