Apparatus for eliminating butyric acid spores by skimming the milk

摘要

To provide a high degree of elimination of the butyric acid spores concentrated in a more or less small volume of supernatant, the cream separating tank (10) is equipped with a collecting device consisting of a plurality of cups (26, 28) regularly distributed over the cross-section of the tank, all at the same level, and connected to an upper vertical tube (20) fitting telescopically in a fixed lower vertical tube (22) which leads off outside the tank, and with a mechanism (36-40) allowing the height of the cups in the tank to be modified.
