Canada

Mechanical separation allowed dairy farmers to increase their yield of butterfat—and income. Hand-cranked mechanical separators began appearing on Canadian farms in the 1890s and were commonly used by farm women and children as part of their labour routine. Canadian manufacturers, such as The National Manufacturing Co. and the Renfrew Machinery Co, produced mechanical separators for the domestic market.

Function

Mechanical cream separators used centrifugal force to separate cream and milk.

Technical

Before the invention of the cream separator in the late 19th century, cream was hand skimmed from milk. First developed in Europe in the 1870s, Carl de Laval perfected the continuous flow centrifugal separator in 1879. De Laval later introduced other technical innovations, including conical discs that increased separation efficiency. The "Junior 1" cream separator is an example of a mechanical separator from the company that pioneered centrifugal separation. The Junior 1 model was a small tabletop separator. Avant l'apparition de l'écrémeuse mécanique à la fin du XIXe siècle, on séparait la crème du lait à la main. En 1879, le Suédois Carl de Laval a inventé un système mécanique utilisant la force centrifuge pour séparer le lait de la crème. La séparation mécanique a permis aux producteurs laitiers d’augmenter le rendement en matière grasse butyrique – et leurs revenus. Les écrémeuses mécaniques à manivelle ont commencé à arriver dans les fermes canadiennes dans les années 1890, et ce sont généralement les femmes et les enfants qui avaient pour tâche de les actionner. La [[ Junior 1]] est une écrémeuse mécanique fabriquée par l’entreprise qui a été la pionnière de la séparation de la crème et du lait par centrifuge. Ce petit modèle a été conçu pour être posé sur une table.
