This separator, the Etonia Red 5, was sold through the Eaton's catalogue. Continuous centrifugal cream separators, developed in Europe and introduced to Canada in the 1880s, transformed dairying. Early machines had to be stopped to remove the seperated cream and skim milk. In 1878, Gustav De Laval of Sweden developed a continous flow cream separator featuring an airtight bowl that contained the milk and that rotated at high speed. Centrifugal force moved the skim milk to the outside of the container, leaving the lighter cream in the centre for removal while the machine was in operation. Hand operated cream separtors began appearing on Canadian dairy farms in the 1890s and their operation became part of the daily routine of farm women and children for many decades. Farm separtion of cream ensured that farmers for full value for the butterfat prodcution of their dairy herds, while the separators higher butterfat yields stimlated the growth of creameries.
Function
TO SEPARATE CREAM FROM MILK BY APPLICATION OF A CENTRIFUGAL SYSTEM
Technical
This separator uses conical metal discs, a refinement introduced to the centrifugal separator by De Laval in the 1890s. This innovation so increased efficiency that only 0.05% of fat remained in the skim milk.
