okay,big question.... who makes a cream seperator thats acceptable for selling cream and products to gen public,one that passes usda inspection,i know it has to be food grade stainless steel, the bowel and guts, any clues....intended to process 400lbs of milk...
 
The late model McCormick Deerings should work they are even self washing and if you use a
antibacterial soap when washing it you won't have any problems.......We had an amish farmer in the
area that had bacterial problems with his milk and they were going to stop picking up his milk and
he tried every kind of soap he could fine, and nothing worked, then the next time they picked up his
milk and tested he had no bacterial in his milk....so the state inspector came out to see him and
the asked what he did......and he said he used some antibacterial dish soap....If you want the model
numbers I can get them for you. Where are you located?

Kevin, that sounds pretty unlikely to me. You can't become an inspector without knowing about sanitizers and any inspector would be able to rattle right off the top of his head the names of the three leading brands of sanitizers. Just everyday very common stuff.
 
I have a very nice DeLaval cream separator that is
all stainless steel. There is no longer farm
separated cream here, but these DeLaval
separators always passed inspection, and did a
very good job. My dad shipped cream for 25 years,
but his old separator wasn?t stainless steel, and
would never pass today. All milk contact surfaces
must be , glass, food grade plastic/rubber or
stainless steel now.

Have you checked with Microdairy Designs?

Very helpful people there.
 
Hi Bill. About 15 years ago I did a little consulting work for Hershey when it was still in Smith Falls. At the time, they wanted 316 stainless which seems
like the best food grade their is per this link. Identifying it might be harder in a used separator. It does seem like the second best, 409 is magnetic, so if
it is stainless and not magnetic, that might be the ticket. https://www.marlinwire.com/blog/what-is-the-best-food-grade-stainless-steel
 
(quoted from post at 17:15:24 10/19/19) So a old delavel number 12 hand crank with nickel plate won?t work ?

Dennis, I think that maybe 45 years ago when I started in foodservice sanitation there may have been a few nickel plated pieces still in use but I bet that I haven't seen one in use in 35 years. The problem is that the plating wears off leaving illegal steel. You need to find a newer one.
 

That is...unless the Amish Farmer was actually treating his milk with the dish soap.

We had neighbors that swore by putting a little dose of Clorox in their tank. Watched them do it. Said that it kept their bacteria numbers down.

Now...I have no idea if it really worked. Seems as though, if you put enough of it in to kill the bacteria, the milk would never set cheese at the processing plant.

But, seeing them do that has been part of the inspiration for my wife and I to keep our little herd of cows and use their milk for our household. (we don't "ship" milk on the truck anymore... you ship for a buck a gallon and buy it back at three or four bucks a gallon)

Anyway, I like to know what's been added to my milk.
