Component List:
- Motor Unit: The red base containing the motor and power switch. Features a solid cast iron bottom for stability.
- Drum: The central rotating component where separation occurs.
- Cream Mouth: Outlet for separated cream.
- Skim Milk Mouth: Outlet for separated skim milk.
- Nozzle Seat: Supports the skim milk mouth.
- Funnel: Directs milk into the drum.
- Buoy: Regulates milk flow and contains the cream density adjustment screw.
- Separating Bowl (Milk Pot): 5-liter capacity bowl for holding raw milk.
- Switch Rod: Controls the flow of milk from the separating bowl to the drum.
4. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to correctly assemble your VEVOR Milk Cream Separator:
- Place the motor unit (red base) on a stable, level surface.
- Carefully place the drum onto the motor shaft, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Attach the cream mouth and skim milk mouth to their respective positions on the main body, ensuring they are securely fitted.
- Place the nozzle seat over the drum.
- Position the funnel on top of the nozzle seat.
- Insert the buoy into the center of the funnel.
- Place the large separating bowl on top of the assembled components.
- Insert the switch rod into the designated opening in the separating bowl.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure before plugging in the device.
5. Operation
Operating the VEVOR Milk Cream Separator involves a few simple steps to achieve efficient milk and cream separation.
Image: Visual guide for the three-step operation process.
Basic Operation Steps:
- Ensure the separator is fully assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet.
- Pour the raw milk into the separating bowl.
- Press the power switch on the motor unit to turn on the machine. Ensure the milk pot switch (switch rod) is in the closed position initially.
- Allow the machine to run for approximately 30 seconds to reach full operating speed.
- After 30 seconds, turn on the milk pot switch (move the switch rod to the open position) to allow milk to flow into the separation drum.
- Place appropriate containers under the cream mouth and skim milk mouth to collect the separated products.
- Once all the milk has been processed, turn off the milk pot switch, then turn off the power switch on the motor unit.
Adjusting Cream Density:
The fat content of the cream can be adjusted to your preference. This adjustment is typically made via a screw located on the buoy assembly.
Image: Instructions for adjusting cream density.
- Turn off the power switch to stop the separation process.
- After the separator has completely stopped rotating, carefully disassemble the upper parts (separating bowl, buoy, funnel, nozzle seat, drum).
- Locate the adjustment screw on the buoy. Turning the screw to the right will result in thinner cream, while turning it to the left will produce thicker cream.
- Reassemble the separator and test the cream density with a small batch of milk.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your milk cream separator.
- After Each Use: Immediately after each use, disassemble all parts that come into contact with milk.
- Washing: Wash all stainless steel components (separating bowl, funnel, buoy, drum, cream mouth, skim milk mouth, nozzle seat) with warm water and a mild, food-safe detergent. Use the provided brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Rinsing: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue.
- Drying: Dry all components completely before reassembly or storage to prevent water spots and bacterial growth. Air drying is recommended, or use a clean, dry cloth.
- Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit (red base) with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water.
- Storage: Store the clean and dry separator in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and dust.
7. Troubleshooting
