About this object
The first cream separator used in Australia was brought to the country in 1883 by Mr. D. L. Dymock on behalf of the Fresh Food and Ice Company located in Mittagong. The Pioneer Dairy Company, as it was known, was erected in 1883 and opened the following year. In fact two separators were introduced at the time, both by the Fresh Food and Ice Company.
These early machines were worked with a hand crank to initiate the centrifugal process, though this source of power was later replaced with steam turbine engines and later still with the widespread availability of electricity. The invention of the first continuous cream separator by De Laval was an important development which had strong impacts on the growth of the dairy industry in Australia.
The centrifugal process separated the milk into cream (made up of denser fat globules) and skim milk (which was retained to feed pigs). The introduction of the mechanical cream separator transformed the dairy industry. It enabled farmers to more rapidly (and in larger quantities) process their milk into cream.

in relation to your question kirsty you have to wind the screw out a little that should make your cream thicker, if it is still not thick enough for you then i would recomend putting it through again. hope this helps. also when you wind the screw out if the 2 cones will not desemble after runing the machine then just screw it back in.kristy17 Oct 2010 10:42 AM,UTC
