Alfa Laval BMRPX818 HGV-14C Bactofuge Separator

What is a Bactofuge?

Bactofuge is used for a general reduction of the amount of bacteria present in milk. This process is most efficient for spores as they are relatively heavy. The bactofugation process is traditionally incorporated in the pretreatment of cheese milk. Today the Bactofuge is also used to improve the quality of powders, consumption milk and cream to normalize the bacteria content in the milk prior to heat treatment. The bactofugation temperature depends on the application. In most cases a temperature of 50-65 Celsius is chosen to reduce spores. The efficiency is stated as a percentage reduction of the incoming amount. Depending on the process arrangement and conditions, the efficiency normally varies between 98 and 99.5% for anaerobic spores.
