Show - -o UP-TO-DATE IMPROVEMENTS IN CREAM SEPARATORS. Cream separators come and go every year sonic new names and some that arc heard of no more but all appear to have little effect upon the firmly established prestige of the "World's Standard" Dc Laval machines ma-chines which were first in the begin- , n'ng and which their makers have spared no effort or expense at any time to keep in the van of all at-1 at-1 cmptcdcompctition. J (A Sectional View.) tffthe capacities have been increased from ten to twenty per cent., while 1 there is claimed to be a. noticeable improvement in the still more complete com-plete separation of the butter-fat from the milk, particularly under the more difficult but frequently unavoidable una-voidable circumstances of ordinary farm qnd dairy use. The supply can is now low enough to meet the objection that has somc-':': somc-':': limes been made to the lifting of milk into it. Is is spun from a single sheet of tin-plate, so that it is seamless seam-less and absolutely sanitary, while it is globe shaped and thus avoids any splashing over of the milk. The bowls retain, the distinctive "Alpha-Disc" tand "Split-Wing" tubular tu-bular shaft Lc Laval features, but have been scientifically rc-designed from engineering considerations, so as to involve the least air resistance ' ' in being driven and in the discharge of cream and skim-milk from them. The bowl is more sanitary in its construction, being free from tubes, "Wj$, wings, orifices or any parts which ' arc not casijy unassembled and may not be quickly and completely cleaned. clean-ed. The supporting spindle now sets well up under the bowl at the center of weight and balances. It is of the I combined spindle and worm screw V type, but still detachable from the I bowl, the spindle always remaining . J in the frame where no harm can come to it. It is thus said to possess all 0 the advantages of both the old double and single bowl spindles, with none of the .previous disadvantages of cither. The top bearing, which provides the yielding cushion the bowl spindle spin-dle must have, is most ingeniously simple, hardy and inexpensive. It is merely a circular bowed steel spring surrounding the bronze bushing, unaffected un-affected by wear or conditions of use and easily removed and replaced. A new feature which appeals to every housewife is the drip shelf coming between the frame and the stool and catching any oil or overflow over-flow of milk and water, thatmight otherwise run to the floor. The new machines have .been the subject of mucjhr favorable comment by Experiment Station and other authorjtics and many experienced users of separators have come to appreciate ap-preciate some of the difficulties they had to contend with before and some of the new features which it seems hard to be without once it is known that they can be had. More than 15,000 users of old machines ma-chines various other makes as well as antiquated Dc Laval arc said to have availed during 1908 of the small "trade" allowances which the Dc Laval Company makes for , sugJi old machines, and it is confidently expected ex-pected that a still larger number will do so this year. The accompanying sectional view of one of the machines illustrates some of the new features mentioned. o |
