Table 16. Effect of Rate of Inflow on Ratio of Skim Milk 



to Cream. 



It was formerly assumed that the skim miilk discharge was 

 constant and was not influenced by the rate of inflow and that 

 all the additional milk of an increased inflow would escape 

 through the cream discharge. The above experimental results 

 show this to be erroneous. The skim milk discharge increased 

 very materially with the increase in the rate of inflow as shown 

 in Table 16 and in the following summary: 1
