Abstract: Dry matter content in curd is adjusted by feeding starting product into a nozzle separator while determining a content of dry matter and/or protein, and measuring mass flow of the starting product. The nozzle separator separates the starting product into whey and curd fractions, which are separately discharged from the separator and the mass flow of the whey fraction is measured. Mass flow rate of supplied starting product is adjust based on the determined content of dry matter or protein of the starting product, measure mass flow of the starting product, and measured mass flow of the whey fraction. A determination of the dry matter content and/or the protein content of the curd fraction is carried out based on the determined mass flow of the starting product and the mass flow of the whey fraction and the determined dry matter content and/or protein content of the starting product.

Abstract: A separator having a vertical rotation axis includes a rotatably mounted drum having a drum interior for centrifugal processing of a liquid. The separator also includes a gas supply line for introducing gas into the liquid, which opens into the drum interior.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the dry matter content in curd involves feeding the starting product into a nozzle separator of the device via a feed line while determining a content of dry matter and/or protein, and measuring the mass flow of the starting product. The starting product is centrifugally separated by the nozzle separator into a whey fraction and a curd fraction. The whey fraction and the curd fraction are separately discharged from the nozzle separator and the mass flow of the whey fraction is measured. The mass flow rate of supplied starting product is adjust as a function of the determined content of dry matter or protein of the starting product, the measure mass flow of the starting product, and the measured mass flow of the whey fraction.

Abstract: A method for producing a milk or whey powder, involves providing milk or whey, thickening the milk or whey using a first evaporation process or second evaporation process, and drying the thickened milk or whey to provide a milk or whey powder. After the first or second evaporation process, the milk or whey is sterilized using a centrifugal bacteria-removing separator.

Abstract: A method for metering hops pellets into a fermented beer precursor in order to produce beer using a system having a metering system and a pump. Hops pellets are supplied into the system. A specified quantity of hops pellets are metered from the metering system to the pump. The specified quantity of hops pellets is supplied into a beer precursor-conducting line or a tank filled with beer precursor by the pump. The metered hops pellets are supplied into the beer precursor-conducting line or into the tank filled with the beer precursor in a pelleted and/or granulated form.
