I milked from two to three cows from the time I was 7 till I was 17. Turned that separator twice a day, before school and after school. Walked a mile to the country school. In the winter you have to feed,water and manure the barn. Take care of the pigs and chickens. All without electricity. That cream separator has to get wound up to the a speed that that bell no longer rings than you turn the milk on. The other dirty job is the cleaning of all the parts after each use. My mom had to do that and we had no running water. We would melt snow in the winter time in a 45 gallon drum for soft water in the house. My younger sister hauled the snow in a galvanized boiler and fire wood in a sleigh every night after school. I’m 78 years old and my grand children just can visualize this.

Im reading a book from 1890s where they talk about milk skimming which is done by hand and I had to look it up. They could have benefitted from this machine although the throughput maybe would not have been enough (Thomas Hardy - Tess of the D'Urbervilles is author/book)

Superbe ou acheter la même que vous svp je suis en france

Great video, thanks. Love the bell.

What does this do? I understand a little about it

I love this .Old is gold

So cool . I found one of these in my back field in the bushes.

I remember walking to the milking shed on cold winter's mornings.The cones and other pieces would lie waiting, ready to be assembled in the right sequence. When it was assembled a white muslin cloth would be tied over the top and then the milk was poured in. I loved to turn the handle and the humming and the ting ting when it was at the right speed. Pretty soon we'd line up with our small tins for some fresh milk, while around our ankles there would be half a dozen cats winding around our feet Part of their salary for catching mice a nice sardine tin filled with milk. I always wondered who enjoyed their milk the most. Them or us.

These don't actually work. You've all been brainwashed by Big Cream Separator.

I like when cream is little more thicker, fresh bread dipping in cream and then to sugar or mix cream with strawberry jam or cowberry jam.😋

i think the bell would be the only thing that annoys , other than that . i want one

A site called spiritedrose has a full-text copy of the operating manual for this machine from 1940. Search "DeLaval Cream Separator Manual 1940". It states that when the speed is correct, the bell stops ringing. That is how I remember it from my childhood also.

This is so beautiful wish they still made them

Tonya, we have a separator like this, we need a new O ring. Do you know where we can buy one?

Stupide avec le son cloche rédicule

What kind of oil do you use in the machine?

Ami ata khotai pabo

What is price

This was the cream separator at my grandmother's farm

Tu ne tourne pas assez vite la cloche arrêt de sonné quand tu as la bonne vitesse

If I remember correctly, it’s supposed to be cranked around 65 rpm on the crank. That’s no where near fast enough, as the bell indicates.

The sinful act Business... God bless you.

What does it do though...

Where is this machine working location please

looking for one, all food grade stainless... for 400lbs of milk, 6-7% bf,making butter...pm me at [email protected]

How wonderful-my mother will enjoy viewing this! We have talked a lot lately about how it was her job when she was a little girl In Oklahoma to turn the cream separator. Thank you for sharing!

Eas masian kea kimat kya hogea, eak litar milk mea ketnea malay nikleagea

Nice video! You can buy cream separator and spare parts for them at my ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/Milk-cream-separator-Motor-Sich-SCM-100-19-230V/232591516386?hash=item362788e2e2:g:bWAAAOSwoVNaK77l

Gee there is a way to make that bell stop. Its not there to keep people from sleeping while separating milk.

When the bell stops you are at the proper rpm

I am familiar with these cream separators. My parents came out of the Amish society, but my grandparents still remained Amish. It wasn't my grandparents, but one of their relatives, that had a machine like this. He would milk the cow, and then he would pour the milk into this thing and turn the crank to get it going. I thought it had a motor in it; I was only five years old at the time, but the motor sound was the thing inside spinning after being turned by the crank instead of by a motor. After he was done with separating all the milk, he would clean the separator by pouring water through it, I think with the separator still spinning.

My grandma who turns 100 on August 12, 2016, has been telling me how she and her sister milked the cows and then placed the milk into a separator. They would turn the crank and the milk would go one way and the cream would go another. Her family homesteaded on 40 acres near Polson, Montana. Thank you for posting this - this helps me to see what she did - I'm going to show this to her to see if this is like the separator she used.

I have this same unit

cows milk or goats milk?

very cool!
