They are the shallow-pan method, the deep-setting method, and the water- dilution method. In the first, the cream is skimmed off with a shallow dipper, and in the other two methods the skimmed-milk is drawn off, leaving the cream. These gravity methods, however, have distinct disadvantages, one of the most important being the loss of a small amount of milk-fat each time they are used. Tests of the relative merits of the gravity methods of separation have been made in order to de- termine how great is this loss. (See Figs. 13 to 15.) 41. Efficiency of different methods of separation. — Accord- ing to experiments made by Hun- ziker,^ the percentage of milk-fat in the skimmed-milk separated from cream by these gravity methods of cream separation is as follows: water-dilution method, .68 of 1 per cent of fat; shallow-pan method, .44 of 1 per cent of fat; deep-setting method, .17 of 1 per cent of fat.
