MAKING BUTTER
NEW PROCESS IN OPERATION. A new process for making' butter is now in operation at the Cobden (Victoria) butter factory, says a writer in “Stock and Land.” In the process, which is revolutionary, cream is pasteurised by the “Flash” method and sent direct through the separator to a salting vat and then to a machine which turns the liquid into butter in a few seconds. The process follows considerable research, with which Mr G. Loftus Hills became associated for some time, following his resignation from the dairy technology staff of the Department of Agriculture. Sweet cream must be used in the process which, it is claimed, results in a saving of £6 a ton. Favourable comment has been made on test shipments overseas. The new method, however, requires collection of cream twice a day, and this will hamper its adoption by most country factories.
