Skim milk is generally produced on the same line as whole milk and other milk that have to be homogenised. Even though the fat content is so low (0.5% or lower), this can still form a layer if the product is unhomogenised and left to stand. Homogenisation ensures that the fat stays distributed in the milk.

∙ 13y agoIn college worked in Dept of Agriculture (clerical) but walked through the milk bottling area and had explained to me how they homogenise milk. I saw the milk run through the plastic pipes with my own eyes. They simply run the pasteurized whole milk into a pump (no bigger than a softball) which squishes the fat and whey together and "homogenises" the milk. I'm not clear how they segregate NF, 1%, 2%, etc. I believe 4% is "whole milk".

Before homogenization, milk needed to be shaken to mix the cream and milk back together before it could be drunk or used.
