Skim milk is milk with all of the butterfat (cream) removed. The butterfat rises to the top, and is easy to skim off. The remainder can be removed by centrifuge. What is left is skim milk. It is powdered by the simple industrial process of evaporation.

How will you separate cream from curd?

You don't separate crream from curd, you separate whey from curd. Cream is skimmed from the top of milk as it sits and the cream floats to the top. Then the milk is used to make curds and whey by adding a curdling agent like rennet. The curds form and the clear liquid they float in is whey. Then you can strain the curds from the whey by pouring them through cheese cloth.


How long does it take to separate cream from milk?

This depends entirely on the equipment at your disposal. Traditional methods let the milk stand overnight before skimming off the cream that settled to the top of the tank.
