Dairy Milk Tanks

Milks have got lots of useful bacteria for human health. So the most important thing when storing milk is keep milk cold. Dairy milk tanks are used to keep milk cold. Tanks are important to keep milk nutrition and prevent milk spoilage. Dairy Milk Tanks has lots of size from 100 litres to 150000 litres. The reason for the existence of so many sizes is that their intended use is high. Milk tanks are generally divided into two categories. Milk tanks are generally divided into two categories. First category is storage tanks and the second category is process tank.

Silo Tanks
The silo tanks used for milk intake belong to the storage category. The dimensions of the silo tanks vary from 25000 to 15000. The wetted surfaces are made of stainless steel. Because stainless steel is safe for storage milk. In addition, stainless steel prevents cross-contamination. Silo tanks built outside of building to save cost. Silo tanks are mostly insulated because they are used outdoors. They have double shell and mineral wool insulation is between two shell. Most of the silo Dairy Milk Tanks have got mild steel and coated with anti-corrosion paint. Because stainless steel is more expensive than mild steel. The bottom of the silo tanks is inclined. This slope is 6% for easy drainage and is directed towards the outlet. They have control equipment for temperature monitoring. There are also various agitators in silo tanks. The size and number of silo tanks is determined by the following variables.

• The milk intake per day, the number of days per working week, the number of hours per working day (one, two or three shifts), the number of different products to be manufactured, the quantities

Intermediate Storage Tanks
These tanks are used for short-term storage of milk before processing. Use and aim at levelling the variations in the workflow. The milk is first heat treated. It is then cooled. Then the cooled milk is sent to the filling process. If the filling is full, the cooled milk stock up storage dairy milk tank. They have capacity from 1000 liters to 50000 liters. Storage dairy milk tanks’ inter shells are stainless steel like as silo tanks and storage dairy milk tanks are insulated with mineral wool. The difference of storage tanks from silo tanks is that the outer surfaces of the storage tanks are made of stainless steel. Dairy milk tanks are important equipment for dairy farm and dairy factory.
