A 250-liter bulk milk cooler is a refrigeration unit designed to store and cool milk produced on farms. It helps maintain the quality and freshness of milk by rapidly chilling it to a safe temperature, typically around 4°C. This helps prevent bacterial growth and spoilage, extending the shelf life and preserving the nutritional value of the milk.
Key features and specifications:
- Capacity: 250 liters
- Cooling temperature: 4°C
- Construction: Stainless steel 304 for durability, hygiene, and easy cleaning
- Refrigeration system: Compressor and refrigerant for efficient cooling
- Tank orientation: Vertical
- Temperature control: Equipped with a thermostat to maintain the desired temperature
- Agitation: Agitator to ensure even cooling and prevent milk from forming a skin
- Insulation: Polyurethane foam (PUF) for minimized heat transfer and reduced energy consumption
Benefits of using a bulk milk cooler:
- Improved milk quality: Rapid cooling reduces bacterial growth, preserving the taste and nutritional value of the milk.
- Increased income: Higher milk quality allows farmers to command better prices from dairies or processors.
- Reduced spoilage: Proper cooling minimizes spoilage, reducing losses and increasing profitability.
- Convenience: Allows farmers to store larger volumes of milk on-farm, reducing the need for frequent transportation.
