A 500-liter bulk milk cooler is an essential piece of equipment for dairy farms and milk collection centers. It is designed to store raw milk at a low temperature, ensuring its quality and safety until it is picked up for processing. This cooler helps maintain optimal conditions for milk storage, minimizing spoilage and preserving nutritional value.
Key features and specifications:
- Capacity: 500 liters, suitable for medium-sized dairy farms or collection centers (Available in vertical or horizontal tank orientation)
- Cooling temperature: 3 to 4°C, inhibiting bacterial growth
- Rapid cooling: Laser welded pillow plate ensures efficient cooling, reducing chilling time and minimizing spoilage
- Hygiene: Made of stainless steel 304 for easy cleaning and contamination prevention
