Prevent Damage By Use Of Milk Tank And Silo

By Tammie Caldwell


Large scale dairy farming is a common practice to people who have massive acres of land, it is recommended for these farmers to install cooling containers in their farms to store their cow products in them temporarily without damaging. These cooling containers can be fitted on trucks which then are used to transport the content over long distance and still remain fresh. Milk tank and silo are the perfect solutions for any dairy farmer.

Once the content is pumped into the containers, the temperatures of the container are reduced to keep the milk in perfect condition awaiting haulers to come and pick it. These storage facilities or containers are usually of cylindrical in nature and made using stainless materials. These containers require thorough cleaning every time they handle milk. This is to make sure they do not spoil any content stored there after.

When the lacteal secretion is put into theses cooling tanks, temperatures inside the container is reduced to low levels to be able to maintain your content fresh until it is picked up by haulers. Hygiene is very important, the tanks are supposed to be cleaned each and every time they handle dairy products.

Types of tanks are only two, it is either closed container which is very big and takes considerably a lot of milk, and the other type is open container. There is another storage equipment known as the silos, they are so big they can take up to eleven thousand liters of milk, because of their size they are constructed outside but close enough to dairy.

These storage tanks consist of outer and inner wall both of which are made of stainless steel of high quality. The two layer of wall create a space which is filled or isolated using polyurethane foam. In the event that power fails the exterior temperature will warm the content only by a little Celsius of about one degree.

Containers for storage and cooling are readily available in the market for those farmers who wish to buy them and have the require capital, for those farmers with inadequate capital to invest in these coolers, they can rent it and use then do the payment slowly through a monthly fee payment.

Cooling containers for dairy products come into two different types, you can have open tanks convenient for liters below three hundred, or one can have closed containers which has the capacity to hold large liters of about ten thousand.

Silos also serve the same purpose of storage, they are bigger than tanks storing ten thousand liters and plus more than the tanks. Due to their size they are located outside adjacent to dairy. Storage containers are designed to have two walls, one on the inside and the other on the outside. The walls are then separate by foam known as polyurethane.

For large container these speedy cooling calls for big refrigerators compressors to expel heat from the dairy product quickly. This is only possible in large farms where there is the presence of electrical power that is three phase.
