Milk tanks are stainless steel tanks specially designed for the transportation, storage and cooling of milk and dairy products. Manufactured in accordance with food hygiene standards, these tanks are widely used by milk producers, farms, milk processing facilities and dairies to preserve the freshness and quality of milk.
Milk Storage Tanks Features and Types
Malzeme Yapısı:
Süt tankları genellikle 304 veya 316 kalite paslanmaz çelikten yapılır. Paslanmaz çelik, sütün oksijenle temasını azaltır, korozyona karşı dayanıklıdır ve hijyen standartlarına uygundur.
Cooling System:
Chrome milk tanks usually have an integrated cooling system, which prevents bacteria from forming by keeping the milk at +4°C.
The cooling process is usually provided by pipes placed on the inner walls of the tank. These pipes keep the temperature of the milk constant at the desired level by circulating cooling gas or water.
Double Walled Structure:
Most milk tanks are double-walled to meet cooling and insulation requirements. This feature minimizes heat loss and saves energy.
Mixer Mechanism:
Some milk tanks have mechanisms that constantly mix the milk. This mechanism prevents fat accumulation on the surface of the milk and deterioration of homogeneity.
Discharge Valve:
Stainless steel discharge valves are used for easy discharge. Valve designs that provide hygienic and easy cleaning are preferred.
Hygiene and Cleaning System (CIP):
Milk tanks are usually equipped with a CIP (Clean-In-Place) system. This system automatically cleans the inner surfaces of the tank, thus maintaining hygiene standards.
Advantages of Milk Storage Tanks
Hygienic Storage: Milk tanks are manufactured in accordance with food safety and hygiene standards. Its smooth inner surface reduces the risk of bacterial growth.
Protecting the Quality of Milk: Thanks to its cooling and insulation features, it prevents milk from spoiling and keeps it fresh for a long time.
Energy Saving: Milk tanks with good insulation save energy, which reduces operating costs.
Durability: Its stainless steel structure ensures that the tanks last for many years and do not rust.
Areas of Use of Stainless Steel Milk Tanks
Farms: For rapid cooling and preservation of raw milk after milking.
Dairy Farms: For safe storage and transportation before and during milk processing.
Milk Processing Facilities: For preservation of milk during the production of dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese, and cream.
Milk tanks provide a practical and safe solution for processing facilities while preserving the freshness and hygiene of milk at the highest level through milk storage.
