Approach To 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.

Cooling facilities and more specifically the tanks are of two types. They are either the open tanks which store around one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty liters or closed facilities which accommodate large amount of milk around one thousand to ten thousand liters.

There are lacteal secretion silos which are so big and can take more than ten thousand liters suitable for large scale producers. They are designed to be strong and they are installed outside but should be adjacent or close to dairy, that is if all the controls and milk pipe outlet are situate or fitted installed in 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.

There is a forty centimeter manhole on top of every cooling container that is closed. This is very necessary because it allows for systematic cleaning and thorough inspection of interior containers whenever necessary. This manhole is supposed to be covered using lid and water tight sealed using rubber ring. Also on top of this big container there are two to four pipes installed to serve as inlets.

One inlet is supposed to be covered using air vent while other inlets pump content into the container. Another thing to remember is to fit the container with four or six legs that are easily adjustable. To ensure all the content flow into to the container tilt are installed in the interior wall.

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.
