Application
A tank or trough for the reception of raw milk permits discharge of the milk manually, in milk churns, or by means of cistern trucks. It has a maximum capacity of 5.000 litres/hour.
The maximum temperature foreseen for the milk on arrival is 25º C.
Operating principle
The raw milk is poured onto a pre-filter in order to eliminate the largest of any solid particles. The milk is stored in a tank specially designed for this purpose which has a capacity of 150 litres. This deposit tank has probes installed to detect both maximum and minimum levels. When the minimum level is detected the machine will start working. Another filter situated in the lower part of the unit undertakes a second elimination of solid particles, this time finer ones.
The pump propels the milk through the plate heat exchanger which cools the fluid from 25º C (max.) to 4º C.
Before the cooling process the flow of milk is recorded by an electro-magnetic flowmeter which allows us to know the exact quantity supplied by each farmer, or total amounts on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, etc.
