Vertical Milk Cooling Tank
Milk cooling tanks are systems designed to quickly lower the temperature of freshly milked raw milk from 35°C to 4°C and maintain it at that temperature. Because they prevent bacterial growth, they are the most critical equipment in modern dairy farming.
Technical Considerations and Operation
Rapid Cooling: To prevent the milk from souring, the goal is typically to cool it to 4°C within 2 hours.
Laser-Welded Evaporator: A special cooling surface at the bottom of the tank facilitates rapid cooling of the milk.
Agitator Shaft: Ensures uniform cooling of the milk throughout and prevents fat from accumulating at the top (cream separation).
Capacity and Estimated Prices (2024–2025)
Cooling tanks are more expensive than storage tanks because they include a cooling unit (compressor):
Capacity Features Estimated Price Range
250 - 300 Liters Single-Phase / Mini Model 85,000 TL - 110,000 TL
500 Liters Digital Control Panel 120,000 TL - 145,000 TL
1,000 Liters Horizontal or Vertical Type 160,000 TL - 210,000 TL
2000 Liters Dual Milking Compatibility 280,000 TL - 350,000 TL
5000 Liters Industrial / Automatic Washing 550,000 TL - 700,000 TL
