About Milk Silo
Our company is known as one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of Milk Silos that can be used in dairy plants to build reliable storage facilities to store milk and other dairy products. It is fabricated by using premium-quality food-grade stainless steel that gives excellent safety to the stored products. This tank allows you to maintain the freshness of milk for a longer period by preventing bacterial growth. It is also fixed with an inlet and outlet tank to efficiently fill or discharge milk. Customers can get robust and leakproof Milk Silos with minimum order of 10 units at reasonable price.
Superior Hygiene and InsulationOur milk silo boasts a mirror or matte internal finish and a polished outer surface, promoting cleanability and aesthetic appeal. Insulation with polyurethane foam or mineral wool ensures minimal temperature loss during milk storage and processing. The hygienic design, combined with CIP spray balls, facilitates rigorous cleaning without dismantling, safeguarding milk quality.
Customizable and Robust ConstructionDesigned to IS, DIN, or customer-specific standards, the silos structure accommodates a range of capacities, from 10,000 up to 30,000 liters. The sturdy stainless steel build and provided ladder-platform system enable seamless operation and maintenance. Safety railings and a top manhole protect operators during access, while a service life over 15 years assures enduring reliability.
Efficient Cooling and Mixing OptionsAchieve ideal chilling and buffering of bulk milk using glycol jacket or direct expansion cooling modes. For enhanced product uniformity, an optional slow-speed agitator (3 HP motor) can be integrated. The tanks butterfly or dairy valve ensures controlled discharge, and manual or digital level gauges allow precise inventory management according to plant needs.
FAQs of Milk Silo:
Q: How is milk kept at optimal temperature in the silo during storage and processing?
A: The milk silo features double-wall insulation using either polyurethane foam or mineral wool. This efficient insulation, combined with cooling options like glycol jackets or direct expansion systems, maintains the milk at required temperatures for safe storage and chilling.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the milk silo to ensure hygiene?
A: Cleaning is achieved through an integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system using spray balls. This automated process circulates cleaning solutions throughout the silos interior, reaching all surfaces due to the mirror/matte finish, ensuring thorough sanitation without manual entry or tank disassembly.
Q: When should the optional slow-speed agitator be used with the milk silo?
A: The agitator is recommended when uniform mixing or gentle agitation is required, such as during buffering or chilling processes. It prevents milk separation and maintains homogeneity, especially in larger capacity tanks or extended storage durations.
Q: Where is the silo typically installed, and what site considerations should be made?
A: Milk silos are usually installed at dairy plants storage, chilling, or buffer zones. Installation should consider adequate spacing for ladder and platform access, proper foundation for supporting approximately 2500 kg plus full product load, and ease of integration with plant processing and cleaning systems.
Q: What are the benefits of the robust stainless steel construction and finishes?
A: The smooth, polished exterior facilitates cleaning and minimizes contamination risk, while the mirror or matte inside surface prevents milk residue. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and suitable for food-grade applications, offering durability and a service life exceeding 15 years.
Q: How is the volume of stored milk monitored and controlled within the silo?
A: The silo comes equipped with a manual level gauge for volume monitoring, with an option for upgrading to a digital control system for more precise measurements. This allows operators to easily track inventory and manage milk flow during daily operations.
