Raw milk reception and storage

As we know, raw milk from dairy farm, after we get raw milk from farms, the fresh raw milk stored in milk tanker and keep constant temperature at 14℃, then transported to dairy manufacturer.

Raw milk pumped from tanker in which the milk temperature is approx. 14℃, then cool down to 4℃ through the milk reception line and stored in raw milk silos at 4℃ constant temperature. The reception line normally include sight glass、pre-filter、buffer tank、sampling valve、fine filter、pump、PHE etc.

Raw milk silos normally are outdoors, and the volume is much huge. Each silo could receive raw milk from all reception lines. Mixing proof valve block design make it’s possible that when one of the tanks is feeding from milk tank truck, other tanks are working with pasteurizer or CIP at the same time. 

These milk silo are insulated, equipped with agitator、cleaning spray ball、sampling valve、temperature transmitter、level switch、level transmitter etc.
