Instant milk cooling systems for dairy farms

Optimize your dairy operations by instantly cooling milk with systems designed to maintain quality and freshness while reducing energy consumption through efficient heat exchange processes.

Rapidly Cools and Stores Milk

The Ice Tank and Glycol Chiller from The SERAP Group offer a cutting-edge solution for instant milk cooling in dairy operations. These systems employ a rapid cooling mechanism using an AISI 304 stainless steel ice production and accumulation system, paired with an instant glycol water cooling setup. Designed for seamless integration, the units efficiently reduce milk temperature to the required 4°C almost immediately when combined with a plate exchanger, making them ideal for large dairy farms and milk collection centers. These chillers ensure optimal energy efficiency and reduced operational costs, thanks to their smart heat recovery units. The equipment is constructed for durability and hygiene, complying with industry standards in food-grade applications, and features easy access for cleaning and maintenance. With remote monitoring capabilities, you can ensure continuous operation and real-time performance tracking. Customizations and full engineering support are available to meet specific processing demands and plant configurations.
