DeLaval offers the world’s largest range of milk cooling systems for on the farm use. Able to meet virtually all raw milk cooling and storage demands, DeLaval supplies farmers with herds from one, up to more than one thousands cows.
|
Compared to other cooling systems, the direct expansion principle gives the highest efficiency in cooling technology, combined with the lowest possible energy consumption. The stainless-steel, double- plated evaporator has a large exchange surface to ensure rapid cooling of the milk. This range includes open cylindrical tanks (from 300 – 1 800 litres); open rectangle tanks (from 1 000 – 3 000 litres), and horizontal closed oval tanks (from 1 150 – 32 000 litres). |

Closed DX tank with cleaning and control unit.

Current modern demands regarding milk cooling and tank cleaning for closed cooling tanks are embraced in the range of DeLaval cleaning and control units. The unit is microprocessor controlled and provides: several cleaning programmes, adjustable to the conditions on the farm; and control and alarm functions, including memory to store data regarding the development of the milk quality during the time the milk is stored at the farm. |
A higher level of comfort can be reached with automatic dosing. The cleaning and control unit range has been developed with unique cost and environmental saving features built in, such as low water and electricity consumption.
| Mobile Cooling systems are specially developed for high quality cooling of small quantities of milk, and are used to transport the cooled milk to a pick-up point for collection by a milk tanker. Mobile cooling is especially practical when, due to lack of infrastructure, small mountain roads or small quantities of milk, the milk collection truck cannot reach the farm. |

| The condensing units of icebank tanks are used to produce ice in the periods between milkings. This ice is frozen around the evaporator pipes in the lower water basin. When warm milk comes into the tank, the ice water is spayed against the outside of the inner tank. |
DeLaval IB
|
The cold water takes the heat out of the milk. These systems are used in areas where peak electricity consumption during milking should be avoided; where low night tariffs offer economical benefits; or the electricity supply in general is too weak to support larger condensing units.
|
Plate cooler
|
This system consists of a water-cooled plate cooler, P30 clip-on, and is able to cool the milk very quickly. The chilled water used is from a water chiller or ice builder. Instant cooling is often used with large herds and milking round the clock, such as for the Voluntary Milking System (VMS). In cases where the raw milk quality is poor (due to bad hygienic conditions and milking routines), instant cooling stops growth of the bacteria immediately. The system consists of: plate coolers; heat exchangers; condensing units with water-chillers; ice-builders; storage tanks with maintenance cooling, pumps and control unit.
|
| This range is specifically designed for milk cooling on the farm using environmentally friendly freon gas. The condensing units are equipped with a piston or scroll compressor. It is available in an extensive range of capacities. |
