How To Come Up With Milk Tank And Silo

By Tammie Caldwell


A container is equipment used to store contents for a short period of time, so for farmers with large herd of cattle they need to invest in these container fitted with cooling system to prevent their content from going bad. These containers exist in many type, there is single, triple and double walled containers, there is jacketed and lastly the insulated containers fitted with outdoor and indoor installation necessary to cool, store and heat liquids. To have your dairy products properly stored use milk tank and silo.

Once the content is pumped into the containers, the temperatures of the container are reduced to keep the milk in perfect condition awaiting haulers to come and pick it. These storage facilities or containers are usually of cylindrical in nature and made using stainless materials. These containers require thorough cleaning every time they handle milk. This is to make sure they do not spoil any content stored there after.

The process of how lacteal secretion gets from the cow to the store starts from a farmer rearing dairy cattle, harvesting dairy product from cows should be done twice or thrice in a day, the process of milking has been mechanized today reducing the time taken for milking.

There are lacteal secretion silos which are so big and can take more than ten thousand liters suitable for large scale producers. They are designed to be strong and they are installed outside but should be adjacent or close to dairy, that is if all the controls and milk pipe outlet are situate or fitted installed in dairy.

These storage tanks consist of outer and inner wall both of which are made of stainless steel of high quality. The two layer of wall create a space which is filled or isolated using polyurethane foam. In the event that power fails the exterior temperature will warm the content only by a little Celsius of about one degree.

To facilitate and accelerate rapid and adequate cooling of all the content inside a storage facility, the container is fitted with one or two agitator. To make sure that entire content in the container is of uniform temperature and homogeneous, it is recommended to stir the content regularly.

Milk has the ability to resist bacteria naturally immediately after milking, but it is only speedy cooling to bring down temperatures to around four degrees Celsius that enable it to further stop bacteria activities.

Silos also serve the same purpose of storage, they are bigger than tanks storing ten thousand liters and plus more than the tanks. Due to their size they are located outside adjacent to dairy. Storage containers are designed to have two walls, one on the inside and the other on the outside. The walls are then separate by foam known as polyurethane.

At least more than half of the containers should be fitted with control box, these control box regulates cooling process using a thermostat. This allows the user to turn off and on to have time to clean these containers, turn it off when they want to stir the content properly and to turn it off when they want to reset the system in the event of failure.
