The SS304/316 Horizontal Type Milk Storage Cooling Tank is a robust, horizontal-oriented vessel designed for the bulk storage and cooling of raw or processed milk in dairy farms, processing plants, and distribution centers. Its horizontal configuration offers advantages in space utilization and ease of access, while the choice of SS304 (for general use) or SS316 (for high-corrosion environments) ensures durability and compliance with food safety standards.
The tank features a double-shell structure with a polyurethane insulation layer (typically 80-100mm thick) to maintain stable temperatures (2-6°C) for extended periods. A built-in glycol or ammonia cooling system circulates through an external jacket or internal coils, efficiently removing heat from the milk. The horizontal design allows for uniform mixing of milk through gentle agitation, preventing fat separation and ensuring consistent quality.
Horizontal Geometry: Low profile reduces height requirements, making it ideal for facilities with limited ceiling space, while the elongated shape promotes better heat transfer across the liquid surface.
Material Options: SS304 for standard milk storage; SS316L for environments with frequent cleaning using harsh chemicals or near coastal areas with high humidity/salt exposure.
Advanced Cooling System: High-efficiency compressors and evaporators, with optional heat recovery to utilize waste heat for preheating water or other processes.
Hygienic Construction: Interior polished to Ra≤0.8μm, with seamless welding, tangential inlets to reduce foam formation, and a conical bottom for complete drainage.
Smart Controls: PLC-based control panel with HMI interface, enabling remote monitoring of temperature, level, and cooling system status via IoT connectivity.
Dairy Farms: Temporary storage of daily milk production before transportation to processing plants, with built-in agitation to keep milk homogenized during storage.
Milk Processing Plants: Bulk storage of pasteurized or UHT milk before bottling, ensuring temperature consistency throughout the production line.
Cheese and Yogurt Production: Storage of cultured milk or cream at controlled temperatures to facilitate fermentation and texture development.
Ice Cream Manufacture: Holding of mix ingredients at low temperatures to prevent bacterial growth and maintain emulsification stability.
Q: What is the capacity range for horizontal tanks?
A: Standard capacities range from 500L to 50,000L. Larger custom sizes are available for industrial-scale operations, with reinforced supports for structural integrity.
Q: How does the agitation system work?
A: Most models use slow-speed mechanical agitators (10-30 RPM) with food-grade impellers to gently mix the milk without creating foam or damaging fat globules.
Q: Can the tank be installed outdoors?
A: Yes, but it requires a weatherproof enclosure for the refrigeration components and additional UV-resistant coating for the external shell in sunny climates.
Q: What is the difference between SS304 and SS316 materials?
A: SS316 contains molybdenum, making it more resistant to chlorides, acids, and seawater corrosion. Choose SS316 if your cleaning regimen includes aggressive chemicals or if the tank is near saltwater environments.
