Capacity Range

Engineered for Confined Milk Rooms

Do not compromise on milk preservation quality just because your facility has limited floor space.

-50%

Footprint Reduction

The vertical cylinder architecture utilizes airspace rather than floor space, cutting required installation area in half compared to horizontal equivalents.

220V

Single-Phase Capable

Unlike heavy industrial units, models under 1,000L can be configured for standard single-phase power, eliminating the need for expensive electrical grid upgrades.

100%

Complete Drainage

Engineered with a precision conical bottom. Gravity ensures every drop of milk is evacuated to the collection truck, maximizing your payout and simplifying CIP.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Value Integration

Evaluate operational expenditures (OpEx) and spatial value before securing your capital asset.

1. Eliminating Civil Engineering Costs

Many legacy barns lack the floor space to install a traditional horizontal bulk tank. The vertical design allows farms to drastically upgrade cooling capacity without knocking down walls or pouring new concrete foundations, resulting in massive upfront CapEx savings.

2. Minimizing Milk Spoilage Risk

Even at small volumes, bacterial growth in warm milk destroys commercial value. The integrated Direct Expansion (DX) evaporator cools milk from 35°C to a safe 4°C rapidly, preserving Grade A payment tier status and ensuring collection trucks do not reject your batch.

3. Power Flexibility (Grid Independence)

Rural dairies often struggle to access reliable 3-phase industrial power grids. By selecting our 220V single-phase configurations (available up to 1,000L), producers can plug directly into standard household grids, bypassing expensive commercial electrical installations completely.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to help you configure the correct compact storage infrastructure.

Can I use single-phase (household) power for these tanks?
Yes. For tank capacities under 1,000L, we actively provide Single Phase (220V/50Hz or 60Hz) compressor options. For larger commercial tanks (2T-3T), a 3-Phase power supply is strictly recommended to maintain heavy-duty compressor efficiency and longevity without overloading circuits.
How is the internal tank cleaned and sanitized?
Standard series models feature an accessible top manhole cover designed for swift manual brushing and rinsing. If you upgrade to the Premium Series, the unit includes an integrated Clean-In-Place (CIP) microprocessor connected to 360° rotating spray balls, fully automating the wash cycles with the press of a button.
Will the milk freeze during the first milking if volumes are very low?
No. The intelligent digital controller constantly monitors the real-time temperature differential. Concurrently, the paddle agitator operates on a smart timer to ensure even thermal distribution throughout the liquid, actively preventing localized icing on the evaporator pad even during initial low-volume milkings.
Does the quoted system include the refrigeration compressor?
Yes. All our vertical configurations utilize an Integrated Type architecture. The condensing unit (compressor) is heavily mounted directly onto the reinforced tank frame at the factory. You receive a complete, factory-tested unit—simply plug it into the power grid and connect your raw milk transfer line.
