The refrigeration of milk has three main purposes: it helps to maintain milk quality, prevent bacterial growth and avoid constituent changes during processing. We supply Japy milk cooling and storage equipment that is effective in rapidly reducing the temperature of the milk and maintaining it at the optimum 4°C until collection using energy-efficient technology.
Pre-cooling
Milk starts to deteriorate the moment it leaves the cow. Naturally-occurring bacteria in the milk starts multiplying straight away and only temperature can slow the process down to preserve milk quality. Rapid cooling or “snap chilling” of the milk will therefore help reduce the bactoscan and levels of thermodurics (heat-resistant bacteria) and coliforms (generally originating from faecal contaminations) in the milk that leaves the farm and hence contribute to high quality milk production. We can offer advice on pre-cooling systems to suit production on your dairy and supply the equipment, including smart controls, energy saving and heat recovery as well as snap chillers, to achieve the best results.
