Approach To Milk Tank And Silo

By Tammie Caldwell


Farmer who rear dairy cattle in large scale or in ranches they ought to have big storage facilities to temporarily store their products awaiting transportation. The facilities include big tanks for holding and cooling lacteal secretion of cows until the haulers come and pick it up, the product are maintained under very cold temperatures to avoid damage. Cooling facilities are the most important items in a dairy farm. So farmers should invest in milk tank and silo to maximize their profit and minimize damages.

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.

There is a forty centimeter manhole on top of every cooling container that is closed. This is very necessary because it allows for systematic cleaning and thorough inspection of interior containers whenever necessary. This manhole is supposed to be covered using lid and water tight sealed using rubber ring. Also on top of this big container there are two to four pipes installed to serve as inlets.

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.
