Application
Milk reception equipment for dairies or milk processing plants. This equipment discharges the milk, deaerates it and measures the total volume transferred to the next stage of the process.
Operating principle
Milk, especially at low temperatures, absorbs a considerable quantity of air in the form of bubbles (up to 4%). The milk arrives to the processing plant already filtered, then it is tangentially introduced to a small tank. At this stage the milk is deaerated. And a centrifugal pump transfers milk to the next stage.
Design and features
It is a hygienic compact skided-mounted system.
Milk is transferred from the milk tanker to a tank of 100 litres. The tank is provided with a deaerating valve and minimum/maximum level sensors.
A centrifugal pump transfers milk from the tank to the next stage passing it through a Y filter and a electromagnetic flowmeter.
The control panel assembled on the same skid frame controls the centrifugal pump, flowmeter and minimum/maximum level sensors.
Three models are available for various flow parameters.
The unit is designed for CIP cleaning.
