Now a dayes Stainless Steel is used as the material of construction for Dairy and Food processing equipments world over to achieve the most exact requirements for easy maintenance,sanitation,product preservation,corrosion resistance and to avoid health hazardous effects of aluminium and plastic. Stainless Steel products are well accepted and appreciated in India as well as other developing and developed countries around the world.

Stainless Steel has got higher strength,higher yield-point and relatively higher hardness than aluminum and plastic.

It has strong resistance to factors like abrasion, mechanical deformation etc. It is strongly resistant to corrosion.
It is very easy to clean S.S.cans. It has smooth surface finish and is free of pits & scratches. It prevents adhesion of food / milk particles to its surface and thus protects the food from any higher rate of microbial growth. Its strength and durability ensures it much better life span than lids of any other conventional material.

Stainless Steel facilitate easy and fast cleaning. It saves lots of chemicals, energy and man hours. Research studies have established that poor cleaning of milk can is the principal cause for very high bacterial

count in raw milk when received at the dairy. Since Stainless Steel surface can be very effectively cleaned., it’s super smooth construction has a clear advantage over aluminum alloy and plastic cans. Moreover, this operation can be done using even washing soda, if needed, which otherwise is not possible with aluminum alloy can (esp. when subjected to manual cleaning/ scrubbing).

Long life: Stainless Steel does not require any protective coating. There is negligible weight loss. The strong stainless steel body resists all wear and tear – thus giving wide time interval between purchase & replacement.

Frankly,Stainless Steel is not at all costly. Very low maintenance and longer operational durability makes it comparatively cheaper in long run.

A dairy farm is an agricultural facility dedicated to raising and maintaining animals kept for their milk. Classically, a dairy farm houses cows, although it is also possible to raise goats, sheep, yaks, and other animals for their milk. The goal of a dairy farm is to produce high volumes of good quality, safe milk and milk products, and to export them to the surrounding region.

Humans have been keeping animals for their milk for centuries, but the dairy farm didn’t really catch on in a big way until people figured out how to handle milk safely. Historically, many communities had a few milk animals which were handled and driven communally, and establishments such as abbeys might keep animals for the purpose of making cheese and other goods for sale. Individual farmers and landholders generally made their own milk and cheese as needed from their cows, sheep, and other animals.

With the advent of storage tanks, pasteurization, refrigeration, and roads accessible to milk trucks in the 1800s, the modern dairy farm began to evolve. Most dairy farms today have large numbers of animals, in the hundreds or thousands as opposed to the dozens found on small farms through the early 20th century, and they produce huge volumes of milk.

The farm includes pasture and shelter for the animals, along with areas for sheltering cows while they labor and give birth. Dairy farms usually keep a bull on hand, or order semen for artificial insemination to get access to especially good bloodlines, and they also have a facility known as a milking parlor, where the cows are milked. Historically, this was done by hand, but modern milking parlors usually utilize milking machines. The milk is transported in sterile tubes to tanks so that it can be tested for pathogens before being pooled on a milk truck. The milk truck takes the milk to a central location for processing.

A dairy farm may also have fields for the purpose of growing fodder, to cut down on costs for the farm. Farms which serve special markets like people seeking organic products can also be found.

Small dairy farms may make their own cheese, butter, yogurt, clotted cream, and other dairy products for sale in the community. This requires special skills and additional licensing and inspections, leading many farmers to prefer to sell their milk to dairy cooperatives or specific manufacturers of products like cheese rather than handling it themselves. When consumers in the store buy Milk Brand X, they are usually buying milk from a large number of farmers who sell their milk to Milk Company , rather than milk from cows belonging to that particular brand.

An efficient breeding program is essential to a dairy operation, since production is dependent on dairy cows’ lactation, which can happen only after they give birth. Dairy farms may also specialize; for example, they may produce milk only for use in cheese, cream for ice cream or all-organic milk. Startup costs for a dairy farm can be substantial, however, so follow these steps to minimize your risk.

In dairy farming a bulk milk cooling tank is a large storage tank for cooling and holding milk at a cold temperature until it can be picked up by a milk hauler. The bulk milk cooling tank is an important piece of dairy farm equipment. It is usually made of stainless steel and used every day to store the raw milk on the farm in good condition. It must be cleaned after each milk collection.Raw milk producers have a choice of either open (from 700 to 20000 litres) Bulk cooling tanks.

A milk cooling tank, also known as a bulk tank or milk cooler or bulk milk chillers,Milk Chillers.
Bulk Milk Coolers consists of an inner and an outer tank, both made of high quality stainless steel.

The space between the outer tank and the inner tank is isolated with polyurethane foam. In case of a power failure with an outside temperature of 30°C, the content of the tank will warm up only 1°C in 24 hours.

To facilitate an adequate and rapid cooling of the entire content of a tank, every tank is equipped with at least one agitator. Stirring the milk ensures that all milk inside the tank is of the same temperature and that the milk stays homogeneous.

On top of every closed milk cooling tank is a manhole. This enables thorough cleaning and inspection of the inner tank if necessary.A milk cooling tank usually stands on 4, 6, or 8 adjustable legs. The built-in tilt of the inner tank ensures that even the last drop of milk will eventually flow to the outlet.

At the bottom, every milk cooling tank has a threaded outlet, usually including a valve.All tanks have a thermometer, allowing for immediate inspection of the inner temperature.Most tanks include an automatic cleaning system. Using hot and cold water, an acid and/or alkaline cleaning fluid, a pump and a spray lance will clean the inner tank, ensuring an hygienic inner environment each time the tank is emptied.

Almost every tank has a control box. It manages the cooling process by use of a thermostat. The user can turn the system on and off, allow for extra and immediate stirring, start the cleaning routine, and reset the entire system in case of a failure.

New advanced and bigger milk cooling tanks are now being equipped with monitoring and alarm systems. These systems guard temperature of the milk inside the tank, check the functioning of the agitator, the cooling unit and temperature of the cleaning water. In case of malfunctioning of any of these functions, the alarm will activate. The monitoring system will also keep a record of the temperature and of all malfunctions for a given period.

Bulk tank should be easily accessible by large bulk collection tankers and positioned so that the tanker approaches can be kept clean and free from cow traffic at all times.

Although tanks have been calibrated when first installed, bulk tank miscalibration is not uncommon and in some cases it can result in significant loss of income.
