How To Come Up With 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.

After milking your cows the next stop is storing it in the storage silos which are refrigerated and are of several sizes and shapes. The lacteal secretion is stored at very low degrees in the cooler but only forty eight hours or less. Silos and containers are agitated to ensure the content is cold and to prevent milk from separating from fat.

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.

Cooling systems methods are primary two, and they depend on capacity of the tank, your herd size, frequency of collection, calving pattern, quality of milk required and availability of power and water. Speedy and efficiency in milking process is very vital for preserving the product quality, immediately after milking the temperatures are thirty five degrees Celsius and this heat is quickly removed by pumping it in a cooling container.

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.
