Refrigeration supply for milk plants

Fresh milk yield is a complicated product in terms of long-term storage. It is a nutrient solution where different types of bacteria rapidly grow. Therefore it should be chilled for storage and further use. Special refrigerating equipment for milk plants is used for this.

The current equipment must possess high productivity and effectiveness in order to preserve the product quality. PRIMEHOLOD performs the installation of flash coolhouse units on dairy milk processing plants. They are capable to decrease the temperature of big amounts of milk to the required value in a short time. Ice water is used as a cold agent in such systems. It is pumped through the cavities of ribbed coolers lowering the milk temperature. Chillers are used for producing the ice water.

Milk can be cooled by both open and closed way with the use of technologic equipment: the cavities of different capacity; ribbed and spray units. The major parameter in dairy products refrigeration is the duration of this process. To cool milk in a closed flow a ribbed cooler is used. Ice water is a cold agent in such systems. The milk is cooled in one cycle passing through the unit to the temperature 3 °С higher than ice water temperature.

To slowdown the process of microbes’ development, as well as fermentative and physical-and-chemical processes the temperature of dairy raw materials and products is lowered to 2 – 10 °С. They are stored in this temperature up to processing.

Long-term storage of milk raw materials and products is possible to implement in low temperature conditions due to inhibiting microbiological processes and significant lowering the speed of fermentative and physical-and-chemical reactions. Compared to cooling, more significant changes in physical-and-chemical and biochemical processes take place in freezing. The depth of these changes depends on the freezing speed and the storage temperature. Reservoirs and cavities of different capacity are used for daily product storage on milk industry enterprises.

PRIMEHOLOD will help you to select and purchase all required equipment for your manufacture. Industrial cold supply and providing enterprises with refrigerating units require particularly accurate approach to the refrigerating system design and equipment selection. The specialists of our company are always happy to provide all required assistance in creating efficient industrial cooling systems.
