The importance of having a milk cooling tank cannot be sidelined in milk value-addition. Bacteria grows quickly in raw milk above 7
° C.
Therefore, a milk cooling tank is essential in your dairy business in guaranteeing its freshness. To ensure high-quality dairy products are produced, milk must be handled with extreme care. When the milk is for home consumption, quality is less important. However, If you intend to sell your products, each batch should be of consistent quality, with a pleasant taste and smell in order to meet food safety standards. Dirt, bacteria, and odours can easily contaminate milk. Milk is an excellent medium for bacterial growth, especially when not properly cooled. After milking, it should be filtered to remove any unwanted particles. It is, however, impossible to strain bacteria from milk. Therefore, a milk cooling tank is an essential purchase for successful dairy production. Cooling tanks ensure the consistent quality of your dairy products.

Milk retains its excellent quality when stored at temperatures below 4 °C until it is processed into dairy products.

It is not advised to process milk immediately after milking. This is one of the reasons why you should have a milk cooling tank especially when there is a long period of time between milking and pasteurisation or processing. Milk is usually pasteurised before it is processed. Only properly cooled milk can be consumed raw. Milk cools too slowly in a regular refrigerator as compared to a cooling tank which cools milk 20 times faster. They ensure that the whole milk is at the same temperature by stirring warm milk in the middle.
