Milk Pumps ConstantFlow
ConstantFlow: True variable speed milk pump A better way of cooling milk and saving money
• Lowers milk temperature into the bulk tank
• Reduced cooling times
• Reduced energy consumption
• Better for the environment
Pre-cooling the milk before it enters the bulk tank ensures fast cooling (and hence better milk quality) and lowers the energy used by the bulk tank.
Plate cooler efficiency depends on a consistent water-to-milk flow rate ratio of 2:1. However, conventional milk pumps are set up to start when milk in the receiver reaches a certain level and stop whilst the receiver fills up again. The milk therefore ebbs and flows through the plate cooler, fluctuating from no milk passing through at all to flow rates that far exceed the target, which equates to half that of the water. Often the water flow rate that is achievable is restricted by limited water supply capacity, and the situation is further exacerbated by the use of a high-capacity milk pump.
