Inputs
- maximum milk-pump flow
- milk inlet temperature
- seasonal water temperature
- available water flow and pressure
DairyMaster · Milk pre-cooling
Plate Cooler
A plate heat exchanger that reduces milk temperature before it enters the tank or silo.
Quick decision
Is this solution right for your farm?
Consider it when
Projects with suitable water supply that need lower refrigeration load
We clarify before quoting
Herd size, operating zone and housing method, daily load, dimensions and routes, water, power, cleaning and service.
Another solution may be better when
Animal group, layout, capacity, operating method or site utilities differ.
Best suited for
Projects with suitable water supply that need lower refrigeration load
Capabilities and controlled parameters
- Calculation depends on milk and water flow and temperatures
- Section count follows the required duty
- Water quality affects operation and service
- Hydraulics must not constrain peak milk flow
- The exchanger is included in the washing circuit
- Warmed water may be reused in agreed farm applications
Cooling engineering scope
Plate Cooler: pre-cooling starts with water and flow balance
A plate cooler reduces tank load when water flow and temperature match the actual milk flow. Seasonal water temperature and water quality are especially important in Uzbekistan.
Hydraulics
- water-to-milk flow balance
- pressure drop and plate sizing
- milk-pump speed control
- water discharge and beneficial reuse
Hygiene
- food-grade stainless construction
- validated wash-cycle integration
- filtration before the exchanger
- deposit and water-quality control
Integration
- parlour and milk-line connection
- reduced refrigeration-tank load
- expandable plate pack
- inspection and service access
Engineered for Uzbekistan
We verify summer ambient temperature, water temperature and quality, available electrical capacity, backup power, milking schedule and milk collection. Configuration is fixed only after thermal and hydraulic calculations.
Outlet milk temperature cannot be promised without water temperature and flow, milk flow, plate count and the condition of heat-transfer surfaces.
LabLog
Implementation considerations
The final parlour configuration depends on milking herd size, milking frequency, group size, shift duration, building layout, collecting yard, operators, water, power and milk cooling. LabLog starts with an engineering brief and never defines throughput from stall count alone.
How LabLog supports the project
- 01Capture herd, group and milking-routine data
- 02Review the building plan, collecting yard and cow routes
- 03Calculate parlour type, stall count and operating cycle
- 04Coordinate milk, vacuum, washing and cooling systems
- 05Configure automation, installation, commissioning, training and service parts
