Bulk Coolers
In dairy farming Bulk Cooler is a large storage tank for cooling and holding milk at a cold temperature until it can be picked up by a milk hauler. The bulk cooler is an important piece of dairy farm equipment. It is usually made of stainless steel and used every day to store the raw milk on the farm in good condition. It must be cleaned after each milk collection. The bulk cooler can be the property of the farmer or be rented from a dairy plant. There are two primary methods of cooling milk entering the bulk cooler, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The tank capacity and type will depend on herd size, calving pattern, frequency of milk collection, required milk quality, energy and water availability and future plans for development.
