Food Milk Receiving Tank
A food milk receiving tank holding incoming milk at reception, buffering delivery against the processing rate so the plant runs steadily rather than in step with the tankers.
A reception tank has two jobs beyond holding volume: it keeps the milk cold from the moment it arrives, since bacterial counts rise quickly otherwise, and it gives the plant a measured, agitated volume to draw from. Insulation, agitation and CIP cleanability are therefore the specification, along with level measurement for reception accounting. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your daily intake and delivery pattern and we will size the tank.
