MilkMinder

Milk Tank Cooling and Cleaning Controller

The MilkMinder is a fully programmable electronic cooling and wash control system specifically designed for DX milk cooling tanks.

Key features of the MilkMinder are:

  • Fully programmable cooling and wash control system.  Virtually any farm milk cooling and storage requirement can be easily set up within the system.
  • The farm environment is often one of the toughest industrial electrical environments in which to work.  MilkMinder uses a swtich-mode power supply that can accommodate a wide voltage range and electrical fluctuations.
  • Featuring a rugged, modular construction, the MilkMinder is easy to install and simple to operate and service.
  • The MilkMinder has the world's first fully programmable milk tank wash and rinse facility.
  • An internal and comprehensive datalogger provides the service engineer with a useful diagnostic tool that can reduce downtime and plant maintenance costs.

Efficient milk cooling and milk tank hygiene is vital to the quality and freshness of the dairy farmer's product.  Milk is now regarded as one of the most important products for human consumption.
