For quick cooling and secure raw milk storage at collection locations, SM Engineering's Bulk Milk Cooler (BMC) is a high-performance, sanitary, and energy-efficient solution. Precision-engineered and constructed from food-grade stainless steel (SS304), the cooler has long-lasting inner and outer tanks and high-density PU insulation to keep temperatures low for prolonged periods of time.Available in a range of capacities from 300 to 5000 liters, it caters to the needs of small to large-scale dairy operations.
The BMC is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor, eco-friendly refrigerants (R404A or R134a), and efficient evaporator plates that ensure quick and uniform cooling—reducing milk temperature from 35°C to 4°C within just a few hours. It is suitable for use at dairy farms, milk collection centers, and small dairies, and can be customized in capacity depending on demand. This robust design from SM Engineering prioritizes ease of cleaning and operational reliability, providing dairy operators with a dependable solution for maintaining milk quality from collection to processing.
