2000L SS304 Milk Cooling Tank Product Introduction
The 2000L SS304 milk cooling tank with agitator is a high-capacity refrigeration and storage solution designed for dairy farms, milk collection centers, and dairy processing facilities. This system is specifically engineered to rapidly cool fresh milk from approximately 35°C to 4°C, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and preserving milk freshness, taste, and nutritional value.
With a capacity of 2000 liters, this model is ideal for medium to large-scale dairy operations where stable cooling performance and reliable storage are critical. The tank is constructed with food-grade SS304 stainless steel, ensuring hygienic processing, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability under continuous industrial use.
The integrated agitator system ensures uniform temperature distribution and prevents cream separation, maintaining consistent milk quality during storage. Combined with a high-efficiency refrigeration system, this tank provides an optimal solution for improving milk quality, reducing spoilage losses, and enhancing overall production efficiency.
