ED-5 Reception of Raw Milk

A tank or trough for the reception of raw milk permits discharge of the milk manually, in milk churns, or by means of cistern trucks. It has a maximum capacity of 5.000 litres/hour.

The maximum temperature foreseen for the milk on arrival is 25º C.

The raw milk is poured onto a pre-filter in order to eliminate the largest of any solid particles. The milk is stored in a tank specially designed for this purpose which has a capacity of 150 litres. This deposit tank has probes installed to detect both maximum and minimum levels. When the minimum level is detected the machine will start working. Another filter situated in the lower part of the unit undertakes a second elimination of solid particles, this time finer ones.

The pump propels the milk through the plate heat exchanger which cools the fluid from 25º C (max.) to 4º C.

Technical informations

Milk reception module with filter is fixed on a frame made of stainless steel AISI 304. The reception tank has a volume of 150 l. The primary filter is made of perforated mesh for reception in milk churns, the second straight filter with 0,5 mm fine mesh in stainless steel AISI 316L DN40 with EPDM gasket. a fine mesch of 0,5 mm from stainless steel AISI 316L  DN40 with an EPDM gasket. Sanitary centrifugal pump Hyginox, 3,000 rmp, 0,55 kW to propel product, as well as a DN40 stainless steel AISI 316L futterfly valve with EPDM seal and multi-posiiton handle. The system is also equipped with level sensor probes, a DN25 electromagnetic flowmeter and an AISI 316L stainless steel plate interchanger with an NBR gaskets. The control cabinet is built in stainless steel AISI 304.

The system provides the option of calculating the heat exchanger individually according to the specific inlet temperature  (25º – 35º C). The ED-5 allows connection to a central CIP cleaning system and a secondary filter upstream detection trigger.
