Fabricated with heavy-gauge AISI SS 304/316 food-grade stainless steel, engineered for 24/7 continuous hygienic operation, high thermal efficiency, and minimal dairy maintenance.
Milk filters and tanks play essential roles in dairy processing, ensuring that milk is clean, safe, and of high quality before reaching consumers. Here’s a detailed description of each component:
Milk filters are used to remove impurities and debris from raw milk. These impurities can include dirt, straw, hair, and other particulate matter that may have been introduced during milking. Proper filtration is crucial to maintain milk quality and safety.
| Inline Filters | These are installed directly in the milk transfer lines and filter milk as it flows through the system. |
| Sock Filters | These are cylindrical filters that milk flows through, trapping debris inside the filter material. |
| Plate Filters | Consist of a series of flat filter plates arranged in a frame, through which milk is passed and filtered. |
| Filtration Material | Usually made of fine mesh, cotton, or synthetic fibers. |
| Flow Rate | Designed to handle the volume of milk being processed without significant resistance or pressure drop. |
| Ease of Cleaning | Should be easy to clean or replace to ensure hygiene and prevent bacterial growth. |
Milk tanks are used for storing, cooling, and sometimes transporting milk. They come in various sizes and configurations depending on the needs of the dairy operation.
| Bulk Storage Tanks | Large tanks used on farms or at processing facilities to store milk before it is transported or processed. |
| Cooling Tanks | Tanks equipped with refrigeration units to quickly cool milk to preserve its quality and prevent spoilage. |
| Transport Tanks | Insulated tanks mounted on trucks for transporting milk from farms to processing plants. |
| Material | Typically made of stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure durability. |
| Insulation | Well-insulated to maintain the desired temperature. |
| Agitation System | Keeps milk uniformly mixed to prevent cream from separating. |
| Cleaning Systems | Often equipped with CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems for thorough and efficient cleaning. |
| Receiving | Raw milk is received and initially filtered to remove any large debris. |
| Cooling | Milk is rapidly cooled in cooling tanks to a temperature that inhibits bacterial growth. |
| Storage | Cooled milk is stored in bulk tanks until it is ready for further processing or transport. |
| Transport | Milk is loaded into transport tanks and delivered to processing facilities. |
| Quality Control | Filters ensure that only clean milk proceeds to storage and processing, which is crucial for high-quality dairy products. |
| Safety | Properly filtered and stored milk reduces the risk of contamination and spoilage. |
| Efficiency | Efficient filtering and cooling systems help maintain continuous and smooth dairy operations, reducing downtime and waste. |
This high-capacity pasteurizer is an integral component of any large-scale dairy operation, ensuring milk is safely processed and ready for consumption or further processing.
Authoritative technical answers regarding capacity sizing, food-grade sanitary construction, Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning, and dairy plant integration from Aviva Equipments engineers.
As a specialized milk filter tanks manufacturer, Aviva designs sanitary filtration systems to eliminate straw, sediment, hair, and extraneous particulate matter from raw milk right at reception docks, safeguarding downstream pasteurizers, homogenizers, and chillers.
Our milk filter tanks utilize food-grade AISI SS 304/SS 316 precision wire mesh and replaceable food-grade filter socks/cartridges with filtration ratings from 50 microns down to 5 microns, ensuring crystal-clear milk filtration without fat shearing.
Duplex filter systems feature two parallel filter chambers connected via sanitary three-way valves. When one filter chamber requires cleaning or basket inspection, milk flow is seamlessly diverted to the second chamber without halting continuous milk processing.
All milk filter tanks are manufactured from food-grade stainless steel with Ra < 0.4 µm internal sanitary finish and clamp-type quick-release top lids. This allows operators to open, inspect, wash, and sanitize the filter baskets within minutes.
Counted among trusted dairy processing equipment manufacturers in india, Aviva delivers heavy-duty fabrication, ISO 9001:2008 certified quality checks, pressure-tested filter housings, and prompt pan-India delivery.
