The zero-residue drainage design, 28 RPM agitator system, and scroll compressor ensure consistent milk quality while the IP65-rated electrical components guarantee reliable operation in demanding dairy environments.
Saset Horizontal Milk Cooling Tanks
Premium Construction Quality
- Stainless Steel Excellence
Every Saset horizontal milk cooling tank is manufactured entirely from food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, the industry standard for dairy equipment due to its superior corrosion resistance, hygienic properties, and durability. The inner tank walls feature 2mm thick stainless steel construction that provides structural integrity while maintaining optimal heat transfer characteristics.
The innovative design incorporates a 0.8mm laser-welded evaporator coupling directly bonded to the inner surface, creating an exceptionally efficient cooling interface. This precision laser welding eliminates gaps and ensures uniform heat distribution across the entire milk contact surface. The outer tank shell features 1.5mm stainless steel construction, providing additional strength and protection.
- Professional Finishing
All welded joints are executed using Argon TIG welding technology, producing first-class smooth welds that meet pharmaceutical-grade cleanliness standards. These perfectly polished welds eliminate crevices where bacteria could harbor, ensuring the highest levels of milk hygiene. The smooth inner surfaces with rounded angles facilitate thorough cleaning and prevent milk residue accumulation.
- Advanced Insulation Technology
The 60mm insulation gap between the inner and outer tanks is filled with water-based, HCFC-free high-density polyurethane foam that delivers exceptional thermal efficiency. This environmentally responsible insulation maintains consistent milk temperatures while minimizing compressor runtime and reducing electricity consumption by up to 40% compared to conventionally insulated tanks.
Direct Expansion Cooling System
- Superior Cooling Technology
Saset horizontal tanks utilize direct expansion (DX) cooling technology, the most energy-efficient method available for milk refrigeration. In this system, the evaporator forms the outer jacket of the inner tank, surrounding the milk completely. This direct contact eliminates intermediate heat transfer steps, resulting in faster cooling times and lower energy consumption.
- Rapid Chilling Performance
The powerful cooling system achieves remarkable performance specifications:
- Cools milk from body temperature (32°C-38°C) to safe storage temperature (4°C) in less than 3 hours
- Operates efficiently in ambient temperatures up to 35°C, ideal for Kenya’s tropical climate
- Uses R-404A refrigerant charged at optimized levels for maximum efficiency
- Provides frost-free cooling even with minimum milk quantities in the tank
- Maintains consistent temperatures during milk storage periods
- Professional-Grade Components
Each cooling system features a scroll compressor mounted on a robust monolithic chassis alongside the tank. Scroll compressors are renowned for their reliability, quiet operation, and superior energy efficiency compared to reciprocating designs. The integrated chassis design minimizes vibration and ensures stable operation throughout the tank’s operational life.
- Intelligent Mixing System
The integrated agitation system features a precision-engineered 28 RPM reducer coupled to stainless steel mixing blades. This carefully calibrated speed ensures gentle but thorough milk circulation, preventing cream separation and temperature stratification without damaging delicate milk fat globules or creating excessive foam.
The automated mixing system operates intelligently based on milk temperature. After reaching the target cooling temperature, the programmable controller cycles the mixer on and off at customizable intervals (typically 10 minutes on, 5 minutes off) to maintain uniform temperature with minimal energy consumption.
Advanced Electrical Control Systems
- User-Friendly Touch Screen Interface
The ergonomically designed control panel features an intuitive touch screen interface that makes tank operation simple even for operators with minimal technical training. The special design provides at-a-glance status information and easy access to all control functions.
- Comprehensive Monitoring and Control
The sophisticated electronic control system includes:
- Digital Thermometer: Provides real-time temperature monitoring with precision accuracy
- Electronic Control Card: Manages all cooling and mixing operations automatically
- Automated Temperature Management: Maintains milk within specified temperature ranges without manual intervention
- Phase Protection Relay: Safeguards the compressor and electrical components from voltage irregularities
- IP65 Protection Rating: Ensures electrical components withstand the humid, washdown environment of dairy facilities
- Reliable Power Management
Designed for Kenya’s 380V 50/60Hz power supply, the electrical system incorporates multiple safety features that protect your investment from power-related damage while ensuring uninterrupted operation.
- Digital Level Indicator System
The precision digital level monitoring system provides exceptional accuracy with measurement precision within 0.2% (±0-2‰). The system displays milk quantity in both kilograms and liters on the main control panel, allowing operators to track inventory precisely. This accurate volume measurement assists with production planning, quality documentation, and financial record-keeping.
Automated CIP Cleaning System
- Clean-in-Place Technology
The integrated CIP (Clean-in-Place) system revolutionizes tank sanitation by automating the entire cleaning process. This sophisticated system cleans all interior surfaces, pipes, fittings, and associated equipment without requiring disassembly, dramatically reducing labor requirements and ensuring consistent cleaning quality.
Key CIP Features
- One-Button Operation: Initiate complete cleaning cycles with a single touch
- Mechanical Residue Removal: Powerful spray action removes milk residues from all internal circuits
- Low Chemical Consumption: Optimized detergent dosing minimizes operating costs
- Easy Detergent Management: User-friendly cabinet and precision dosing pump simplify chemical handling
- Safety Interlocks: Advanced security systems prevent water contamination of milk product
Practical Design Features
- Optimized Product Flow
The tank design incorporates thoughtful features that streamline daily operations:
-
- DN50 Male Butterfly Valves: Large product outlet with reliable butterfly valve design ensures quick, complete discharge
- 90mm Spring-Covered Inlet: Generous inlet diameter accommodates high milk flow rates during filling
- 200mm Manhole: Wide access opening with 100mm inlet facilitates thorough inspection and manual cleaning when needed
