Milk Cooling Tanks and Storage Solutions
DD Cooling provides milk cooling storage tanks and silos mainly used in dairy farming and milk processing to store and cool fresh milk. The primary goal of these tanks is to reduce the temperature of milk rapidly to preserve the milk’s quality, prevent bacterial growth, and maintain the milk’s freshness until it can be transported or processed.
About Milk Cooling and Storage Systems
- Horizontal Tanks: Capacity ranging from 1000ltr to 36,500ltr
- Vertical Silos: Capacity ranging from 12000ltr to 60,000ltr

Horizontal Milk Storage Silo Tanks
Horizontal milk tanks are available in capacities ranging from 1,000 to 36,500 litres and are designed to rapidly cool milk, preserving its quality and freshness. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel for hygiene and durability, they can be installed indoors or outdoors with an optional storage kit. In addition to milk, these tanks are suitable for cooling and storing liquids such as water, beer, cream, yoghurt, liquid eggs and blood.
Vertical Milk Storage Silo Tanks
Vertical milk silos capacity ranges from 12,000ltr to 60,000ltr. The silos offer the same milk storage and cooling benefits as the horizontal tanks but with the added advantage of offering increased capacity without the need for a larger dairy. The silos can either be installed as a stand alone unit with outdoor access doors (i.e no dairy required) or located directly next to an existing dairy.
Ice Builders
Ice builders (thermal stores) are designed to provide ice water for rapid pre-cooling of milk when used alongside plate coolers, improving cooling efficiency and maintaining milk quality. They produce ice water at approximately 0.5°C by storing energy as ice, which can be generated overnight or during the day to utilise solar energy. Available in capacities ranging from 500kg to 5,000kg of ice, they offer an energy-efficient solution for dairy cooling systems.
Glycol Chiller
The chiller uses a mixture of glycol (a type of antifreeze) and water to transfer heat making it ideal for applications where the cooling liquid needs to remain liquid even at sub-zero temperatures.
Capacity ranging from 5.5Kw upwards.
Plate Cooler
A plated heat exchanger consists of thin, corrugated stainless-steel plates, which are arranged in a stack. The corrugations improve turbulence in the fluid flow, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.
The number of plates can be adjusted depending on the required heat transfer capacity & milk flow rates.
HVAC System
Heat recovery involves the transfer of ‘waste’ heat from the hot refrigerant gases in the milk cooling system to heat water. Water temperatures of up to 60°C can be achieved from heat recovery.
