How it works
What is Direct Expansion?
Milk is cooled directly by circulating refrigerant through the laser-welded evaporator plates of the tank. Direct Expansion is the most widely used method of milk cooling worldwide, less expensive to buy and more economical to run than the alternatives. The standard Liscarroll milk tank has a compact elliptical shape that adds to its efficiency.
