Milk Silo Specifications
Liscarroll Milk Tanks are designed to be reliable easy to use and service friendly.
All components used to regulate the cooling and washing functions are commercially available “off -the-shelf” parts if required readily available at affordable prices. Only reputable and well-known brands are used.
Option
- Independent Tank Monitoring & Management System
- Alerts via SMS, Email and Phone Call
- Daily Temperature Reports
- Remote Access Anytime Anywhere
- And Much More
Cooling Regulation
- Conventional thermostatic expansion valves to control refrigerate flow and protect the compressor. Located on the rear of tank on top
- Compressors(s) on DX tank with “pump-down” system to protect evaporator plates from possible damage from hot washing
- High Density Polyutherane (ECO friendly)foamed insulation up to 200mm thick between inner and outer vessels creating high rigidity and excellent insulation
- Minimum heat loss and reduced running costs
Agitation
- Standard SIREM motors. Motors that are made specifically for Milk cooling tanks and are the most widely used make on Milk Tanks across Europe and beyond
- Motors are protected from damage by preventing contact with wash water either by use of Waterproof Gaskets or raised Agitator Mounting Plate
LE-Series Controllers Include
- LE-200
- Built in Quick Wash and deep cool functions
- Option of automatic or manual descale
- Temperature and wash cycle step display
- Built in back-up cooling function
- Pre-configured one touch wash programmes and times for ease of use
- Flexible and future proofed solution
- LE-300
- Robot compatible with pulse cooling feature
- Complete monitoring capability
- Built in back-up cooling function
- Pre-configured one touch wash programmes and times for ease of use
- Built in Quick Wash and deep cool functions
- Option of automatic or manual descale
- Flexible and future proofed solution
Stand Out Features:
- Optimum Perforamnce
- Maximum Reliability
- Minimum Operating Costs
Our standard controller is the LE-200. This controls the cooling, agitation and washing functions
- Cooling start delay for the first milking
- Deep cool timed facility (temperature controlled at 20C) to ensure milk is at the required collection temperature sooner and to maximize use of lower rate electricity
- Optional visual or audible alarms (e.g. Cooling time exceeded for first milking)
Independent backup cooling controller (Carel) built-in as standard further protecting your investment.
OPTION: Our LE-300 controller in addition to the above has full Robot Milking compatibility and complete monitoring capability.
Cooling Units
- Copeland Scroll Compressors for unbeatable efficiency and reliability
Evaporator Plates
- Conventional thermostatic expansion valves to control refrigerate flow and protect the compressor. Located on the rear of tank on top
- Compressors(s) on DX tank with “pump-down” system to protect evaporator plates from possible damage from hot washing
- Superior energy efficient performance due to low volume evaporator plates resulting in less power required to fill the plates with coolant
- Optimised dimple pattern in the lasered plates ensures high turbulence and more economical cooling
