DX-FF Milk Tanks

Bulk Milk Cooling Tanks

Fabdec’s DX-FF range of bulk milk tanks are designed to offer extreme efficiency and outstanding reliability. Using state-of-the-art technology they provide advanced cooling and washing performance every time, ensuring that the quality of the milk is maintained. Every Fabdec tank is manufactured from high quality stainless steel and comes with a long-term guarantee for complete peace of mind.

The standard DX-FF tank is designed for indoor use. However for outdoor applications the DX-FF ‘KOOL-STOR’ model has a fully weatherproof control unit making it suitable for external use. A DX-FF ‘Low Profile’ model is available for installation in dairies where height or space restrictions apply. All models are available in capacities ranging from 1200 to 34,000 litres to suit the individual requirements of any farm.

QUANTUS & MAGNUS

Plate Cooler

Plate coolers are very efficient at taking heat out of milk and play an important role in ensuring milk is cooled quickly for storage. Using mains or ice water they reduce the demand for electrical energy and are extremely cost effective. Current estimates show that an extra 1°C reduction could save you up to £500 a year with the right plate cooler (based on 3 million litres production at 35p/kWh).

Fabdec QUANTUS plate coolers are manufactured from high quality stainless steel. They are wall-mounted with clip on gaskets for ease of replacement. Floor-mounting is also an option.

Fabdec MAGNUS plate coolers are manufactured to the same high quality but are floor-mounted with large format plates for high performance and are suitable for a high milk flow of up to 18,000 litres per hour.

SPIRA-KOOL

Tubular pre-cooler

Tubular pre-coolers are particularly well suited to robotic milking systems. The milk is only in contact with the
stainless steel tube within SPIRA-KOOL and cleaning takes place together with the robot milkline.

Unlike a plate cooler SPIRA-KOOL has no seals and can be emptied with compressed air, meaning that milk
does not remain in the pre-cooler for long. Well water, tap water or ice water can all be used with SPIRA-KOOL.

KOOL-PAK

Ice Builder

Fabdec KOOL-PAK ice builders are used in conjunction with plate coolers to provide ice water for additional pre-cooling of the milk, helping to improve milk quality. They are economical to run as they largely use over night electricity on a cheap night rate to build the ice bank and have potential to cut cooling costs by a third.

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS

The idea of heat recovery is simple. Waste heat from any refrigeration process can be recovered and converted into hot water at temperatures of up to 60°C. The current energy situation means this technology is now of paramount importance.

Fabdec has pioneered heat recovery successfully for 3 decades and our product SPAR-HEAT offers simplicity and security. It uses a double-walled coil heat exchanger, has no moving parts and is simple to install.
