DARI-KOOL, a division of the Fabdec Group, specializes in advanced dairy farm equipment designed to enhance milk quality, energy efficiency, and operational reliability. With over 60 years of experience in stainless steel manufacturing, Fabdec has become a trusted name in the dairy industry, offering a comprehensive range of products tailored to meet the needs of modern dairy farming. At the core of DARI-KOOL’s offerings are the DX-FF bulk milk cooling tanks, engineered for exceptional efficiency and durability. These tanks are available in various models, including the weatherproof KOOL-STOR for outdoor use and a low-profile version for facilities with height restrictions. Capacities range from 1,200 to 34,000 litres, accommodating farms of all sizes. Each tank features the GALA-KOOL Pro control console, which manages cooling and cleaning processes, ensuring optimal milk storage conditions.
To rapidly reduce milk temperature and preserve quality, DARI-KOOL provides pre-cooling solutions like the QUANTUS and MAGNUS plate coolers. These systems utilise mains or ice water to efficiently lower milk temperature before it enters the bulk tank, significantly reducing energy consumption. The SPIRA-KOOL tubular pre-cooler is particularly suited for robotic milking systems, offering seamless integration and easy cleaning. For enhanced energy efficiency, the KOOL-PAK ice builder generates ice during off-peak hours, supplying ice water for additional milk pre-cooling. This method can potentially cut cooling costs by up to one-third . Additionally, DARI-KOOL’s heat recovery systems, such as SPAR-HEAT and SMART-HEAT, capture waste heat from refrigeration processes to produce hot water, further reducing energy expenses.
Complementing these systems, the UNI-HEAT water heaters deliver on-demand hot water for bulk tank washing, constructed from durable stainless steel for longevity. DARI-KOOL also offers a range of milking parlour accessories, including the FOOT-WASH Pro automatic footbath, which maintains cow hoof health by automating cleaning cycles. Through its innovative and energy-efficient solutions, DARI-KOOL by Fabdec continues to support dairy farmers in optimising milk production and maintaining high-quality standards – Call our Sales Team today for more information about our farming solutions.

QUANTUS & MAGNUS
Plate Cooler
READ MORE
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
READ MORE
Tubular pre-coolers are primarily used for robotic milking farms. The stainless steel tube in tube design allows paraflow heat exchange, and is insulated for optimum performance. Unlike a traditional plate cooler, SPIRA-KOOL has no gaskets, so only the inner stainless tube is in milk contact and can withstand high pressure compressed air, during the milk purge & wash cycle. Mains, well water or ice water can all be used as coolant methods.
KOOL-PAK
Ice Builder
READ MORE
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.
CHILL-PAK
Condensing Units
READ MORE
Fabdec manufacture a full range of condensing units assembled on a stainless steel baseplate and installed terminal box.
SPAR-HEAT
Heat recovery systems
READ MORE
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.
UNI-HEAT
Agricultural Unvented Water Heaters
READ MORE
The UNI-HEAT agricultural unvented water heaters provide hot water on demand for bulk tank washing and similar uses around the dairy farm. Utilising the 50 years of experience gained in stainless steel fabrication and heat transfer technology UNI-HEAT systems provide economical, high-performance tank washing and proven long life expectancy from a durable and robust design.
Foot-Wash Pro
Automatic Footbath For Cows
READ MORE
How often do you use the footbath? And how often do you replace the water? On most farms there is simply not enough time. However, not replenishing the solution regularly can make the footbath spread infections.
FOOT-WASH Pro deals with these issues in an efficient way.
1. The cows are counted automatically.
2. When the set number of cows has passed through, the drain opens automatically.
3. The gate is as wide as the footbath so the used liquid can drain quickly.
4. The footbath tray is cleared with a powerful jet spray.
5. The gate closes again.
6. The footbath is refilled with fresh water.
7. A hoof care product can be added using 1 of the 2 pre-selected dosage pumps.
Milking Systems
Milking and cow hygiene solutions
READ MORE
Cluster Purge Plus is a proven automatic cluster cleaning system that disinfects every cow cluster safely after every cow, quicker than manual spray or dip systems. Cluster Purge Plus significantly reduces the spread of contagious bacteria which if unchecked can affect the whole herd.
Case Study
