[QUOTE="Mr Mackay, post: 7797646, member: 2575"] Never ever thought aboout a diaphragm milk pump to supply a plate cooler . Seems a perfect solution to a problem that has made me think several times of getting my brother in law to fit the second hand variable milk pump ,in place of the standard one we have that has a choke valve on it ! He hates me choking the milk off ,cites butterfying the milk and wrecking the seals :X3: but I persist , as its the only way I can get that extra few degrees off the plate coolers , apart from speeding up water flow or getting colder water ! So an inverter would do for us ,because we are single phase , but I like the idea of the more constant gentle flow you would get from a diaphragm pump . We still have our old Fullwood single diaphragm pump in the loft but that wont be any good any more even thought I can recall putting new copper bearings in it ,and new rubber plates :p Only joking , I see those diaphragm pumps arent made any more ! Must be rare as hens teeth? Mind you ,just think of the extra vacuum you'll have when you get rid of it Good luck [/QUOTE]
