milk temperature

[jimmer]

our new (to us) milk silo is an animal
what temp do most have it go down to
ours takes it to 3.2 before cuttting out then starts up again at 4
it is down to around 4 by the end of milking but takes another 15 mins to get it to 3.2
is it necessary to take it down to 3.2 is 4 cold enough
with the new plate cooler that takes borehole water and ice water it goes in at 9.8

 

[multi power]

4.5 deg is cold enough

below 4 and i'm happy

 

[Fergieman]

ours cuts out at 4.

 

[Princess Pooper]

ours cuts out at 4 and cuts in again at 4.5

I always used to like really nice cold milk but when it's warm it expands so ideally as warm as you can get away with.

Work tank cuts out at 3.9 I think.

4 - 4.5.

How many litres is it?

How cheap @jimmer ?

 

[jimmer]

either 22 or 24 thousand litres not too sure
i cant remember what jon paid for it but it has cost more than we first thought to install as being stood up for five years things were either ceased up or just not working
it is a crown silo which is kiwi made i think, it came from the buccluech estate in scotland and there arent many more in the country , our fridge bloke said it has the largest dimple plate area he has seen on a silo and is really impressed with the performance

Mik is at its densest at 4 degrees so it may well pay to take it colder

Sometime ago the tanker driver would litter drop his route tickets, being vaguely nosy I would have a look. Most temps were nearer 3 than 4, so I pushed mine up to boost the average to nearer 4

 

[Dr. Alkathene]

Ours is 4 degrees.

got some finishing off to do around front console but other than that she is away and working a treat
had high bacto this morning so am going to laminate a sampling procedure sheet for the drivers ,so they dont take it out of the tap at the bottom where the milk lies and doesnt get stirred
although saying that the fats were 4.35 and protein was 3.57 so it cant have been taken out of the filling tap else they would be a lot lower hmmmmmmm

has that got an auto washer? the one i used in nz didnt, my job was always washing it before morning milking, one morning in a rush i fecked up with the seal on the door, only noticed when milk started coming out at top of door

do you fill in the same tap where tanker gets milk out? we filled from the back, whitch was good if tanker came while we were still milking

dont the tanker have an auto sampeler as it fills tanker drips into sample bottle ?

 

[jimmer]

yes it has auto wash it uses milkmanager 2000
only one tap tanker comes at 10pm if i still milking then there is a problem unless we start on 3x a day
