Large Outdoor Milk Storage Silo

A vertical outdoor silo for holding fresh milk in volume at a dairy plant, built as a three layer tank with insulation and a cooling jacket so the load stays at temperature between the reception bay and the processing line. Volumes run from 15000L to 120,000L and are customised, with the shell in SUS304 or SUS316L depending on the product and the cleaning chemistry. The same silo also holds other liquid food products where outdoor tank farm storage is wanted instead of indoor floor space.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Outdoor installation frees indoor floor area that would otherwise be lost to bulk storage tanks

Three layer construction with insulation and cooling jacket holds milk temperature so intake milk does not have to be processed the same hour it arrives

Volume is customised between 15000L and 120,000L so silo size follows daily intake instead of forcing intake to follow a catalogue size

SUS304 or SUS316L shell lets the buyer match the material to the product and the cleaning regime rather than accepting one grade

CIP cleaning ball and aseptic sample valve are fitted as standard so cleaning and sampling do not need site fabrication

Problems

Problems It Solves

Indoor tanks consume production floor space that is needed for processing equipment

Uninsulated bulk storage lets intake milk warm up and bacteria grow before processing

Fixed catalogue tank volumes rarely match the plant daily intake so capacity is either wasted or short

Tanks without integral CIP and sampling fittings force site modification before the plant can pass hygiene audit

Comparison

How It Compares

Indoor single layer storage tank

The outdoor silo carries insulation and a cooling jacket so it can stand outside and release indoor floor area

Milk cooling tank

A cooling tank chills incoming milk while this silo holds already cooled milk in bulk volume

Milk transport tank

The transport tank is sized and saddled for a truck while the silo is a fixed outdoor installation

FAQ

Large Outdoor Milk Storage Silo FAQ

What volume can the silo be built to

Volumes run from 15000L to 120,000L and are customised, so the silo is sized from your daily milk intake rather than picked from a fixed range.

Which stainless steel grade should I order

SUS304 and SUS316L are both available. SUS316L is the usual choice where the product or the cleaning chemistry is more aggressive, and the grade is fixed in the order.

How is the tank kept cold outdoors

It is a three layer build with insulation and a cooling jacket, with cooling inlet and outlet connections and a PT100 thermometer so temperature can be followed.

Can it store products other than milk

Yes. The silo is also used for other liquid food products that need insulated bulk storage.

How is the silo cleaned

A CIP cleaning ball is part of the standard fitting list, and an aseptic sample valve and manway are provided for sampling and inspection.

What lead time applies

Lead time depends on the volume, grade and fitting list ordered and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
