Stainless steel milk weighing tank on a supporting frame

Milk Weighing Tank

A small stainless steel tank used to weigh fresh milk at the point of collection, normally on the farm, before the milk moves on to the production line or the next processing area. The build is deliberately simple so it stays easy to operate, clean and maintain, and it is manufactured to food hygienic standard with no dead corner in the product contact area. Volumes run from 300L to 1500L, customised, with the shell in SUS304 or SUS316L.

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

Milk quantity is established at the farm so supplier settlement and plant intake records start from the same figure

Simple structure keeps operator training short where the tank is used by farm staff rather than plant technicians

No dead corner construction means the tank can be washed out properly between suppliers

Volume from 300L to 1500L suits individual farm deliveries rather than plant scale batches

SUS304 or SUS316L shell meets food contact expectations without a separate lining

Problems

Problems It Solves

Without a weighing step at collection, supplier volume disputes are settled from estimates

Complex intake equipment is impractical on a farm where operators are not plant technicians

Vessels with dead corners cannot be cleaned reliably between different suppliers milk

Oversized intake vessels are wasteful where individual deliveries are small

Where is a weighing tank normally used

Mainly on farms and at milk collection points, with the milk moving on afterwards to the production line or next processing area.

Is the tank suitable for food contact

Yes. It is built in SUS304 or SUS316L and manufactured to food hygienic standard with no dead corner in the product contact area.

How difficult is it to clean

The structure is simple and free of dead corners, which is what makes it straightforward to wash between deliveries.

Yes. Volume, grade and the inlet, outlet and support arrangement are set to the installation.

How long does delivery take

Delivery time depends on the volume and grade ordered and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
