Product Overview
A large outdoor milk storage silo from 15,000 L to 120,000 L in SUS304 or SUS316L, built as a three layer tank with insulation and jacket. The inner shell is 3 to 4 mm, the outer cladding 2 mm and the cooling jacket 1.5 mm. It is supplied with product inlet and outlet, manway, side agitator, PT100 thermometer, air ventilation cap, aseptic sample valve, CIP cleaning ball, cooling inlet and outlet and level instrumentation.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Plate Thicknesses Published
Inner shell 3-4 mm, outer cladding 2 mm, cooling jacket 1.5 mm. Silo quotations rarely state these, and they are what the price difference between suppliers actually comes from.
Built to Stand Outdoors
Three layer construction with insulation and cladding is what lets a silo hold milk temperature outside, which frees the building for process equipment.
Aseptic Sample Valve Fitted
Milk in bulk storage has to be sampled without contaminating the silo. The valve is standard rather than an extra.
Side Agitator as Standard
A side agitator keeps fat from separating during long holding periods, which is what keeps the silo contents homogeneous for the next process step.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Bulk raw milk storage at a large dairy plant
- Outdoor silo storage freeing indoor floor space
- Buffer storage between milk intake and processing
- Storing other liquid food products in bulk
- Holding milk between tanker deliveries and processing runs
- Large dairy factories requiring 120,000 L capacity
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Large Dairy Factories
The silo is used in big milk production factories where storage volume exceeds what can sensibly sit indoors.
Plants Short of Building Space
Outdoor silos move bulk storage out of the process hall entirely.
Processors of Other Bulk Liquids
The silo can also store other liquid food products where the same construction suits them.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Bulk Storage Consuming Factory Floor
An insulated outdoor silo holds the volume without taking building space.
Temperature Loss in Outdoor Storage
Three layer construction with insulation and a 1.5 mm cooling jacket is what maintains milk temperature outdoors.
Sampling Without Contaminating the Silo
An aseptic sample valve is fitted as a standard component.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Size the silo against tanker delivery volume and processing draw-down rate.
Step 2
Confirm foundation design for a full silo at your chosen volume.
Step 3
Specify SUS316L where water chloride levels justify it.
Step 4
Connect the CIP cleaning ball into the plant CIP circuit at installation.
Step 5
Verify agitator run times so milk is homogeneous without being sheared.

Guides That Cover This Product
Pasteurisation Versus UHT for Liquid Dairy
Three thermal profiles, three different machines and three different distribution models. Which one your plant needs is decided by shelf life and cold chain, not by capacity.
Specifying a CIP System That Actually Cleans
A cleaning cycle that runs without flow cleans nothing and reports success. Conductivity monitoring, flow switches and return pump selection are what make CIP verifiable.
