The dairy industry forms an important part of the food industry worldwide. This industry ensures that milk is collected, processed and delivered to end consumers in a healthy and hygienic manner. Equipment used to collect milk efficiently, maintain its quality and measure it are the cornerstones of this sector.
Milk Tanks
The first stage where milk is collected from the farm is milk tanks. These tanks ensure proper storage of milk. Modern milk tanks are designed in accordance with hygienic standards, regulate the temperature of the milk and prevent microbial contamination.
Milk Cooling Tanks
Milk should be cooled immediately after it is collected. Milk cooling tanks allow milk to be quickly cooled and stored. These tanks are designed keeping energy efficiency and milk quality in mind.
Milk Pumps
Milk pumps play a critical role in moving milk from tanks to processing plants. Hygienic and durable breast pumps ensure the healthy transportation of milk.

Milk Purchasing Scale
These are systems that aim to measure the amount of milk in Liters and/or Kg at the milk purchasing point. Different tank sizes are preferred depending on the hourly milk input capacity. It also serves as a kind of balance tank between the milk transport tanker and the milk storage tank.
Hat Filtre
Sp Makina Line Filters; These are units that aim at the rough filtration of substances that are visible to the eye and considered as pollution factors by being integrated into the pipeline where the milk flows.
Microfilter
Different methods are applied to reduce the bacterial load of raw milk. The most commonly preferred method is heat treatment (Pasteurization, Thermization, Sterilization, etc.). Membrane process technology has come to the fore as a result of the trend towards alternative methods in order to save energy and eliminate the possible effects of beneficial bacteria and other beneficial components inherent in milk.
Clarifier
Clarificators are equipments which operate with the principal of centrifugal seperation, just like in Cream Seperators. They are used for the purpose of removing leukocytes and ephitelial cells from the milk and providing a cleaner raw milk prior to processing. The milk being fed into the seperator bowl; the leukocytes and other bacterial cells move up as their density is higher than milk and discharged manually or automatically.
Termizasyon Sistemi
Thermisation (also known as thermalisation) is a mild continuous heat treat-ment, immediately followed by cooling, such that the properties of the raw milk are almost unchanged while its bacterial flora, especially the psychrotrophic flora, is considerably reduced.
Cooling Plate Heat Exchanger
Cooling the milk soon after milking process is quite critical for protecting it from bacterial growth unwanted proteolytic activities. This will end up with a decrease on the final product quality and production yield, which makes cooling process important for both public health and economic income.
Storage Tanks
Sp Makina Storage Tanks are units where milk is stored until it is processed. In cases where milk is cooled by Cooling Plate Heat Exchanger prior to storage, the isolated body of storage tank protecs the milk from environmental effects, which is mostly the risk of an increase on the milk temperature.
Cooling Tanks
Sp Makina Cooling Tanks; They are the preferred units in milk collection centers or milk purchasing units of small-scale enterprises. Keeping the milk in the cold chain from milking until it is put into production is an extremely critical point in terms of preventing microbial growth and achieving the desired quality in the final product.
Milk Intake Unit
With Sp Makina Fully Automatic Milk Intake Unit; While recording the milk arriving at the enterprise in a regular and safe manner, it is aimed to clean and cool the milk to a certain extent before storage, and to purify it from air bubbles and undesirable odors to a certain extent through the deaerator.
