DT Stainless Steel Pasteurizers

Pasteurizing with the Dairy Tech system couldn't be made any easier. Simply fill the pasteurizer drum with milk by having it pumped directly in while milking, or fill it with buckets. Replace the lid and push the START button on the control board. Now go back to the other important tasks on the dairy and allow the automated cycle to go to work. The heater will come on by itself as the propeller begins to circulate the milk for even heating. The thermocouple monitors the temperature of the milk until it reaches that required for pasteurization. Colostrum heated to 140°F (60°C) and held for 60 minutes, milk heated to 145F (63°C) and held for 30 minutes. Our equipment is easily adjusted to accommodate both time/temperature combinations. However, at the factory we set the equipment to the lower temperature to protect the immunoglobulin in the colostrum, and for more energy efficient heating. Once the timing of the heat cycle is complete, the system automatically shuts down the heat and sends cold water through to cool the milk. The propeller continues to mix the milk for efficient cooling. At the end of the cycle, the equipment sounds an alarm and shuts down. The milk can now be fed to the calves at normal body temperature, or it can be cooled further to be fed later.
