There are many advantages with an attached cooling unit; easy transportation, quick and cheap installation and no need to fill the refrigerant on farm. With an attached cooling unit, you get a compact plug & play solution, perfectly adapted to your needs. The possibility to get an attached cooling unit on your tank depends on the number and size of the compressors and thus the cooling capacity and cooling class. For robotic milking, the cooling capacity is lower and thus attached cooling is possible even for bigger tank sizes. Please contact your local dealer or Wedholms directly to find out if an attached cooling unit is an alternative for you. In markets with hot climate, we recommend to place the cooling unit outdoors since it might be hard to achieve sufficient ventilation of the heat produced by the cooling unit. Placement outdoors is possible with a separated cooling unit.

If the temperature of the cleaning water is low, there is an obvious risk for bacterial growth in the tank. A heater can be chosen as an option if there is not enough hot water available on the farm. It is installed directly on the tank, connected to the cleaning system and it will secure the water temperature and thus milk quality. Note that for silos and horizontal tanks with two cleaning pumps (14,000 liters and bigger), two heaters can be installed, which doubles the heating capacity. The heater keeps the water at the right temperature, during the main cleaning, and thus the total cleaning time can increase if the starting temperature of the water is low. Our recommendation is therefore always to install a separate boiler tank to grant hot water availability at all times and to keep down the cleaning time. The boiler tank should contain about 50 percent more water than is needed for one cleaning cycle, so that the water temperature is maintained throughout the whole cleaning.
