Automatic Receiving of Raw Milk

Automatic Vehicle and Driver Identification

• All necessary information on the receiving of milk (temperature, quantity, details of vehicle and driver) are recorded automatically and stored in a central control system. The data can be used for the verification and optimization of the processes.
• The terminal at the receiving of milk allows the selection of receiving site and storage cistern.
• The driver and road tanker are automatically identified using RFID cards.

Gravitational Receiving of Raw Milk

The raw milk from the tank truck falls through gravity into containers for de-ventilation in order to exclude the maximum amount of air from the milk.
Air in milk (there can be 10 % or more) is undesirable because:

• Errors in volume measurement of the received amount of milk
• Causes burns on the pasteurizer
• Reduces the capacity of milk skimming in the separator
• Prevents accurate automatic standardization of milk
