Storage tank for milk and milk products
LevelPoint Level
Overview
Milk and milk-based products such as cream, standard and pasteurized milk have to be stored in the correct quantities depending on production requirements. Since whole milk tends to separate into milk and cream even at low temperatures, it has to be circulated during storage. The quality of the milk must not be affected by stirring. To ensure that the circulation does not begin until the agitator is completely covered with product, a reliable measurement is required.
