Plant for Receiving and Treating Fluid Milk – BISIGNANO Milk Reception Systems

BISIGNANO milk receiving and treatment plants are engineered to ensure hygienic, efficient, and controlled handling of fluid milk at the initial stage of dairy processing. Designed to meet modern dairy industry standards, these systems support safe milk reception, cooling, storage, and preparation for further processing.

The milk receipt system is composed of fully sanitary AISI 304 stainless steel centrifugal pumps, ensuring gentle and hygienic milk transfer. Line filters remove impurities, while the deaerator system eliminates entrapped air to improve product quality and measurement accuracy. An inductive magnetic flow meter provides precise flow monitoring, and a heat exchanger efficiently cools the milk to the required storage temperature.

Thermal silo tanks for raw milk storage are constructed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel and feature a vertical cylindrical design with a conical roof and inverted conical bottom. Wall thickness is calculated according to capacity to ensure structural integrity. Each silo is equipped with a marine propeller-type side agitator for uniform temperature distribution, as well as temperature and pressure level sensors with remote digital indicators. A top vent with integrated CIP cleaning device ensures hygienic operation and easy maintenance.

Chemical cleaning-in-place (CIP) plants are designed specifically according to the capacity and characteristics of each installation. These systems include insulated tanks for nitric acid and caustic soda solutions, as well as auxiliary tanks for reusable water and potable rinsing water. CIP systems can be manually operated or fully automatic, featuring PLC-controlled washing programs with full control of flow, temperature, and conductivity to ensure consistent and effective cleaning.
