With milk cooling accounting for the most significant energy expenditure on a dairy farm, not only do tune-ups improve function and extend equipment life – but they can also uncover potential issues before they arise.

Investing in a plate cooler is a great option for most dairy farms. Plate coolers help cool milk to prevent bacteria growth during storage and transportation and warm water for animal watering and equipment cleaning. There is no one-size-fits-all option for plate cooler technology, so it is important to work with a reputable equipment dealer when purchasing this technology. A properly sized plate cooler can achieve a simple payback in as little as two to three years.
