Cooler milk & unlimited hot water, thanks to DairyChill DairyChill is helping farmers to cool their milk quickly and easily with the added benefit of producing unlimited hot water. DairyChill sales manager James Thomas says that DairyChill systems achieve this as they are all sized to suit the particular farm, in terms of shed size and cow numbers, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. “This ensures that their milk enters the vat at a consistent temperature rather than fluctuating during the milking,” he explains. DairyChill offers a range of systems for farmers to choose from to suit all types of farms and budgets. The OptiChill unit is the most popular product chilling warm fresh milk down to storage temperature using a unique heat exchanger. “The OptiChill can cool milk from 20°C to 8°C in a single pass. Economically produced, cold thermal storage is used to chill the milk ultra fast, resulting in top quality milk. The OptiChill not only chills the milk but it also produces 75-85 degree hot water, making it a very efficient dairy chiller combination all in one unit,” explains James. “It is ideally suited to farms that might have limited power available
as this system will use less power as it doesn't need to run while the farmer is milking.” Another popular option is the Instachill Combo pre-cooling solution, which gets milk into the vat at just 4-5 degrees as it cools the glycol to temperatures between -5 and 5 degrees depending on what it is set to. This unit also heats the hot water for the dairy shed to between 75-85 degrees. It is popular as it is such a small, compact unit (just 1m x 1.8m) and doesn’t need to run between milkings. Other products in the range include Instachill (an instant milk cooling system), Eco Boost hot water heater and the Vatchill water-cooled condenser unit. Of course significant power savings are an additional bonus and James says that DairyChill systems have been typically saving farmers up to 50% on their milk cooling bills and up to 80% on their hot water bills. “DairyChill systems are the most efficient on the market in New Zealand at the moment. Payback on the investment with a DairyChill system can be as quick as three to six years. We are offering 24 months interest free and
different payment terms to help farmers invest in something that will save them a lot of money in the long run. In fact the savings they make could cover their repayments for the system in some cases,” he says. DairyChill, which is owned by ACR Agri Limited, has been developed by refrigeration engineer Terry Carter, ex owner of Enersol, who was looking to develop an efficient and cost effective way to chill milk. Importantly the systems comply with the new pending regulations regarding milk chilling times and keeping the stored milk from the first milking below the regulation temperature, when adding fresh milk to it. By chilling the milk quickly farmers get better milk quality and less run time for their chiller unit, says James. DairyChill products can be fitted to new or existing sheds and farmers are offered a free assessment of their current milk cooling system. All systems offer turnkey pricing meaning no hidden extras. Systems can be supplied New Zealand wide through the DairyChill network of installers, refrigeration technicians and agents and the systems are backed up with a 24-hour call out service.
