MilkPlan MP30 30-Gallon Milk Cooling Tank
The MilkPlan MP30 is a compact, self-contained milk cooling tank designed for small dairies, homesteads, goat dairies, farmstead cheesemakers, and other lower-volume milk-handling operations. Its refrigeration and agitation systems work together to rapidly cool fresh milk and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the tank.
The MP30 provides professional milk cooling without the space and electrical requirements of a full-size bulk tank. It operates from a dedicated 110V, 20-amp circuit, so no 240V electrical service is required.
