Dairy thermal systems — milk cooling and vessel temperature control
Milk Cooling & Process Temperature Control

Dairy

Precision thermal systems for bulk milk cooling, pasteurisation, and curd, ghee, butter, and cheese processing across the full dairy production chain.

Hygienic Design CIP Compatible SS 316L Contact FSSAI Grade
Technical Overview

Dairy processing demands tight temperature control at every stage — from raw milk reception through pasteurisation, storage, and packaging — where even small deviations affect product safety and shelf life.

Calvion designs and fabricates thermal jackets, immersion panels, falling film chillers, ice bank systems, and heat recovery units for the full spectrum of dairy vessel types — built to hygienic standards with smooth, cleanable surfaces and full CIP compatibility.

Each system is sized to the specific vessel geometry, product viscosity, required temperature differential, and available utilities — whether chilled water, glycol, ice water, hot water, or steam.

VesselsBMC tanks, milk storage tanks, yogurt tanks, cheesevat tanks, chocolate tanks, curd vats, ghee kettles, butter milk tanks, syrup tanks

Engineering Advantages

Why Calvion for Dairy Thermal Systems

01

Hygienic Construction

All product-contact surfaces are fabricated in SS 316L with electropolished or 2B finishes, smooth welds, and no crevices — meeting dairy hygiene requirements and supporting routine CIP cleaning cycles.

02

Uniform Temperature Control

Laser-welded pillow plate geometry distributes the heat transfer fluid evenly across the vessel wall, eliminating hot or cold spots that cause localised spoilage or inconsistent fermentation.

03

Full Vessel Coverage

Jacket panels are fabricated to cover cylindrical walls, cone bases, and dish heads — providing complete thermal control across the entire vessel surface for rapid and consistent temperature response.

04

Heat Recovery Integration

Pasteurisation and CIP processes generate recoverable heat. Calvion heat recovery units capture this energy for pre-heating incoming milk or hot water generation, reducing utility costs across the plant.

05

Retrofit and Expansion Ready

Clamp-on panels and immersion heat exchangers can be added to existing tanks without vessel modification, giving dairy plants a low-disruption path to improved temperature control.

06

Built for International Dairy Scale

Systems are engineered for the utility infrastructure, ambient conditions, and production cycles typical of dairy cooperatives and private processors — from small creameries to large-scale plants.
