Dump Tank

A dump tank is a vessel with a rectangular cross-section and an open top surface. It is work as a balance tank for milk in between the weigh bowl and milk chiller. Mostly it is used in dairy industries doing continuous milk processing.

After weighing and recording, the milk can be discharged into the dump tank situated below through stainless steel chute between the weigh bowl and dump tank. Dump tank should be of sufficient capacity to avoid delay or overflow of milk, at least one and half times but not more than 3 times the capacity of the weigh bowl. An electronic milk level control may be installed in the dump tank to eliminate the possibility of loss of milk from overflow.
