We offer powerful milk cooling solutions with focus on quality and cost efficiency. Our product range includes two types of horizontal tanks, the DF953/DF95 and DF953L/DF95L. Both have a robust and versatile construction and a hygienic design, made completely out of high-quality stainless steel. They are available in various sizes, designed to fit any type of milking system. The tanks are placed on a sturdy frame with adjustable legs for easy transportation. Both the legs and the agitator motor can be dismantled to facilitate installation. All our tanks are built with laser-welded evaporators and the unique evaporator pattern secures a slow movement of the refrigerant and thus an efficient cooling. The inner tank is lying only on the thick insulation foam, which secures optimum insulation characteristics with minimum temperature fluctuations. This makes our milk cooling tanks energy-efficient and cost-saving.

Advantages with our horizontal milk cooling tanks;
Designed to hold between 1,600 and 12,000 litres of milk, the DF953 and DF95 are both equipped with an Argos control system, a fully automated cleaning system and a 2” DIN outlet as a standard to fit your needs. The DF953 has an integrated cooling unit, whereas for the DF95 the cooling unit is mounted separately at a convenient location. In both cases, the solution is designed to provide the best operational economy possible. The tanks of 2,000 to 8,000 litres are available in two different diameters for each size, thus offering increased flexibility.
Our completely unique tank model DFC953/95 with the patent-protected and award-winning cooling concept CO2 by Wedholms will be launched to robot farms in 2021 in volumes of 5,000 to 12,000 liters. DFC953 has a built-in CO2 cooling unit that is mounted on the tank, while DFC95 has a separate CO2 unit that can be placed in a suitable place in or outside the milk room. DFC953/95 is equipped with an Argos control unit for safe and easy control and with an efficient heat exchanger integrated in the cooling system as standard. The heat recovery uses the heat of the milk to generate large amounts of hot water above 70 degrees Celsius. This, together with CO2’s outstanding properties as refrigerant and the system’s frequency-controlled compressor, causes impressing energy savings. CO2 by Wedholms is a climate-smart and economical solution that saves energy and money.
This product range covers the largest tanks in our scope of horizontal tanks, from 9,000 up to 30,000 litres. In addition to the features of the DF953/DF95, the DF953L/DF95L offers a construction optimized for large-scale milking. It has a straight bottom and a large cooling surface. The DF95L has a separated cooling unit, while the DF953L has an attached cooling unit. Note that the possibility to mount an attached cooling unit depends on the size and capacity of the cooling unit as well as on the type of milking system. In general, it is not possible to get an attached cooling unit on the largest tank sizes.
The programmable control system Argos provides excellent conditions for efficient agitation and temperature control. Functions for agitation, cooling and cleaning are easily overviewed and controlled via the user-friendly display. Argos also includes advanced built-in alarm functions, alerting for any malfunction in the system. As an additional option, Argos can be programmed for communicating with automatic milking systems as well as providing remote access and SMS alerts.

We offer a wide range of cooling units, all tailored to meet the specific needs of each installation. Together with the milk cooling tank and control unit, the cooling unit creates an optimized solution that combines high quality with energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. For horizontal milk cooling tanks, the unit can be mounted directly on the tank or delivered separately, depending on the size, capacity, and type of milking system.
All our cooling units are designed and manufactured in our own factories, ensuring high standards and the possibility for customization. The capacity of the cooling unit can be tailored to suit the unique conditions of the farm, such as milk volume, ambient temperature, cooling time, and collection frequency.

Our efficient cleaning system is one of many advantages with our milk cooling tanks. Water usage, energy efficiency and cleaning time are all important factors when discussing cleaning performance. But of course, most important of all is the actual cleaning result. Our cleaning cycle has up to eight phases, which gives you flexibility and assures efficient cleaning.
The unique, rotating, two-headed spray head guarantees that the entire inside of the tank is thoroughly cleaned. Thanks to the spray head turning with minimum friction, the energy is focused on making a very strong water jet, eliminating calcium deposits and bacterial growth. To further ensure perfect hygiene and milk quality, tanks of 14,000 litres and more are equipped with double spray heads and cleaning pumps as a standard.
To secure your milk quality if the access to hot water is limited, we offer a heater for the cleaning water as an option. The heater warms up the water during cleaning to a programmed temperature.
