The robust silo tanks in stainless steel can hold 5,000 to 50,000 litres of milk and are offered in two diameters for increased flexibility. The vertical design allows flexible placement, ensuring easy access for milk collection as well as service and maintenance. The silo tank is delivered in a complete package, with a separated cooling unit adapted for either conventional or robotic milking systems, as well as an Argos control unit pre-mounted to the silo.

Our silo tanks take care of your milk from the very first liter entering the tank, and together with a range of other features, this makes the Wedholms silo tank an ideal choice in combination with your automatic milking system. However, if pre-cooling is used, a silo tank can also be a very good alternative on conventional dairy farms. The silo tanks are designed to save both energy and the environment. Lower energy costs of course also mean a greater profitability for you as a dairy farmer. Thick, high-quality insulation in the bottom, top and side walls of the silo secures optimum thermal protection and improved compressor lifetime. The refrigerant, R134a, is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerants available on the market today.
Did you know that you can use the heat from the milk to warm up the drinking water for the cows or water for cleaning and heating purposes on the farm?

Advantages with the Wedholms Silo tank:
All cooling units are developed and produced by Wedholms in our own facilities. This ensures great opportunities for customization concerning capacity, surrounding temperature, cooling time, milk collection frequency, etc.

To further optimize the milk cooling process, the Argos control system offers an excellent overview and easy access to several critical data, such as milk temperature. Advanced technology allows customized adjustments of functionality, cleaning process, agitation etc., according to local conditions.
There are several features for quick and efficient cooling. For example, each condensing unit is tailor-made for a specific tank size and the silo tanks are equipped with three evaporators, two in the bottom and one on the side wall, with the option to add more evaporator space to the wall. Efficient cooling goes hand in hand with hygiene and quality. This is why the temperature sensor in the bottom of the tank never comes in contact with the milk. Together with our milk outlet with separate cooling, this secures excellent hygiene and optimum milk quality.
The Wedholms silo tanks are of a high standard also in the basic version, but there are a number of options and accessories that add to a fully customized solution: ladder with safety cage, self-cleaning outlet for milk sample collection at the manhole, milk level sensor, and energy-saving pre-cooling units, to name a few. The manhole can be placed in various positions around the silo tank.
