Milk Processing

Milk collection centre fill their bulk tanks rather quickly which causes the compressors to run for a long period of time.
At the dairy in the second picture they are using a plate cooler similar to the one on our former farm except here they are using chilled glycol as the heat transfer medium and thus cooling the milk very fast. This dairy only processes pasteurized milk in gable top cartons. Plastic bags or jugs are not allowed in Rwanda although water is distributed in plastic bottles...a question I'll be asking the minister since cartons cost about 4-5 times the price of plastic bags.
