Milk Chiller System

Orion’s state-of-the-art milk chilling technology provides a wealth of benefits like reducing energy costs by approximately 50 percent, taking up a fraction of the space used by traditional chillers and cooling milk more consistently.

The variable-speed drive chiller continuously cools milk at a steady pace, reducing the wear and tear often associated with the forceful stop-and-go process of other technology.

The chiller also comes with a control system that can easily be remotely monitored giving dairy producers the flexibility they need in a farm operation, while having the ability to observe the chiller.

The Plymouth Dairy

Orion Energy Systems installed the proprietary milk chilling system at the Plymouth Dairy in July 2009 after the farm determined it needed a more efficient chiller that could cool more milk to accommodate the farm that had grown from 1,800 cows in 2000 to approximately 2,700.

“It was more cost-effective for us to install this new system than to simply fix and expand our old milk chiller. This chiller offers a variety of benefits, from taking up significantly less space, to producing less heat, to being much more energy efficient, saving the farm money on operating costs.”
