Your bulk tank is the heart of your dairy operation. Alpine’s certified technicians specialize in all major bulk tank brands, including DeLaval, Mueller, Boumatic, and Paul Mueller.
We understand that milk quality depends on rapid cooling from 37°C to 3°C within strict time limits, and any failure threatens your entire production.
Pre-cooling milk through plate coolers can reduce your bulk tank’s workload by up to 50%, saving thousands in energy costs annually.
Alpine Refrigeration designs, installs, and maintains plate cooling systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing operation, using well water to remove heat before milk enters the bulk tank.
Plate Cooler Solutions:
Every BTU of heat removed from your milk can be captured to heat water for cleaning and sanitizing.
Alpine’s RHR systems typically provide 50-80% of a dairy’s hot water needs, dramatically reducing propane or electrical heating costs while improving overall system efficiency.
RHR System Benefits:
Alpine specializes in both scroll and reciprocating compressors used in dairy refrigeration.
Our technicians understand that compressor failure during milking can result in thousands of dollars in lost production, which is why we maintain an extensive inventory and offer rapid replacement services.
