Bulk Milk Tank Servicing – How often is best?

by T H WHITE on March 26, 2025

If annual servicing is enough why do we suggest more?

Although an annual bulk milk tank service will be enough to comply with the Red Tractor regulations, we recommend having your bulk milk tank serviced twice yearly. A twice yearly service – every six months – will help extend the life of your bulk tank and equipment.

We can’t predict milk prices, but we can cut breakdowns by servicing your equipment regularly.

A service in spring and autumn will prepare condensing units for warmer weather and the service cleaning of the condenser grills will also improve energy efficiency and the overall cooling performance. A twice yearly service can also help reduce the amount of breakdowns and equipment failures in the most challenging time of the year. As part of F-gas compliancy, systems must be serviced, maintained and leak tested and a record of maintenance and servicing kept of the equipment you operate. T H WHITE will keep all the necessary records to ensure your compliance.

As we know, ambient air temperature is getting warmer so condensing units are working harder every summer that passes. We can help you to fight back against these increased temperatures with machinery that is operating at peak efficiency.

When we service your tank, we will always perform the following:

  • Clean the condensing unit
  • Refrigerant leak detection
  • Inspection of relays/ capacitors/ contactors
  • Inspection of rubber parts including manhole gaskets, agitator wash seals
  • Inspection of tank wash units
  • Inspection of ice bank tank
  • Overall check of refrigerant
