Sometimes I wander, though, when the third motor in a week has gone up in smoke, breaker switches are doing just that (breaking), and we begin buying fuses by the dozen, whether the mechanical marvels we maintain as slaves haven’t instead turned the tables, enslaving us gullible gadget collectors. See your dealer about the Sentinel—or drop us a tine PO. Box 433 Elizabethtown, PA 17022 Kings of the dairy farm electrical apparatus are probably the milking machines and that marvelous, gaping-mouthed refrigeration unit biown as a milk tank. The depths of a milk tank are fascinating, with that beautiful white liquid •slowly stirring and cooling down there. Our entire lives, and pocketbooks, center around that big stainless steel hulk performing its job of cooling the milk production to perfection on its way to the bottling plant. But, like humans, milk Round-the-clock guardian of stored milk temperature If you depend upon your milk check for a living, protect that income by insuring milk quality. The least expensive, single-payment insurance obtainable is the Sentinel the heavy-duty, 10-inch recorder which charts round-the-clock temperature of your milk-cooling or holding tank. Assure yourself and your processor that proper milk temperature is always maintained. Keep a permanent log of compressor operation and tank coding or pre-cooling efficiency, from first filling to pickup. Cleaning temperatures increasingly ques tioned by sanitarians—are recorded on the same chart At little added cost, the Sentinel is available with provision for actuating an alarm or warning light if milk hddlng temperature rises above pre-set level Remember—if it prevents the loss of only one tank of milk, die Sentinel has paid its own way. Q PARTLOW r-ro- j .Xr.'3 —4;;--;- i or* r Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 4.1977—129 tanks sometimes wake up on the wrong side of the bed. For no reason at all, the compressor motor goes on strike or the agitator stubbornly refuses to perform its ring-around-the rosey dance. During our first years of milking here at Bupplynn Farms, I recall one night when for some reason the cooler didn’t cool. However, the stirrer continued to stir. Guess what we had the next morning? Beautiful little islands of golden butter, floating in a sea of skim milk. It was great for toast, but hard on the butterfat test for the day. Other times it takes an opposite turn. For instance, the cooler has occasionally worked overtime, refrigerating in a frenzy. That generally gives the milk truck driver a surprise when he opens the lid to take a sample. “Popsicles!” he pronounces, confronted with a two-inch coating of ice lurking inside the tank. Milk is best served ice cold, anyway. But, however the tank decides to put injts bid for attention, it will undoubtedly happen just after the evening milking, when neighborhood refrigeration repair men are charging overtime for after hours calls. Holiday weekends are always favorite breakdown targets, too. So no matter when the tank catches chills or fever, we can count on dropping everything else and sitting with the sick patient until it’s been doctored back to health again. at Buck (Continued from Page 126] 8; 3.
