Opti-Flo
(Milk transfer System)
This control allows the milk pump to
deliver a steady, gentle flow of milk to
the plate cooler to achieve more effi
cient cooling Since milk goes
through the plate cooler at a slower
pace, the water has a belter chance
to lake the heat out of the milk, and
increase the quality ol the milk.
Dari-Kool milk coolers, larger
than 800 gallons, are con
structed with two or more
independent, full-flow cooling
plates, this fail-safe design
distributes the cooling load
efficiency and equally
between compressors.
Should one compressor fail,
milk will be cooled by the other
independent system, (hereby
avoiding the loss of a tank of
milk.
