Cooling Tank Larta VC 300 Compact (230V)

What Is the Larta VC 300 Used For?

The Larta VC 300 is a 300-liter milk cooling tank designed for small and medium-sized dairy farms and small-scale dairy operations that need a reliable solution for cooling and storing fresh milk. Its practical design combines a direct cooling system, electronic temperature control, and a built-in mixer to support everyday milk handling. With stainless steel construction and insulated walls, it provides a convenient way to cool and store freshly collected milk before collection or further processing. 

The Larta VC 300 is particularly suitable for: 

• Small and medium-sized dairy farms that need to cool and store fresh milk after milking. 
• Milk producers supplying dairies or collection services who need to store milk until pickup. 
• Small-scale cheese and yogurt producers who require chilled milk storage before processing. 
• Dairy operations looking for a 100-liter cooling solution with integrated cooling and mixing functions.

Product Overview

Efficient Milk Cooling and Storage

Fresh milk should be cooled promptly after milking and kept at a controlled temperature to help preserve its quality until collection or further processing. The Larta VC 300 combines cooling and storage in one unit, helping dairy farms manage their daily milk handling efficiently.

With a 300-liter capacity, this model provides practical storage space for farms handling moderate quantities of milk.

Hygienic Stainless Steel Construction

The Larta VC 300 is made from AISI 304 stainless steel on both the inside and outside. This food-grade material is suitable for contact with milk and is widely used in dairy equipment for its corrosion resistance and durability. 

The tank features smooth internal surfaces, rounded corners, and polished welds to facilitate routine cleaning and support good hygiene. The sloped bottom helps milk drain efficiently, while the stainless steel outlet valve allows convenient transfer of cooled milk for collection or further processing. 

The tank also features a sloped evaporator plate designed to support milk drainage and help reduce the risk of freezing when the tank contains smaller quantities of milk.

Direct Cooling System and Insulated Construction

The Larta VC 300 features a direct cooling system using R449A refrigerant. An electronic temperature controller and NTC temperature sensor monitor the milk temperature and regulate the cooling cycle to help maintain the desired temperature.

The evaporator design helps reduce the risk of milk freezing when the tank contains smaller quantities. Actual cooling performance depends on factors such as the initial milk temperature, the volume of milk, and the surrounding conditions.

The tank features double-wall construction with polyurethane foam insulation between the walls. This insulation helps reduce heat transfer from the surrounding environment and supports a more stable milk temperature during storage.

Gentle Mixing for More Uniform Cooling

The built-in mixer operates at 30 rpm, helping distribute the milk throughout the tank and promote a more uniform temperature. Gentle mixing also helps limit unnecessary foaming during operation. 

The standard mixing cycle consists of 15 minutes without agitation, followed by 3 minutes of agitation. The controller parameters can be adjusted to suit specific operating requirements. 

For added safety, the mixer motor automatically stops when the lid is lifted.

Convenient Monitoring and Daily Operation

The electronic control panel displays the milk temperature and allows the operator to manage the cooling and mixing cycles. A stainless steel AISI 304 dipstick, together with its calibration chart, allows the operator to measure the volume of milk in the tank.

The tank features a stainless steel lid and a 200 mm milk inlet opening for convenient filling and access. Its elevated components are designed to make cleaning around the inlet opening and control panel easier.

Warranty & Technical Support

The Larta VC 300 milk cooling tank comes with a 1-year warranty on all electromechanical components and a 5-year warranty on stainless steel components against corrosion and evaporator leaks.
