BS EN 13732:2002+A2:2009 Food processing machinery. Bulk milk coolers on farms Requirements for construction, performance, suitability for use, safety and hygiene
BS EN 13732 specifies requirements for design, construction, performance, suitability for use, safety and hygiene of refrigerated bulk bovine milk coolers and the related methods of test. It applies to refrigerated bulk milk tanks with air cooled condensing units and automatic control intended for installation on farms or at milk collecting points. It applies to tanks for two milkings (24 h), four milkings (48 h) and six milkings (72 h), in which the cooling takes place totally or partially within the tank.
Performance requirements do not apply to tanks where cooling does not take place totally within the tank, nor where the tank is associated with a continuous system of milking (e.g. milking with robot).
BS EN 13732 does not cover:
Mobile tanks
Tanks intended to be tilted for drainage
Equipment for delivering the milk to the tank
Equipment for pre-cooling or instant cooling of the milk.
