Eliminate cleaning hassle with the all-stainless Heat Exchanger from Shoof. Fill with up to 15 L water and milk warmer then place in full milk container for indirect heating.
Warming milk or colostrum for calves is a necessary and well accepted practice. But a problem with most conventional milk warmers is the build up of milk solids on the heating element. This acts as an insulation barrier, causing great inefficiency in heat transfer. The Shoof Development Team has come up with a practical solution. Our all-stainless Heat Exchanger is filled with warm or cold water. It is then placed into the full milk container. The Heat Exchanger takes up to 15 litres of water. Short legs keep the exchanger off the bottom, and handles can also serve as suspension 'hooks'. Dimensions are diameter and height overall. NB: Milk still must be stirred from time to time to heat efficiently. Water temperatures over 55°C can create fat build up on the exchanger. The Heat Exchanger heats more slowly than direct immersion of milk warmer, but eliminates most tedious cleaning and risk of element failure. Milk Warmer Heat Exchange Thermal Cap available and sold separately.
