Give your cooling system a ReCharge
On dairy farms, most of the energy is used for milking, cooling and cleaning. In existing systems, energy consumption can be significantly reduced by retrofitting energy-saving systems. In most cases, the investment in new technical solutions has paid for itself within a few years through savings in energy costs.
To easily understand what is possible on your farm, DeLaval will give you 3 choices:
- Pre-cooling
- Heat recovery
- Pre-cooling and heat recovery

These calculations provide a good indication, but DeLaval does not claim that such results are typical of all farms and results are not warranted or guaranteed. Actual results and improvement will depend on a number of factors, including prior milking practices, type of cows, farm and herd maintenance practices. Calculation is based on following figures: water: milk flow ratio 1:2, 365 days a year, energy consumption to cool 1000l of milk based on real case/external studies (TNO), warm water temp 55C
Lubbers Family - Netherlands
Farm location
ArnhemHerd size
180Bart and Sabine Lubbers have a progressive and traditional dairy company on the dike, in one of the oldest farms in Arnhem (dating in 1600). Together with Bart's parents, 180 cows are milked using three DeLaval VMSTM V310 milking robots. The milk is kept cool by a complete DeLaval cooling system. This is important, because part of the milk is prepared on the farm into a wide range of dairy products, from (butter) milk to curds, yoghurt and more.
High-volume milking demands high-capacity cooling. DeLaval compact chillers have been designed to meet these demands. They provide powerful cooling and precise temperature control to lock in milk quality before it goes into the storage tank.
- Faster cooling
- Reduced energy consumption
- Robust and reliable operation
