Levelling the tank
For your information
In certain cases, you can find reference points, indicated with a sticker to aid the leveling process.
Introduction
The milk cooling tank should slope slightly towards the milk outlet to ensure that all the milk is properly
removed.
Procedure
Take the following steps to put the tank at the right angle:
Step
Action
1
With the aid of a spirit level, check that the milk cooling tank is
properly levelled widthwise. If necessary adjust the 2 front legs (on
the milk outlet side).
For OM tanks: put the spirit level on the
milk outlet side (H2)
For VM tanks: put the spirit level on the
bottom of the tank
For closed tanks: put the spirit level on
the edges of the manhole while the
cover is open and manhole seal
removed.
2
Fill the tank with water to 20% of the nominal volume of the tank.
3
Adjust the 2 back legs (opposite the milk outlet side) so that there is a
difference on the measuring rod between points H2 (milk outlet side)
and H1 (see figure) which corresponds with a value in the
measurement table. If there is a separate individual measurement
table enclosed with this manual, then use the values on that table. If
not, use the table on the page(s) hereafter.
4
Screw ALL the legs to the ground plate.
5
Check the levels again and adjust if necessary.
Make sure the water is standing still when checking the levels.
