The quicker the milk cools, the better quality it will be.

A dairy farm in the Valley is now enjoying the good things efficiency brings, with a tall glass of cold milk. They installed a heat recovery unit in their processing area and received a rebate of $1,950. They now save $2,500 annually on bills, and the milk is cooled faster resulting in a better quality product.

“The new lighting makes the workspace a lot more inviting, allows you to stay alert longer, and is much lower in cost.”
