Dairy Farms

Dairy farming demands one of the most time-sensitive refrigeration processes in any industry. Raw milk must be cooled from approximately 101°F at the point of collection to below 40°F within two hours of milking, a strict requirement enforced by the FDA and state agricultural agencies to prevent bacterial growth and ensure product safety.

The compressors powering milk cooling systems run continuously through multiple milking cycles every single day. These units must operate reliably in harsh barn environments, handling wide temperature swings, dust, and moisture while delivering consistent, precise cooling performance. A compressor failure during or after milking can mean an entire batch (worth thousands of dollars) must be discarded.

Compressors Unlimited has supplied dairy operations across the country with robust, dependable remanufactured compressors. We understand the unique demands of agricultural refrigeration and stock units from proven manufacturers like Copeland and Bitzer that are engineered to handle the continuous duty cycles and challenging environments found on modern dairy farms.
