School Milk Coolers

Keep Dairy Products Safe and Fresh with School Milk Coolers

School milk coolers are specialty refrigeration designed to hold large volumes of milk in school cafeterias, dining halls, or canteens. These dairy coolers keep milk in cartons or crates, also known as milk crate coolers. They maintain the cabinet temperatures at a desirable level using a refrigeration system, sturdy construction, and high-density insulation. Electronic controls allow precise temperature adjustments ranging from 32-40°F degrees. Thus, milk remains safe and fresh over an extended period.

Key Points For Buying School Milk Coolers

School milk coolers are smartly engineered to give students a convenient and hygienic way to access chilled milk throughout the school day. They have some specific features to meet the unique needs of different educational institutions. The following key points help you make a more informed decision.

• Capacity & Size: School milk cooler capacities are usually specified as the number of crates or the internal volume in cubic feet. Roughly, a 20-cubic feet commercial milk cooler accommodates around (12) 13” x 13” x 11” or (8) 19” x 13” x 11” crates.
• Cooling System: Milk crate coolers perform chilling with a cold wall or forced air technology. Cold wall units have fewer parts, offering a larger storage capacity. Forced air systems blow and circulate cold air around the products in the cabinet, ensuring more rapid chilling. These systems can be self-contained or remote-installed. You can customize this feature in Beverage-Air milk coolers.
• Access Type: Some school milk coolers have a self-latching lift-up lid on one side or top of the unit. Dual-access models feature two separate openings. Some dairy coolers also feature drop-down side doors for easier product loading and access.
• Material: The body, doors, and latches of school milk coolers are stainless steel to withstand the rigorous conditions in schools. The most common steel grade is 304, unmatched in corrosion resistance. Some manufacturers use a combination of 304 and 430-grade steel in different parts. An extra coating assures higher durability for the interior construction. For instance, True milk coolers have heavy-duty PVC-coated shelves to prevent chipping and peeling, a widespread issue in standard epoxy-coated shelves.
