After reception the milk is stored in?

After reception at a dairy plant, milk is stored in large vertical tanks called Silos.

Milk Storage Process

• Silos (The Correct Answer): These are insulated, stainless steel vertical tanks designed specifically to store thousands of liters of raw or processed milk at a constant, controlled temperature.
• Chillers: These are the cooling units (heat exchangers) that rapidly drop the milk's temperature to below 4°C *before* it enters the storage silo, but they do not act as the holding storage themselves.
• Coolers: This term generally refers to refrigeration units or cold rooms used for storing packaged, finished dairy products (like butter, cheese, or cartons) rather than bulk liquid milk.
• Warehouse: This is dry storage space reserved for non-perishable goods, packaging materials, or milk powder, not raw liquid milk.
