LONGVELD STACK
Longveld Stack. The smart dairy hot water system.
Longveld have launched a new, improved design of their Longveld Stack dairy hot water system. The Longveld Stack has revolutionised how dairy farmers heat water using gas instead of electricity to clean their milking plant and milk vat. This combines your hot water cylinder and dump tank in one relocatable, compact and secure unit, minimising pipework. The patented design retains Bosch’s world-class gas technology. Benefits remain numerous.
Hot water when you need it 24/7
Longveld Stack is available in 3 sizes – 400, 600 and 1,000 litres. You only need one unit for all your daily cleaning operations because the system will heat water quickly, as and when you need it. For instance the 600 model will deliver 600 litres of hot water at 85°C in around an hour. You aren’t restricted by the common electric heating problems of power outages or all-day cylinder heating times. You can say goodbye to the need for multiple hot water cylinders.
Eliminates ineffective cleaning caused by shortage of hot water
Industry guidelines require plant wash cycles to use water of sufficient volume and temperature to allow optimal agitation and detergent action. Temperatures need to be high enough to stop fat and protein redepositing on plant surfaces. If you don’t have time to heat enough water for each wash cycle you risk getting increased bacterial growth. Longveld Stack’s rapid heating eliminates this problem. Longveld Stack delivers all the hot water you need, at the right temperature, when you want it.
Immediate energy savings guaranteed
Dairy farmers are saving up to 45% of their water heating costs with Longveld Stack. Many farmers are using more hot water after installing Longveld Stack, particularly during calving. This is because for the first time they don’t have to restrict their use to ensure they have enough for their plant and vat cleaning, but they are still saving on their water heating costs.
Connects to your heat recovery for further savings
Longveld Stack can be connected to your heat recovery system to further enhance cost savings. The sooner you get it installed the quicker the payback.
Simple programmable settings
You can set multiple start times on the programmable controller to start the heating cycle so the water is automatically up to temperature exactly when you need it. That means less time at the shed, more time for breakfast.
