(26) in a first end wall (6) of the tank is provided, having a nozzle end
(32) for introducing incoming/re-circulated milk onto a milk cooling
surface (14) at a predetermined position (dp). The position (dp) being
situated (1) between a first end wall (6) and a central part of the tank
(4) and laterally displaced (b) relative to the perpendicular central
axis of the tank. The nozzle end (32) is directed towards a second end
wall (8) of the tank (4). Agitation is performed by the agitation pipe
(2) upon demand or when the milk quantity is insufficient for a regular
agitator element (27) to work properly.
