Our Burgeoning Dairy Endeavor
A few years ago my wife and I sold our home in the Hamptons and decided to purchase a small farm in our home state of Nebraska. After living in suburban areas for most of our lives, we were ready to reconnect with the pastoral pleasures of the Midwest. Since we’re getting older now, we didn’t want the full rigors of farm life, but we didn’t want to be sedentary all day either.
The homestead came with a small barn, so we decided to focus on raising cows and creating our own dairy products. As I said, we didn’t want much work, so we only bought enough cows to supply ourselves and some of the locals with milk and other dairy products. We started out with the basics, but our small enterprise has blossomed and we recently invested in some new cheese processing equipment.
Making Goods the Modern Way
When I was in elementary school we used to always have a day where we would use old-country methods to create essential goods. There was typically a station for making candles and other practical crafts, such as whittling. One of my favorite activities was churning ice cream or using rudimentary methods for creating other tasty treats.
Thankfully, today we have advanced equipment to make these tasks easier for professionals and homemakers alike. For example, making cheese used to a time-consuming and painstaking task, but now we have industrial cheese making equipment that has streamlined the process.
Stainless Steel Vat
Koss Industrial, Inc. also offers a wide variety of stainless steel vats, both new and reconditioned.
Currently, Koss has three stainless steel Stoelting vats on their lot – two with controls and one with out, all in great condition.
Cheese Processing Equipment
Koss Industrial, Inc. offers a wide variety of cheese processing equipment, both new and reconditioned. Some examples of Koss’ cheese processing equipment are the lab cookers, hot water sets, ClearBrine® Ultra Filtration units, and CIP Systems are only the beginning of what Koss’ has to offer.
Connex Motor
Koss Industrial, Inc. offers a wide variety of stainless steel motors–including the connex motor, which is also referred to as a gator motor. This motor is three phase with a c-face. If your looking for the lowest price on a motors, this is the motor for you.
Steam Ball Valves
Schubert & Salzer has the 7010 shut off valve that is also in the steam capable. These steam ball valves are not only ideal for steam, but they are ideal for water, gases, and other aggressive media. Pressures to 580 psi and temperatures to 430° F. Highest Temperatures and Pressures from any angle valve manufacturer. Materials include 316L stainless steel, bronze and brass. Actuators are available in a hardened chrome plated alloy, stainless steel and polymer. End connections include NPT, ANSI flanges, socket weld, butt weld, tri-clamp, tube ends, etc. Sizes ¼” through 3”.
Spence Valves
Koss Industrial, Inc. offers a wide selection of pressure reducing valves. One line of reducing valves that can be found through Koss Industrial, Inc. at StainlessSteelThings.com are the spence valves. The spence reducing valves, the Type E Main Valves, are generally used in fluid, gas, and vapor applications. This valve is normally closed with a single seat, and has balanced metal diaphragms with a protected spring. The Type E Main valve is virtually frictionless and has a easy in-line maintenance to help maintain a long service life.

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
A brazed plate heat exchanger is basically your “smaller” versions of the plate heat exchanger. One of the main separating factors of plate heat exchangers is that the “larger” ones are separate by gaskets, whereas the “smaller” ones consist of brazed seals at the edges of the plates and the contact points of the plate are also brazed.
There are many advantages to the brazed plate heat exchangers, for example, the heat transfer efficiency makes the unit compact which is easily installed in locations where space is limited. Also, seeing as the design of the this type of plate heat exchangers does not consist of gaskets, it is suitable for applications where the temperature and/or pressure rating is high.
Plate Heat Exchanger
A plate heat exchanger is a specific type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates in order to transfer heat between two fluids. Plate heat exchangers are more beneficial than the regular U-tube or straight tube heat exchangers because the fluids are exposed to a larger surface area due to the fluids capability to spread out over the plates. Now, the transfer of heat can take place while simultaneously increasing the speed of the temperature change.
