Once again about Germ Count.

Following a previous Tip of the Month about the Germ count / Plate count (June 2025), I received another tip from a technician:

Never replace the milk filter after the tank has recently been emptied and cleaned!
There will still be very little milk in the milk cooling tank, and that milk will blow around and can dry against the inner wall.
This can also cause an increased germ count!

This obviously does not apply if you have a buffer tank.
Nor does it apply if you have a duo filter.
