THE REALITY

When Your Chiller Dies, Every Hour Counts

A chiller failure doesn't wait for business hours. It happens at 4AM, mid-milking, in the middle of winter. And if you can't cool milk fast enough, you risk an MPI non-compliance — or worse, a dumped pickup.

4AM When most chiller failures happen
2hr MPI window before milk is at risk
$5k+ Average cost of a failed pickup

That's why we stock GH168KIT, GH209KIT & GH271KIT locally — so the most common replacements are already here. Other sizes follow within 24–48 hours.

COMPLIANCE

MPI Cooling Standards — What You Need to Know

Raw milk must be cooled to specific temperatures within strict timeframes. Every Ryker unit we install is commissioned and tested to meet these standards.

a

Milk must be cooled to 10°C or below within 4 hours of the start of milking.

b

Milk must reach 6°C or below within 6 hours of starting and within 2 hours of finishing.

c

It must be held at or below 6°C until pickup or the next milking.

d

It must not exceed 10°C during subsequent milkings.

e

Continuous milking? Milk must enter the vat at 6°C or below if milking occurs for 6+ hours straight.

Every Ryker unit we install is tested against these benchmarks. You get compliance — confirmed and documented.

FAQ

Common Questions About Ryker Milk Cooling

What is a Ryker GH condensing unit?

A Ryker GH is a commercial-grade condensing unit designed for milk vat cooling. It features robust construction, efficient compressors, and is rated for high-ambient operation up to 43°C — making it ideal for New Zealand dairy conditions.

Do you have units in stock right now?

We keep Ryker GH168KIT, GH209KIT & GH271KIT in stock in Taranaki. When one of these suits your vat, we can often install the same day. All other Ryker sizes are ordered in — allow 24–48 hours.

Can you install on the same day?

Yes, when we have the right stocked kit (GH168KIT, GH209KIT or GH271KIT) for your setup. If you need a different Ryker size, we’ll get it in — typically 24–48 hours — and prioritise urgent jobs.

Are Ryker units MPI compliant?

Ryker units are designed to meet the cooling performance required by MPI regulations. We commission and test every install to confirm compliance with milk temperature standards.

What size unit does my farm need?

It depends on your vat size, herd count, and milking schedule. We stock GH168KIT, GH209KIT & GH271KIT locally and can match the right kit to your operation. Any other Ryker size is available to order (24–48 hour lead time).

How much does a Ryker unit cost?

Pricing varies by model and installation requirements. Contact us for a tailored quote — we'll assess your setup and provide a fixed price including supply, install, and commissioning.

Can you replace a different brand with Ryker?

Absolutely. Ryker condensing units are compatible with standard milk vat refrigeration pipework. We handle the full swap — decommission the old unit, install and commission the new Ryker, and test to confirm MPI compliance.

Do you service and maintain these units?

Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance, gas checks, and emergency call-outs for all Ryker units we install. Preventive servicing helps avoid breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Taranaki and service farms across the region — Ōpunake, Eltham, Hāwera, Inglewood, New Plymouth, and surrounding areas. For emergency replacements, we prioritise response times.
