The first plant for sterilising milk churns before their re-use. These 10 gallon churns were emptied and upended on the receiving tank, they were then placed inside the steam steriliser where they revolved in a clockwise direction. The man on the right is removing the clean churn ready for re-use. The churn lids went through the same process.
