PRODUCTION PROCESS:
Collection of Raw Milk:
Raw milk is collected from different co-operatives of Gujarat.About 12,22,000 liters of raw milk is collected per day. Before this milkis sent to the laboratory for testing the FAT & SNF proportion, the milkis separated from the raw milk. The milk is taken from the chillingcenters to Collection of Raw Milk Raw milk is collected from differentco-operatives of Gujarat. About 12,22,000 liters of raw milk iscollected per day. Before this milk is sent to the laboratory for testingthe FAT & SNF proportion.
Testing of raw milk:
After collecting the samples of milk they are taken to thelaboratory where two types of test are conducted:1). ELECTRONIC MILK TEST Before pasteurizing the milk the samplesare taken to the laboratory . In the laboratory with the help of machine called electronic milk tester, the proportion of SNF & FAT ischecked with phosphate solution. When the color of the milk becomeyellow, it is sent for pasteurization.2). METHYLINE BLUE REDUCTION TEST This test is conducted forchecking for how long the milk will remain fresh. To check this, 10 mlof milk is taken and 1 ml of METHYL solution is added to it. It is thenkept under water at 57 degree Celsius. After one hour if the solutionlosses its color then it is called raw milk. If the solution remains thesame even after 5 hours than it is considered fresh milk, whichremains constant for a long period of time.
The dairy fixes the proportion of SNF & FAT. After laboratory givesgreen signal and conforming the raw milk at reception dock is broughtinto the house connected with pump is sent to the milk processingplant. This is then chilled below 4 degree Celsius and then stored inthe milk silos. After that milk is processed which has two steps:Pasteurizing and Standardizing
Pasteurizing and standardizing:
To pasteurize the milk means to kill the germs in the milk by aparticular method which was invented by a scientist called JAMESPASTEUR and so the name pasteurization. In the pasteurizationmethod the milk is first heated at 72 degree c to 76 degree c for 15seconds and then it is immediately cooled below 4 degree c by thismethod they destroy the pathogenic bacteria present in the raw milk.But if the right degree of temperature is not provided there arechances that milk might contain germs. After this process some
milkgoes to separator machine and remaining is proportionately sent forstandardization.Standardization process bifurcates the milk in 3 categories varying according to the SNF & FAT contents. The equipment named OSTA. Auto Standardization Adjusts the FAT directly. The computer is just ordered whether gold or standard milk is to be rationed and thesame will be received with appropriate contents.
SEPARATION PROCESS
Separation Process Separator machine separates two kinds of products, skimmed milk and cream, through channels. There are 100disks fixed in separator machine, which revolve at 5000rpm(revolution per minute). It is taken to the tanks, which has thecapacity of 20000 liters. Whenever the milk is needed from the tank ,it is tested in the laboratory and the deficit proportion FAT is added bymixing cream. This process continues for 24 hours.
QUALITY CHECK: Pasteurized milk is sent to the quality Assurance laboratory of the dairy plant. Within 14 seconds the FAT & SNF proportion isreceived regarding 30 lack liters of milk. The total investment put intothe lab by the dairy plant is Rs. 6 crores. The laboratory only checksand analyses the powder, milk and ghee. There is a separate ice cream analyzing laboratory.5). Packaging Process After the milk is sent for the packaging to the milk packing station in the dairy plant. In themilk packaging stations there are huge pipelines and behind them there is polyfil machine from which the material to pack milk come sout. From each of these 12 machines 100 pouches are packed in one single minute.
STORAGE: Then the milk is sent to the cold storage of the dairy where themilk is stored until it is dispatched. Here the milk is stored istemperature ranging from 5 degree c to 10 degree c, it is maintainedwith the help of exhaust fans having silicon chips. About 40000 litersof milk is dispatched from the cold storage of the dairy plant everyday.The damaged pouches are kept aside and the milk is once again put tothe storage tank
