Bulk Milk Cooler :

It is milk storage vessel, where keep the milk in 4 deg. C.

Farmer give the milk at 38 deg. C in Chilling Center.

ü  Temperature

•           Milk is transported at 38^o C , most optimum for bacterial growth

ü   Time

•           It takes 4 to 6 hrs from milking to milk reception at dairy

ü  Retains the milk quality.

ü  One time collection saves the transportation cost.

ü  Flexibility in milk delivery and pick-up.

ü  No handling of cans, hence, reduces contamination.

Improves hygiene

•          Available  in different size / shape and configuration

•          Capacities ranges from 325 lts to 16,000 lts.

•          Facility of cleaning in place or manual cleaning

Gives flexibility in despatch of milk to dairy even once in two days

(during lean season) .

IBT COOLING TANKS

•          Occupies more space and is bulkier

•          IBT coils below tank not accessible. Cu as a material, water impurities affect spraying.

•          More joints-hence prone to leakage

•          IBT COOLING TANKS

•          Efficiency

•          Refrigerant  to water to milk

•          Reduces with ice building

•          Partially filled tank, more losses

•          Capital cost- 30 to 40 % higher, more components

•          Operating cost- more than double electricity consumption, more labour input-extended shift operation

•          Volume of refrigerant is more than double

•          Faster cooler with plate cooler (2 hrs)

•          Cleanability- cumbersome

DX COOLING TANKS

•          Extremely compact & less bulkier

•          Skid mounted units, user friendly

•          Hardly any joints

•          Most efficient

•          No such phenomena

•          Absent

•          Much lower

•          Much lower

•          Very less relatively

•          Takes around 3 hrs

•          Easy

Automatic Milk Collection Units

•          AMCU  installation at the DCS helps in fast reception of milk

•          AMCU gives correct calculation of % of fat and weighing, reducing chances of manipulation.

•          AMCU  creates faith of producer in the milk collection system.

•          AMCU maintains individual producer record of milk for quality, quantity and payment.

•          Reports help the producer  in monitoring quality and quantity of the milk poured.

•          AMCU is a complete automation package for DCS. It can generate reports of milk collection, payment, local sales, sale of ghee & cattle feed, income-expenditure statements, balance sheet etc..

•          The cost of AMCU would be approximately Rs 1.5 lakhs.
