Milk Chilling basically stunts the growth of bacteria converting the lactose or sugar in the milk into lactic acid, which curdles the proteins and causes souring. It should be done within one/one-and-half hour of milking, after which the naturally occurring preservatives in the milk (including carbon dioxide) stop working. Dairies now use bulk cooling tanks to chill their milk to about 4 degrees Celsius at their procurement centres. These tanks, of 3,000-5,000 litres capacity, keep the milk chilled till the tanker from the dairy arrives.Irregular power supply in rural areas, the bulk coolers require the back-up of a diesel generator set.That again raises costs – a 5,000-litre cooler with generator set and other installations comes at Rs. 9 lakh or so – besides causing noise and air pollution. Third, the bulk coolers take 3-3.5 hours to chill the milk to 4 degrees. There is no instant chilling here, more so with many farmers pouring one after the other milk at ambient temperatures. Real chilling happens only when the pouring stops.
Solar Hybrid powered milk chillers for rural India::
Krishna Allied Industries has developed a Solar Hybrid Milk Chiller , solar-powered milk refrigerator that can be used in small rural households with only unreliable access to electricity.
This will help smartly to close the milk cold-chain from the smallest farms to the milk processors.
Lack of refrigeration in rural India is leading to millions of tonnes of fresh produce going to waste every year. India is the largest producer and consumer of milk in the world; 130 million tons of milk is produced annually by rural farmers in India, yet a significant proportion of this is lost due to non-existent cooling systems in small villages and farms. Lack of a reliable electricity supply is one of the biggest challenges in India. Around 400 million people are without access to a reliable power supply currently.
Using Solar energy for cooling and refrigeration of Milk - Solar Powered Milk Cooling tank :Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy. It does not belong to anybody and is, therefore, free. It is also the most important of the non-conventional sources of energy because it is non-polluting and, therefore, helps in lessening the greenhouse effect.
