GEA to build Asia’s largest milk production facility in India

Düsseldorf (Germany), July 13, 2017 – During the first quarter of 2017, GEA in India received an order from the Amul Fed Dairy (formerly Mother Dairy) in Gandhinagar, a unit of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). The order, said to be for a ‘lower double-digit, million-euro amount’, is for a new turnkey dairy plant for the production of 150 tonnes per day of skim milk powder and 120 tonnes per day of dairy whitener/baby food. The milk powder plant is scheduled to begin production in 2018.

 

When completed, the plant will be the largest skim milk powder and dairy whitener plant in Asia. The company markets its milk and milk products under the Amul brand and its baby milk powder under the name of Amul Spray.

 

The plant, to be installed on a turnkey basis by GEA, will process around 90,000 liters per hour of milk to produce multiple value-added products. AmulFed already has two milk powder plants in same location supplied by GEA. Together they make AmulFed the largest plant in Asia at a single location. The new plant features GEA’s most advance safety system and uses hygienic architectural design principles to make it one of the most advanced GEA has built to date.

Some other interesting features to be included in the Amul Fed plant are:

  • The use of a Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) system from GEA within the evaporation plant. MVR continuously recycles energy by re compressing the vapor within the evaporator. This reduces energy costs and the CO2 footprint to minimize the environmental load.
  • The use of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) polisher to treat the milk condensate from the evaporation plant and recycle the water for reuse within the plant. This significantly reduces water usage and approaches zero liquid discharge concept.
  • The application of a GEA clarifying separator to remove the entire life cycle of bacteria from the milk, thereby ensuring a supply of bacteria-free healthy milk throughout the process cycle.
    The inclusion of GEA SANICIPTM bag filters in series with cyclones to collect powder fines, save product and reduce emissions to the atmosphere.
  • The inclusion of a GEA shifter to provide a uniform distribution of the powder particles and, therefore, a more homogenous final product.
  • It will also be equipped with powder packing and a conveying system from GEA.
  • The plant will be designed to operate in fully automated mode. This includes the powder production, conveying, storage, packing, final packed product conveying and a complete management information system.

 

“We will provide AmulFed with a hygienically-superior plant that will deliver peak performance,” said Abhay Chaudhari, GEA Country Managing Director, India Cluster. “The AmulFed milk powder plant at Gandhinagar will not be just the largest in Asia but it will also be the most environment friendly,” he said.

Here, in India, cow is among the most holiest of things, both culturally and religiously, as holier as wine of Jesus or the month of Ramzan itself. Unfortunately, the people who believe this, who are majority I must mention, have to go out of their way to prove it, sometimes even shout it out, because some people here think that disrespecting our own culture and belief is the only way to move forward. The colonial British did this too. The whole Indian rebellion against the British had cow as one of the main reason behind it, but people keep forgetting our history and culture here. I might go into details but this is already becoming too political.

 

Having said. Some idiots murdering others in the name of cow deserve no care or praise from us, as cow is a symbol of humanity, peace, care, not what the media or some murderers are trying to portray here.

A lot of it happening recently. Perfect fodder for the Indian culture hating media of our country.

 

Having said, in India, cow is synonym with Allah or god to say the least here.

The fact is that common people do not hate each other nor do they kill each other, its just the leaders who try to poison the common people's mind. Divide and Rule, its best for the politicians.
