Milk value addition business machines needed

Due to the diversity of milk value addition business, there are a number of equipment that are necessary but what you buy depends with the types of products you will be making. Below are some of the most common.

Milk pasteurizer

Whatever way you opt to go either selling milk in its raw form or a by-product a pasteurizer is one of equipment that are key to all these processes.

A milk pasteurizer is used to pasteurize the milk to kill harmful bacteria that can cause illnesses like brucellosis or make milk to spoil faster. It also ensures that the milk is heated at the recommended temperature of about 60 degrees Celsius. It also makes the milk retain its original taste because the milk is not directly heated therefore it can’t burn.

Milk chillers/coolers

Other equipment that you need are milk cooling tanks/chillers which can act as storage tank as well. The chiller keeps the milk at very low temperatures that prevents growth of bacteria that makes milk to get spoilt. The milk can stay for a long time until it’s needed for the market.

Milk holding tanks

Milk holding tanks are useful when collecting milk from different suppliers. When they deliver the milk to your business premises you need a central collection point before you start pasteurizing it. That is where a milk holding tank comes in handy. After you have tested the milk that has been delivered by each farmer/supplier and determined it meets the safety and quality standards, you can then pour it in the holding tank where it can be kept temporarily before you pasteurize it.

Milk ATM

A milk dispensing ATM is used at the final consumer point of sale. It helps the vendor to sell milk in small quantities depending with the amount the client has without doing guess work. It is calibrated to ensure the milk dispensed is equivalent to the money keyed in regardless of the amount.
