    The document discusses a milk chiller for small dairy farmers in India. It notes that milk spoils quickly without chilling, but small farmers have difficulty transporting milk long distances to chilling facilities. The described milk chiller installs at the village level to quickly chill milk directly after milking, keeping it chilled for over 10 hours to allow flexible pickup. This helps maintain milk quality for small farmers with limited resources.

    Instant Milk Chiller

    Milk chiller for small milk producers.

    Chilling Milk Directly from the Cow for India’s Dairy Farmers

    Now, milk could be chilled where it was produced and kept on-site until a distributor was able to
    pick it up or delivered to the consumer.

    Milk is a highly perishable commodity. Further, the fact that cattle and buffalo rearing in India is
    a small holder activity with most farmers and dairy units being very small, sometimes limited to
    one animal, makes the matter worse.

    Milk Chiller
    The temperature of milk at the time of milking is about 37°C. It is to be quickly chilled to 4°C to
    check the growth of micro-organisms and to maintain its quality as per international standards.
    With most farmers owning less than 2/3 animals, it is wellnigh impossible for these small dairy
    owners to have the resources to invest in storing the milk at required 4°C before supplying to
    consumers or milk collection centers.

    In rural India, farmers rush milk to faraway collection stations on motorbikes to get it chilled. The
    trip takes about six hours on average, which is two hours too long. In the summer heat, milk can
    easily spoil en route. “The cows get milked twice a day and they race this milk twice a day, and
    if they don’t get it to the chilling center in four hours the bacteria kills that milk.” When farmers
    arrive at collection centers, they do “a smell test” – they sniff the milk to determine if it’s still
    good. And even at collection centers, electricity can be intermittent. When there’s no power, the
    centers use diesel generators, but it’s not economically viable to equip every village with one.
    India has over 300,000 milk producing villages. That’s a lot of spoiled milk.

    In this situation, the most sensible investment was to install Milk Coolers (MCs) at village level
    DCSs, which is the first stage of milk collection. A MC is a two shelled container consisting of an
    inner and outer stainless steel shells with injected Poly Urethane Foam (PUF) insulation in
    between the two shells. Each MC is equipped with an in-built light weight refrigeration system
    and an additional milk reception unit. The refrigeration system consists of a hermetically sealed
    compressor, controls and safety features that make the MC extremely reliable and energy
    efficient.

    The milk from suppliers is poured into the reception unit and runs through the unit and not
    stored in a MC where it is cooled to 4°C. The milk runs directly in the insulated milk can, where
    it retains the temperature at 4°C for at least 10 hours.
