Being the world’s largest producer and consumer of dairy products, India represents one of most lucrative dairy markets.
The Indian dairy industry is contributing significantly to the country's economy,besides improving the health standard by increasing the nutritional value of the food.

At 100 million tons of milk production, India is the highest milk producing country in the world. Almost half of milk produced in the country is consumed as raw milk and the rest converted into different dairy products.Since the processed dairy products lacks quality standards and hygiene value, country is unable to export dairy products in large measures. Therefore Indian Dairy industry is looking at Bulk Milk Coolers to reduce the temperature of the milk for minimizing growth of bacteria which in turn would improve shelf life of the milk.

When Milk is extracted,it is at around 37 Degrees C.It milk continues to remain at room temperature after extraction, bacterial growth will affect the quality of the milk.Only rapidly cooling milk immediately after extraction to a temperature of around 4 Degrees C and maintaining it ...
... at this temperature minimizes further micro-organism growth.Thereby ensuring that milk remains as fresh as it was when extracted.

Bulk Milk Coolers is used to reduce the temperature of the milk for minimizing growth of bacteria which in turn would improve shelf life of the milk.These coolers rapidly cool milk and also ensure that the quality of milk remains high and keeps milk fresh.

In India,NABARD also offers financial assistance to Indian dairy industry and dairy owners for purchase of bulk milk coolers,which is an added advantage and reason to buy BMCU.

Objectives of having Bulk Milk Cooling Units:

1.To enhance the keeping quality of milk and also to avoid economic losses to farmers due to spillage/sourage of milk.
2.To produce improved quality products for export as well as to meet the domestic requirements.
3.To reduce the transportation cost by regulating transportation of the milk on alternative days and also through reduction in expenditure on purchase and maintenance of cans.

Thus,BMCUs provides a viable option for reducing the transportation cost as also maintaining the milk quality.

Beneficiaries of Bulk Milk Cooling Units (BMCUs) are Milk collection Agents,Village Milk Cooperative Societies of Cooperative Milk Union or Milk Collection Centers of private Dairies.

The operations involve collection and chilling of milk to a temperature of 4 Degrees C.

Advantages of using stainless steel Bulk Milk Cooler or Milk Chillers in modern dairy industry:

1.Elimination of souring/curdling of milk because of cooling at the collection center itself.
2.Adulteration of milk and spillage from cans can be eliminated during transport.
3.Transportation cost of milk can be brought down by regulating transportation to the main dairy either on alternative days or once in a day.
4.Saving of initial investment on purchase of cans and subsequent maintenance cost (Repairs, cleaning etc.) of those cans.
5.Improved quality of milk can be supplied to the main dairy to manufacture quality products for domestic as well as export markets.
6.Flexibility in milk collection time results in increase in volume of milk collected at the centers.
7.Farmers will get better returns for the quality of milk.
8.Chilling at the Main dairy can be avoided.

Economics of buying Bulk Milk Coolers:

Based on the various techno commercial parameters,the economics of the purchase of new Bulk Milk Coolers is very positive. The items of income include reduction in souring/curdling of milk, spillage and pilferage of milk, saving of expenditure on transportation, purchase and maintenance of cans and chilling cost received from the union while the expenditure includes the operational cost of cooler (fuel/power), repairs, maintenance and additional manpower.
