Experimental Dairy Plant

Experimental dairy plant is another excellent feature of the infrastructure created in the college. The main objectives of the experimental dairy plant is to provide best infrastructure for the practical training and hands-on training of B. Tech (Dairy Technology) students and to undertake R&D work by the scientists for scaling up of the laboratory concepts of newly developed technologies to the pilot/ semi-commercial scale. Experimental Dairy Plant is having the milk handling capacity of 5000 LPD into a diverse range of dairy products. Currently, the plant is having following sections and facilities.

• Bulk milk cooler and milk storage tank
• Liquid milk processing and packaging section
• Cream separation and standardization of milk unit
• Butter manufacturing unit
• Ghee manufacturing and packaging unit
• Paneer and cheese manufacturing and packaging unit
• Ice cream manufacturing packaging and storage unit
• Can washing and sterilization unit
• Product storage (walk in type cold room) unit
• Steam generation (Boiler) unit
• Refrigeration (Glycol based packed type) unit
• Solar water heating system 3000 LPD
