Scheme of milk procurement :

Milk received at Dynamix can hence be broadly classified into two groups: milk from bulk
cooling stations and milk from other sources.

1. Milk from bulk cooling stations:

There are specific tankers fixed on specific routes, which collects milk from those bulk coolers
where it’s duty is being assigned.

2. Milk from other sources:

Milk from other sources is also received in milk tankers from other co-operatives and Govt.
sources.

Payment Pattern:

The pricing policy is decided as per regulations of Maharashtra Government. Milk is paid on the
basis of its fat and SNF percentage. For this, milk should contain 3.5% fat and 8.5% SNF and
must have acidity less than 0.135% failing which milk is rejected. Payment is made to the
individual co-operatives after 10 days.

Above mode is non-aseptic i.e. homogenization is done before sterilization. This is called
upstream flow. In aseptic mode, homogenization of product is done after sterilization by
maintaining strict aseptic condition at temperature of about 1100C. This is called downstream
flow. Non aseptic-juices & ice tea.

The aseptic storage tank is called ‘Tetra ALSAFE,’ its capacity is 20000L. The sterilized
product is stored here aseptically before going to filling machine. The interesting thing is that
there is no unloading pump here. The tank is pressurized to 100Kpa and product is transferred by
air pressure(1.3bar). Before product filling in the tank is sterilized at 1250C/30 min. by live
steam.

 UHT Laboratory
In UHT there is a lab where online as well as finished products testing are being performed.
Sediment testing for sugar solution used in the process is also being done. Other essential tests
performed are:-fat, SNF, acidity, pH, brix (determining the total conc. of soluble solid matters
contained in solution)
1) Sediment test: The sugar solution obtained from filter press is checked for its clarity.25 ml of
sugar solution is passed through 0.45 micron filter paper if sediments are observed then syrup is
refiltered.
2) Standardization of brix: (table refractometer)
After blending sample is checked for desired brix using table refractometer, if brix is too
high or too low then it is standardizaed by formula

Volume of Tank * brix actual = volume of tank on final blend * final brix

Required water for standardization= volume of tank on final blend - Volume of Tank

3) Acidity of the pulp & juices:

Sample: for pulp 5 ml pulp & 5 ml dm water
For juice 10 ml juice sample.
Samples are taken in plastic beaker and 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein is added (for apple
concentrate starch indicator is used). Titrate with 0.1 N NaOH. Till end point appears (pink). In
case of imli pulp and apple concentrate till pH is 8.2.

Acidity = B.R *multiplying factor / wt. Of sample

product Measured in Multiplying factor B. Reading

Apple % malic acid 0.67
Imli % tartaric acid 0.75
Citrus fruit/juice % citric acid 0.64
UHT milk % lactic acid 0.9

4) Determination of calcium content in juice

1. Mix sample thoroughly and take 50 ml in centrifuge tube
2. Add 1 ml of 1 N HCl and mix properly.
3. Centrifuge at 1600 rpm 10-15 sec.
4. Pipette out 5 ml in conical flask & add 50 ml DM water.
5. Add NaOH (45%w/v) till pH reaches 10-11.
6. Add pinch of Erichrome Black T indicator. Titrate with EDTA til color changes from
red to blue.

Mg of Ca/100ml = 40 * B.R/volume of sample

17
5) Calculation of vitamin C content (ascorbic acid):
1. Take 100 ml of blended sample in conical flask add pinch of potassium iodide.
2. Titrate with iodine solution (0.05 N) using starch indicator(2%).
3. End point blue color

Mg of ascorbic acid/100 ml = iodine factor * B.R

Iodine factor: Take 0.1-0.12 gm ascorbic acid. Dissolve in 100 ml distilled water. Add pinch of
KI & titrate with 0.05 N I2 soln. End point –blue color

I2 factor = wt. of ascorbic acid (gm)/ vol. of I2 solution used(ml)* 103

6) Testing of package (Tetra Pak):

During the filling and packaging of the product package is tested for its pack integrity test
(i.e. conductivity test, LS, TS & Dye test.)
a) Conductivity test: product is emptied from the packs and packet is cut into two halves &
inner part is washed out. Then one halve is filled with salt solution up to half level. It is
kept in salt solution tub then check ammeter needle deflection by dipping one electrode in
salt solution and other in packet.
b) LS test (longitudinal seal): Cut opposite sides of LS. With the help of syringe pierce dye
solution (Erich Rome dye) through LS then observe for spreading of dye away from axis.
c) TS test(transversal sealing): Cut arms of packet cut 1mm at right angles to TS on each
side of package. Bend with the help of plier & check lump & ridges in sealing area. If
the lump or ridges are found or if all foil is completely separatedin sealing area. Then TS
is positive.
d) Dye test: Spread dye on packs, dry it then peel off three layers from outer part If dye
observed in 4th layer then test is positive.

Microbiological test: At the time of dispatch of the product microbiological testing is done.
In online processing of the product swab test is taken to check hygiene of processing equipment.
Total plate count of the finished product should be less than 1 or absent in 0.1 gm. OSA(orange
serum agar) is used for TPC.

CIP for UHT:

The UHT section has got an integrated CIP system. There are two CIP circuits A & B for
processing section. Along with them, there is a separate dedicated CIP circuit for TBA machines
and Tetra Alsafe, this is known as ALCIP-20. Centralized CIP-A circuit, Centralized CIP-B
circuit; ALCIP-20.
Circuit-A is for sugar section, juice section and Circuit-B is for the blending section.

Aseptic Intermediate Cleaning (AIC):

The full CIP cycle takes 70-90 min. It is normally done after production but a short CIP can be
done during a long production period without losing the aseptic condition of the plant. When the
temp. difference of product before holding tube and hot water after steam injection goes above
7oC then AIC to be done, to remove sediment build up in the production line.
Time required for AIC: 30-45min

BOILER HOUSE
An insight into the steam-generating unit of Schreiber Dynamix Dairies Limited

Introduction:
A steam generator or boiler is a closed pressure vessel used to generate steam its
function is to transfer the heat produced by the combustion of fuel to water and
ultimately to generate steam. It consists of the boiler shell, combustion chamber,
grate, furnace, heating surface, mountings and accessories.

The selection of the type and size of a boiler depends upon the capacity,
working pressure, steam pressure, availability of fuel and water, load factor and
available space, initial cost, operating cost and maintenance cost.

 The steam produced by boiler comes to a common header, from
where two tappings are taken. Each tapping is fitted with a PRV (Pressure
Reducing Valve). They reduce the pressure to 2.5-4kg/cm 2 (low Pressure steam),
8-kg/cm 2 (Medium pressure steam) and 16.5kg/cm 2 (High pressure steam).
All the boilers are equipped with an economiser to preheat the
incoming water by utilizing the remaining heat of outgoing flue gas.
