Dairy processing industry in India is among the biggest and rapidly developing industries in any country being one of the global leaders in this sector. As there is an increment in consumer demand, change in technology and increase in competition, pressure is being exerted on companies to reduce their costs of running their operations without reducing quality of their products. Can it be a balance?
Absolutely. Saving cost, never compromising quality, and increasing it: At Aviva Equipments, we are certain that efficiency, innovation, and intelligent investment are the mantra.
The Cost Drivers in the Dairy Processing Industry
It is very important to note down the main areas where the cost accrues before implementing any cost saving measures:
The energy (boilers, chillers, pasteurizers)
Use of water and disposal of wastes
Manual work and effort
Worn out machineries and high breakdowns
Low packaging and logistics
Smart Automation: Expenditure on Efficiency
Automation is one of the most influential methods to minimize expenses within the dairy processing sector in India.
We have the high-efficiency dairy processing machines at Aviva Equipments that are not only able to deal with manual labour but also provide consistency in its quality of the products. Robotized or automated solutions to pastuerization, homogenization, CIP (clean-in-place) and packaging eliminate human error, time factor and energy wastage.
Advantages of Automation:
Increased throughput and quicker processing The company can generate increased throughput and process faster.
Reduced wastage of products
Reduced wages Investment Funds Lower labor costs
Increased levels of hygiene and FSSAI standards observances
Energy-efficient equipments: The long-term money-saving tip
Consumption of electricity and fuel is also a cost factor. These costs can be radically lowered in the use of modern energy efficient machines. Aviva Equipments provides machines that consist of intelligent control of energy, optimized motors, and low heat loss design.
Tip:
Put in advance equipment and replace old gear with energy saving equipment e.g.:
Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
Pipeline or tank insulation
Water Management, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Cleaning, processing and cooling use a lot of water. Nevertheless, little consideration is given by most dairies concerning the possibility of water recycling as well as management.
Smart Practices:
Pre-rinse using clean rinse water Only
Put some finances in automatic CIP systems to save water consumption
Install water treatment units so as to reuse waste water safely
Not only do these steps cut on your water bill but they also make your operations sustainable to the environment which in the current market it is essential in India in the context of dairy processing industry.
Preventative Maintenance Costs: Straying Away from Downtimes
Regular breakdowns of the machines are not only expensive to maintain, but also were they to stall, the production would be lost. Aviva Equipments offers strong and low-maintenance machines as well as support to the clients concerning the usage of predictive maintenance plans.
Best Practices:
Monitor with the use of real-time IoT-enabled machines
Schedule examinations every month
Fault diagnosis is easy when you train your workers on the early identification of faults.
Workflow and Lean Operations Optimization
The rationalization of your plant and workflow could help to eliminate extra footwork, decrease the handling time, and minimise the labor demand. An efficient layout enhances efficiency and decreases delays in the process.
Simple Steps:
Adopt modular designs to equipments
Keep storage of raw materials close to production line
Automate transfer by using intelligent conveyors
Packaging Innovations Which Save
Packaging on its part keeps your product safe, but it is an added expense. Big savings can be achieved by switching to alternative cost effective but high quality maintenance packaging materials, and automated packaging machines.
We at Aviva equipments design and deliver customer packaging lines according to your likes owning dairy products whether milk, yogurt, paneer and ghee.
