India is the largest milk producer in the world, with most of the milk generated by small dairy farms. They lack access to modern technology because of which the existing quality of milk is not as desired. As milk is highly perishable, it needs to be chilled to around 4°C instantly to prevent the growth of bacteria and maintain its quality.
Fresh milk from a cow or buffalo can be the best source of wholesome nutrition. However, people rarely get to consume fresh milk as the entire process related to chilling and delivery of milk is very time-consuming. Transporting the milk to a dairy or chilling plant can take a few hours, which depletes the freshness of the milk. Pasteurisation and boiling of milk further reduce its nutritional value. This leads to farmers not getting the right price for the milk they deliver.
As a solution, Prompt has come up with MilkoChill, a revolutionary instant milk chiller that chills milk at the source. It is a patented technology that helps farmers chill fresh milk instantly on their dairy farms. In the absence of a milk chiller at the source, not only the quality of milk decline but farmers as well do not get good returns for the milk they sell.
Chilling prevents bacteria growth and maintains the protein level of milk. Keeping in mind the problem of lack of electricity, our instant milk chiller can also work on grid power or solar power. So, even when there is no electricity, farmers can still use the MilkoChill to chill milk instantly. The MilkoChill can chill 40 litres of milk per hour.
