“GEA’s custom-designed centrifuge has changed our ghee production,” said Amit Vyas, general manager of Amul Dairy.
“After installing the GEA separator, we were able to significantly reduce our fat loss-from 2% of the serum portion to 0.3%-while increasing the ghee production capacity by nearly 30%. We realized the investment in less than a year The rate of return, the additional benefits of improving safety, hygiene and energy efficiency.”
“A prerequisite for a perfect operation of the centrifuge is a detailed understanding of the entire process, the specific requirements of each step, and finally the seamless integration of the centrifuge into the production line,” said Thomas Veer, product manager of sales, separation and flow technology in GEA’s department.
“Amul’s previous ghee production unit used a traditional pre-layered setting, resulting in a high fat loss of about 2%. Thousands of liters of butter melted every day, and the 2% fat loss significantly affected their bottom line. The traditional setting also brought about It has overcome operational challenges, and there are problems with safety, hygiene and energy consumption.”
GEA developed the serum separator according to the requirements of Amul Dairy for the local market. The separator has a capacity of 3,000 liters per hour, allowing Amul to bypass the traditional pre-layered setup and expand the production scale, producing an additional 6 metric tons of output per day without the need for additional equipment or plant investment.
Amul Dairy’s new installation reduces the load on its wastewater treatment plant (ETP), which saves overall electricity and fuel consumption and contributes to its sustainable development plan. The GEA serum separator also helps to shorten the turnaround time of the production process.
“GEA and Amul enjoy a long-term partnership. GEA supplies some of Amul’s largest processing plants and equipment,” said Deepak Singh, vice president of GEA’s separation and flow technology business in India.
“The GEA serum separator marks another step forward in our relationship. This machine is future-oriented; the powerful engineering design allows the serum separator to operate as a stand-alone unit or integrate with future automation solutions. To serve the growing market. And the overall installation is more energy-efficient.”
India produces about 5 million tons of ghee each year; it is the second largest dairy product consumed in India, after curds. Although ghee is mainly produced in the unorganized sector, the market penetration rate of the organized sector is gradually increasing. The Covid-19 pandemic has further boosted the demand for packaged foods, including packaged ghee.
