German firm GEA claims that it will establish an AmulFed milk powder plant in Gandhinagar which will not only be the largest plant of its kind in Asia but also the most environment friendly, say media reports.
As agreed with the AmulFed Dairy, formerly known as Mother Dairy, GEA will provide a turnkey dairy plant that will produce 150 tn/day of skim milk powder and 120 tn/day of dairy whitener/baby food. AmulFed’s plant will have a milk processing capacity of 90,000 litres/hr.
The plant will be designed to operate in fully automated mode. This includes the powder production, conveying, storage, packing, final packed product conveying and a complete management information system.
There is so far no information about the project’s total cost.
