What's New?
Automated Milk Plants
Improved plant layouts, along
with automated and highly me
chanized operation methods, can
significantly reduce costs for
dairy plants manufacturing but
ter and dried milk products, the
USD A reports
Automation and improved lay
out could cut annual operating
costs about $33,440 in a plant
with a daily capacity of 250,000
pounds of milk, studies show.
An automated plant manu
facturing sweet cream butter,
low-and high-heat powdered
skim milk, and dried instantized
skim milk and buttermilk would
jequire only 17 workers, com
pared with 25 for a non-auto
mated plant of the same size.
The cleaning operation would
icquire four fewer workers. One
less worker would be needed for
each of these operations receiv
ing, processing, bagging pro
ducts, and maintenance
The studies weie conducted
under a reseaich contract award
ed by USDA’s Agricultural Re
search Service.
Complete information on auto
mation and layout, data on how
the plant operates, labor re
quirements, and costs and bene
fits of labor saving devices' are
in a 36-page report prepared by
Paul H Tracy, former profes
sor of dairy technology at the
University of Illinois. Urbana
