These types of equipment are useful to make cheese, khoya, and other dairy products such as curd.

If you want to keep them for a long time then you should clean and maintain them effectively. These units include reception units, storage units, Pasteurization units, sterilization, and homogenization. These are explained as below-:

Milk Reception units

These units are useful to test the milk after pumping. Firstly the milk is produced by milking machines at dairy farms then this milk is transported to other areas for the reception. After delivery, the milk to plants and then the reception process will perform in the milk plants. In this process, the milk is measured and tested and then leave it for the cooling process.
