Milk reception unit is a facility or section of a dairy plant where raw milk is received from various sources such as farmers and co-operatives. The milk reception unit is responsible for ensuring the milk meets the required quality standards and safety regulations before it is processed into various dairy products.
The milk reception unit typically consists of several components, including a receiving area where milk is unloaded from tanker trucks or other transport containers, a milk testing area to verify the quality of the milk, and storage tanks for holding the milk before processing. During the receiving process, the milk may be tested for factors such as temperature, acidity, fat content, and presence of bacteria or other contaminants.
