The storage capacity is based on peak production of the whole production line.

All service units have standby units to ensure a continuous operation in case of breakdown and to facilitate training in the operation and maintenance of equipment.

An emergency generator takes care of power cuts.

A waste water treatment plant is included to comply with the strict environmental legislation in many countries.

An emergency reservoir with a capacity of 60,000 litres water corresponding to 2 to 3 days' consumption will offset any breakdown of the water supply.

An independent water supply must be considered as a separate item.

5.13 Milk Collecting Centre

Description

The milk collecting centre (Drawing 24) is designed to handle 1,000 litres of milk a day.

The reception area has two sections, one counter to receive milk from small holders and a ramp where large quantities of milk can be received.

There is easy access from both reception areas to the collecting equipment. In the layout a Basin cooler with space for 25 40-litre milk cans has been shown. It is possible, if the collection system justifies it, to install a cooling tank.

A compressor room has been allowed for, to cater for individual choice regarding the cooling systems. The compressor room should also serve as a workshop and spare parts store.

Washing facilites are available inside for equipment used in the milk collecting centre and outside for farmers to wash their milk containers after milk delivery.

It is assumed that hot water will be supplied from an electric water heater. Where no electricity is available a 44–gallon drum can be built into a chimney arrangement and provide sufficient hot water for both washing operations mentioned above.

A hand-operated cream separator with a capacity of approximately 500 litres an hour is included to facilitate separation of low grade milk.

The centre is large enough to give practical training to six students at a time.

5.14 Hand Milking Unit 6 to 10 cows

Description

The hand milking unit (Drawing 25) is designed to cater for small scale dairy farmers with handmilked herds of six to ten mature cows.

The unit contains two milking places, two calf pens, a fodder store and a milk room equipped with the essentials for carrying out a technically correct milking procedure.

It is assumed that no electricity or cooling equipment is available. Needs for light must be covered with kerosene or gas-fuelled lamps. Delivery of milk have to take place immediately after each milking.

The milking places have mangers for concentrate feeding and a simple fastening system ensures that the cows are kept quiet during milking. It is estimated that milking of ten cows can be completed within one hour.

The calf pens have half doors opening in the total width of the individual pen for easy cleaning.

The milk room is equipped with a cement basin divided into two for washing equipment and has shelves along the wall.

Hot water will have to be supplied from a charcoal or wood-fire outside the building.

The unit will provide practical training for four to six students.

5.15 Mechanical Milking Unit 20 to 40 cows

Description

The mechanical milking unit is designed to cater for medium to large scale dairy farmers utilizing machine milking on herds of 20 to 40 mature cows.

The unit contains a milking area with space for five cows, five calf pens for young calves, a calf pen for calves more than six weeks old, a fodder store, a milk room and a compressor room.

A pipe machine milking unit with two teat cup clusters and milk delivery directly to the milk room facilitate an up-to-date milking system. It is estimated that milking of 20 cows can be completed within 60 to 90 minutes.

The calf pens for young calves have half doors in the whole width of each individual pen for easy cleaning.

The pen for six weeks' calves provides a free moving area.

The fodder sotre contains no special equipment except for a weighing scale and a trolley for fodder transport.

The milk room is provided with washing facilities, can rack and a recording desk. Hot water is supplied from an electrical water heater placed in the compressor room, where the vacuum pump for the milking machine is also placed. There is also space in this room to install a compressor for cooling the milk.

The unit is large enough for six to eight student at a time to be given practical training.
