containers which protect milk from air, light and
heat. This milk is then transported to the plant.

After this point the milk is separated into different
product by adding different nutrients in it. For
example olwell, tarang olper milk and olper cream
etc.

13. The pasteurized milk is then passed through the
UHT (Ultra Heat Treatment). This is the most
sophisticated and advanced stage in milk
processing. which in turn kills all the bacteria.
After this milk is cooled and packed in Tetra pack
cortons as soon as possible.
The cartons are filled automatically and
continuously under completely sterile conditions
and then heat-sealed
