ASEPTIC PACKAGING STATION

An Aseptic Packaging Unit, consisting of a sophisticated tetrapack packing plant imported

fromSweden and Stormac UHT Plant are installed in the Union . This is the first of its kind in Tamil
Nadu. This unit is packing 200 ml Flavoured Milk ,500 ml Tetra Fino and 1000 ml standardized milk. This
Milk has a shelf life of 120 days.

Ultra High temperature treated milk was introduced in India during 1985. It has a shelf life of 120
days at room temperature without refrigeration. For Ultra High Temperature treatment, milk of low
bacteriological count is taken and is subjected to high temperature of 140 degree C gradually ( Exposed
for 2 seconds) and cooled back to ambient temperature and packed in sterile Aluminium foil polythene
paper in the shape of Brick.
The main advantages of Ultra High Temperature treated milk are:
1. No refrigeration is required until opened.
2. Very hygenic and no adulteration can be done.
3. Single way transportation, easy for storage, pilfer-proof and ready to consume product.
4. Reasonable price.
