World-class infrastructure

Mahaan Milk Food’s manufacturing facility at Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India was commissioned in the year 2015. The facility spans an area of 10-acres, and is built with world-class manufacturing equipment empowered to process about 500,000 litres of milk every day and 1.5 billion kilograms of milk annually.

The plant is furnished with best-in-class innovation and technology, which guarantee robust quality standards and prerequisites and ensure complete compliance to manufacturing norms and requirements, including GMP.  

Cutting-edge equipment

 
 

With our manufacturing and infrastructure capabilities, we stay ahead of curve by investing in the latest technological advancement that ensures compliance to all food safety standards.

With their design and installation qualifications, our facilities are highly capable of formulating various clinical- and infant-grade nutritional and functional products for a wide range of consumers. We ensure gentle drying with low heat for preservation of flavour and nutritional profile.

 

The scope of innovation with our multistage spray-drying technology has helped to set a new benchmark to deliver quality, efficiency, safety, and environment compliance. The multistage spray-drying allows for agglomeration and instantisation for better wettability and sinkability of product.

The spray-drying equipment has an output capacity of drying 9,000 MT of milk powder annually and ensures minimum moisture in the product at the end of the run. The dry-blending mixers have an annual capacity of 30,000MT annually and ensure homogeneity in mixing.

 
 
 

We aim at reducing production waste and believe in enhancing the overall efficiency of our plant operations. With a fully SCADA-operated process, we facilitate data-driven decisions to increase output, reduce costs and hold a great control over our processes.

Exclusive in-house facilities

  • Quality oriented processes

    We take pride in committing to quality throughout our value chain, not just the end point. Right from reception of raw materials, including milk, to the finished product, different designated controls have been set to guarantee the best quality for our end users.

  • In-house laboratories

    Our in-house chemical and microbiological laboratories, and our pathogen and non-pathogen environmental monitoring labs are well-equipped with the necessary devices to perform analyses on all raw materials and packaging materials. We also test intermediate and finished products to support product release and monitoring.

  • Internationally compliant testing

    We use certified internationally compliant testing methods like AOAC, FSSAI and ISO. Further, we have systems in place to ensure that data confidentially requirements are adhered to.

  • Hygiene-engineering

    Our facility is hygienically-engineered, has controlled temperature and RH combinations, dedicated air-lock entries for man and material in process area. This protects the classified area from the contamination that may occur during the entry and exit of personnel and material.

  • Sanitary warehousing

    The homogeneity of our products is boosted by installation of hygiene-engineered machines that enable deep cleaning. The manufacturing and warehousing areas have sanitary, polyethylene microbial flooring and are equipped with AHUs to provide US FDA Class 4-5 air quality guaranteeing maximum hygiene levels.

  • GMP and HACCP approach

    We believe in the preventive approach, and have ensured implementation of GMP and application of procedures based on HACCP principles. Through our quality and hygiene standards, we strive to ensure environmental compliance and have also set up a water effluent treatment facility, with a capacity of 30 kl and statutory adherence.

Traceability through technology

 

We have a 100% automated process, permitting greater audit-ability and traceability down to individual finished good.

With the incorporation of IoT, our facilities run to their highest potential enabling us to achieve high levels of food safety, improve traceability, cut down wastage, and reduce costs and risks across the different stages of processing and packaging.

As a cornerstone of our quality efforts, Microsoft NAV is spread across all functions providing the transparency to help direct and manage quality testing and reporting from raw material to finished goods. It offers end-to-end insight into the quality dynamics of our facility with complete forward and backward, auditable tracking of lots through our processes.

The facility is also monitored 24x7 with 200 cameras placed at various locations for surveillance.
