Development of a Low-Cost Light-weight Milk Chilling Can for Small-Scale Dairy Farmers

Source summary

The source requests a lightweight 30–40-litre milk chilling can for small farmers, especially remote and hilly regions. Insulation and passive cooling such as reusable ice packs or phase-change materials should maintain roughly 4–8°C for six to twelve hours without external power. Food-grade construction, hygiene, durability and lower handling weight/cost are central; monitoring indicators and ergonomic additions are optional. Thermal performance and food safety require prototype testing.
