Production area where the oil had been refined.
· The production
manager gave a detailed information regarding the step by step process of refining and the automation system that
had been followed in their plant. The oil after refining process taken to the
lab which is located at their plant for quality check. After the quality check
if the oil meet the standards they are processed for packing and visited the
Primary and secondary packing Area of the refined oil.
· This area had many
packing lines and we had a look at different oils like Sunland sunflower oil,
Roobini oil and Tamilnadu government palmolein oil packing... The overhead tank
at the factory had different oil in each tank and these oils are packed through
respective pipelines.
· Had a look at the oil tins and bottles manufacturing area where they manufacture their own packaging tin to reduce cost rather than outsourcing it.
INTERACTIVE SESSION:
After the visit to
the different areas of the plant we had an interactive session with the
Management team members.The General Manager and The Management team clarified
the doubts.
The doubts asked
by the students:
· What will they do with the wastage?
The wastage that is the fat content removed
from the oil had been supplied to the baking companies and other soap
manufacturing companies for the utilisation of fat.
· Is the refining process alone had been taking place in the plant?
They told they
import the oil in the crude form from other countries like Ukraine, Malaysia
etc... From the harbour the oil had been taken to the plant and they refined
the oil to the edible form and the end product reach the customers.
·
They presented the Video clippings of their
plant and gave a detailed insights regarding how the company had been started
and developed.
To conclude, the opportunity to visit this industry has provided us with a lot of insights in regard to the production activities and other managerial sides.
