Projeto técnico para a implantação de uma unidade de produção de leite tipo A

Abstract

This work aims to develop a technical project for the establishment of a type A milk processing agro-industry. The project followed a previously established roadmap, which will contain all the necessary technical and legal information to enable the registration of the establishment with the official regulatory bodies, as such registration is mandatory for facilities processing animal-origin products. The processes have beendetailed from raw material acquisition and product processing, including its legal aspects, layout/plant studies of the facilities, process flows, equipment and machinery survey and sizing, sanitary economic memorandum, and product quality control procedures. The project was designed for a small agroindustry with a daily processing capacity of 2,000 liters of raw milk into type A milk, focusing specifically on implementing a production unit on a rural property in the São José do Cedro region, Santa Catarina. The project adhered to technical parameters and the standard identity and quality of the product, as outlined in the current legislation, foreseeing a productionflow suitable for the facility's layout, industrial and administrative areas, necessary equipment and machinery, a descriptive sanitary memorandum, and the presentation of detailed self-control programs (PACs) to ensure the quality of the final product. The development of structured technical projects that gather information scattered throughout literature and legislation can support professionals in the submission of documentation for registering establishments with municipal, state, or federal regulatory bodies, aiding in the development of small and medium-sized agri-food agro-industrial enterprises. Additionally, alongside this project, product registration with the official body will be necessary, as well as studies regarding economic and financial viability and detailed environmental licensing, all of which are essential for decision- making regarding business implementation.
