The process of setting up a
Pladot Mini Dairy
The Mini Dairy is an equipment and know how package that includes
design, equipment manufacturing, assembly, know-how and training. Usually,
the process of setting up a Mini Dairy is as follows:
1) We receive the filled in questionnaire from the
customer or his agent.

Metric or Pounds or Spanish
2) Pladot prepares a proposal, including all processing
equipment,
transportation, assembly, operation and
know-how.
3) After making all the necessary changes in the proposal
according to the
customer’s needs, the customer orders the Mini
Dairy and pays the down
payment.
4) At this stage our engineer designs the layout of the
Mini Dairy. If it is an
existing building, he specifies the changes
needed to be carried out. If it is
a new building he designs the layout and the
customer is responsible to
construct the building accordingly. It takes
3–4 months for Pladot to
prepare the equipment, and during this
time the customer may construct
the dairy building.
5) During that time the customer will also send a team of
2-3 people to our
dairy site (at Kibbutz Ein Harod Meuhad in Israel)
to take a training
course in our local Mini dairy, and learn
equipment operation and
product processing. It is an option, not
a must. The customer pays for the
flight tickets and Pladot for
accommodation, commuting, the training
course etc.
6) Once the equipment and the building are ready, the
customer pays the
balance payment, as agreed, and Pladot
delivers the equipment
7) Once the equipment arrives to the Mini Dairy site, our
team will come to
install it – a mission that takes few
days.
8) When the equipment is assembled, we start
operation and training the
local crew. We teach how to operate
the equipment and process the
dairy products. The training course
takes 1– 3 weeks (depends on how
many types of products the dairy is
planned to process). After that, the
local crew continues to work
independently. We are available to answer
any question by the phone or E-mail.
9) A local company will provide after sale services
and general maintenance
when needed. Pladot gives one-year
warranty on the equipment.
10) The Mini Dairy is on the road for success.
