The innovators of the Las Tunas Dairy Products Company saved the local economy more than 600 thousand pesos last year. Their inventions also made possible the operation of the industry.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- At that stage, they recovered the evaporative condenser whose cost in the international market is around half a million dollars, Vladimir Góngora Carreras, president of the Association of Innovators and Rationalizers (ANIR) there, said.
In addition, the soybean plant was automated, an action that confers greater technological autonomy to the entity since all the software that is used is of national invoice, as well as the equipment. It makes it possible not to depend on foreign means for repairs or any other action.
The head of this production area, Alfredo Parga, stated that the production of soy yogurt, flavored soy milk, soy cream cheese, natural spreadable cream, and soy milk candy is now carried out with national technology.
The innovators of the Las Tunas Dairy Products Company also repaired air compressors, hubs, two autoclaves for the processing of chemical products, the cheese packaging machine, and a container of ammonia, with a cost valued at about 100,000 convertible pesos.
Likewise, the president of the ANIR highlighted in the center, they recovered the capacitor bank, equipment in charge of regulating the power factor of electricity and whose proper functioning implies a better use of energy carriers, which deserved the recognition by the Electricity Company of the province.
Currently, Góngora Carreras stated, all the machines are working, which translates into maintaining the productive rhythm and higher quality for the products destined for the population.
He also assured that, in the current year, they plan to present 10 works, among these new products that are made in the Dairy Products Company to fill the lack of others that are not in production due to lack of raw material.
Osmani Atencio, technical production director of the entity, pointed out that in 2021 they also plan to start skimming some of the milk to use this component in the production of other assortments such as cream cheese, whose production is affected sometimes due to the lack of vegetable fat.
Arael Martínez, director of the industry, said that in the next five years they should receive equipment to improve the production and better respond to future increases in the delivery of milk by livestock.
