SUCCESS STORY FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2023 45 In 2020, Sunanda Feeds Pvt Ltd, a new producer of animal feed products based in the state of Karnataka in south India, came to Andritz in search of a plant solutions partner to drive its new venture forward. The goal: To design and implement a state-of-the-art animal feed plant with a capacity of 400 tons per day to supply the second largest dairy co-operative in the country - the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF). When Managing Director Nandan Goli set out to build his next-generation feed plant, he could not have anticipated the challenges that lie just around the corner. Just months into the partnership with Andritz, in March of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country, followed by a period of three and half months of consistent heavy rains. This led to a period of seven months in total where work all but ground to a halt. PLANNING, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DIFFICULT TIMES In 2020, India-based animal feed producer Sunanda Feeds contracted Andritz to design and implement a feed plant with a capacity of 400 tons per day. However, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a period of unexpected heavy rainfall, there were challenges at the outset of the project that could not be foreseen. The partnership remained strong, and once conditions allowed the new plant was completed and put into service. Sunanda Feeds is now ready to serve its customers with its new dairy feed plant. The details are explained by the company's Managing Director Nandan Goli.
