Shri Ashirwad Ice Factory And Milk Chilling Center

Being out here in the Industrial Area on CP Road means things are a bit different than a normal shop. We have two sides to what we do here, the ice factory part and then the milk chilling center. It’s a lot of machinery and big pipes everywhere. The floor is almost always damp because of the condensation and the constant washing we do to keep things clean. Trucks pull in and out of our yard all day and night. Some bring in the fresh milk from the local farms, and others take away the ice blocks for the markets. It’s a constant cycle that never really stops. We have a few guys who handle the heavy lifting and the machinery. It isn't the quietest place to work, but it is steady. The weather really affects our day. When it’s boiling hot outside, the chilling units have to work twice as hard to keep the milk from spoiling. We spend a lot of time checking gauges and making sure the temperatures stay exactly where they need to be. If things go wrong, it is a big mess, so we stay on top of it as best as we can. There aren't many people walking around this part of town, just other workers and truck drivers. We have a small corner where we take our breaks. It’s mostly just us and the equipment.
