Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient layout for an egg products processing plant and to determine investment estimates, operating costs, labor requirements, and potential returns to guide those planning the construction and operation of such a plant. A recommended layout for an egg products processing plant is described and illustrated. It was designed for efficient operation at an hourly production rate of 70 standard cases containing 30 dozen eggs each and met the requirements of the Egg Products Inspection Act. Features of the layout provide adaptability to handle the end product as fresh chilled liquid or as a frozen product. Each area of the plant is discussed in order of the product flow, and the recommended methods of operation along with the area descriptions are included. Also discussed are the initial investment and fixed and variable costs. An analysis was made to determine costs and potential returns at various output levels.
