Abstract

Excerpts from the report Objectives: This study was made to determine the most efficient and economical methods and equipment to use in packing ice-packed whole ready-to-cook chickens in plants with a volume of 25,000 to 40,000 chickens per day. The sequential breakdown was as follows: (1) Measure the efficiency of currently used methods and equipment, (2) make improvements in methods and techniques where possible, (3) adapt existing commercial equipment to packing operations where applicable, (4) develop and construct new equipment where the need existed and commercial equipment was not available, (5) incorporate into packing methods and equipment those features that were conducive to maintaining quality of product, and (6) compare existing work methods and equipment with the improved methods and equipment developed during the study.
