Abstract

Excerpt from the report: For many years, storage house operators have been increasingly interested in improving methods and reducing costs of handling potatoes. This study, therefore, was undertaken to: (1) Measure the relative efficiency of various work methods, including types or combination of types of handling equipment; (2) determine the kinds and amounts of equipment needed by storage house operators for efficient handling of different volumes of potatoes; (3) appraise comparative labor and equipment costs of moving various volumes of potatoes into storages of different sizes and designs with different methods and types of equipment; (4) develop and test improved methods of using various types and combinations of potato handling equipment; and (5) determine, with respect to potato handling operations, the comparative efficiency of various layouts and designs for potato storage houses.
