Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The layouts and designs presented in this report are intended to serve as guides for the planning and construction of apple packing and storage houses of various sizes throughout the country. Layouts are developed for: Three packing rooms, using different methods of sizing and packing apples, or having a different packing capacity; and three storage houses, with capacities of 25,000, 50,000, and 100,000 standard wooden boxes. The first packing room layout is for a single packing line for exact sizing, the second is for a single line for group sizing, and the third is for a double line — one for exact sizing and the other for group sizing. The equipment in each packing line was selected to provide the most efficient and economical overall operation.
