Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: A shell egg grading and packing operation with a capacity of 80 cases per hour was studied. The operation was found to be inefficient, and the cost of improving it to provide a 100-percent anticipated growth in volume was not feasible. Furthermore, the plant site severely limited the changes that would have to be made. Plans and operating methods were developed for a new plant to be constructed in two phases on another site. The first phase provides more adequate facilities for grading and packing eggs using existing equipment more efficiently. The plant is designed so it can be expanded with minimum changes and the least disruption to ongoing operations. In the second phase of construction, the plant is enlarged by adding space without making major structural or operational changes. Plant output is doubled by adding a second grading and packing machine.
