A Modular Shell Egg Grading And Packing Plant

Excerpt from A Modular Shell Egg Grading and Packing Plant 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. The anticipated cost of constructing a preengineered steel building is approximately including delivery to the site, foundation, floor, insulation, and plumbing. Benefits that could be expected include more efficient use of labor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The purpose of this study was to develop a layout and operating methods for a 35-case-per-hour egg-grading and packing plant, located close enough to the production houses to facilitate conveying the eggs into the plant to minimize handling costs and maximize quality. Producers should use the expected cost and return data appropriate for their individual situations to determine the feasibility of such a plant. In situations where the price spreads are less than presented in this report, such a plant might not be feasible
