Abstract: Excerpt from the report Summary: Materials-handling systems and associated equipment are suggested, for various production rates, for egg grading and packing plants that handle a volume ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 cases per week. Nomograms designed to determine exact storage space requirements for various inventory situations are illustrated, and their use, under a specific situation, is discussed. Equipment layouts for the processing area, involving equipment designed for specified production rates, are illustrated with appropriate flow lines for product and materials. Placement of areas auxiliary to the processing and storage areas to provide for economic operation, space utilization, plant construction, and expandability are explained and illustrated. Construction detail of an example design is illustrated by detailed plan drawings that are explained.
