Abstract: Excerpts from the report: An egg processor can no longer depend on securing a competitive advantage simply by offering products of high quality. The average quality of shell eggs produced today is high compared with that of the past, and it can be maintained by using modern techniques and equipment. Advantages are gained by performing the processing functions at lower cost. Processors today are adopting automation as a way of lowering costs. This report describes a building and layout of equipment for an automated, high-volume plant that processes eggs in both shell and liquid form. It shows a compatible system of plant and machines that will permit the maximum production that should be expected. Descriptions of the building and equipment are included, with an analysis of costs.
