Synopsis
Excerpt from Guidelines for Poultry-Processing Plant Layouts
A step-by-step approach for designing efficient poul try-processing plant layouts is developed in this report. The plant is divided into its principal activity areas and each area is analyzed as to its relation to the overall operation and its interrelation with other areas, equip ment arrangement, and space needs. The Operations considered involve handling, processing, and ice-packing (receiving through shipping) broiler-class chickens, which are converted into ready-to-cook form at rates of and birds per hour. Layout designs for each area are illustrated, with emphasis on simplicity, efficiency, and completeness. The layouts are designed from the viewpoint of a plant management that is planning expansion or diversification Without major changes in the plant's structural design, or stopping or slowing production.
A model plant-expansion guide is contained in two area layouts. One layout is designed for a plant processing birds per hour, and the other for the same plant expanded to accommodate birds per hour. The basic considerations involve: (1) Efficient Operation Of each component area, from receiving the live bird to shipping the ice-packed product; (2) facility and equipment arrangement that permits a smooth, balanced, direct flow of product and materials through the plant; (3) design, layout arrangement, and property plat features that allow production capacity to be doubled through building enlargement, without plant shutdown or reduction in Operating efficiency; and (4) provision for: (a) meeting regulatory requirements, (b) avoiding hazards to product quality, (0) maximum employee comfort and convenience, and (d) effective plant maintenance.
