Field Report <br>Got milk? Palletizing system<br> has it and moves it--fast
Fluid milk plant improves efficiency on its processing and packaging lines.
Built in 1981, the plant was completely stripped and rebuilt without shutting down during the 18-month long project. Turner Holdings' goal was to create its largest, most technologically advanced processing facility out of the Gold Star Dairy plant. The renovation needed to expand capacity for existing products, reduce maintenance costs, replace older machinery to increase efficiency and production, and improve ergonomics and worker safety. "We were looking to make our processing and packaging lines more cost efficient and do long runs for our own brands and our larger customers and shorter runs for our smaller customers," says Flagg.
