Ovostar completes expansion for egg processing plant

Ukrainian egg producer, Ovostar Union, has completed reconstruction works on its egg processing plant, which had been executed as a part of the present investment programme.

As a result of the reconstruction, the egg separating capacities have been increased considerably from 60 thousand eggs per hour to 180 thousand eggs per hour after installation of new equipment by an Italian producer, Pelbo.

The pasteurisation capacities have been also increased from two tonnes per hour to eight tonnes per hour. This was achieved through installation of a modern system for pasteurisation and standardisation of dry substances in liquid egg products by a French producer, Actini.

"The egg breaking facilities currently used in the production process are equipped with a function that is unique for Ukraine: the automatic scanning of the egg mass. Such an innovation will allow us to control the quality of white and yolk separation more carefully. The new facilities by the world's leading manufacturers will increase processing capacities to more than two million eggs per day (previously: one-two million eggs per day)", said Golovnya Igor, director of the Ovostar Egg Processing Plant.

"Such an equipment will allow us to produce even better quality dry and liquid egg products under the Ovostar TM. We shall continue implementing our strategy of meeting the expectations of the most demanding customers by producing egg products of the highest quality".

The investment program undertaken by Ovostar Union is being implemented as scheduled.
