Ovostar finishes egg processing complex development

Ovostar Union, one of the leading egg products producers in Ukraine, has completed the second stage of its egg processing plant as part of a current investment programme.

As a result of the reconstruction, the egg separating capacities have been increased considerably from 60,000 eggs per hour to 180,000 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 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…", 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 programme undertaken by Ovostar Union is being implemented as scheduled.
