Food Processing Plant Design & layout
locate boiler room, power station, cooling towers, water pumping station etc. on
periphery but adjacent to the area of largest use
The usual clearances between pipes including flanges and lagging and between
pipes and other objects should be 25 mm but this should be increased if hot pipes
run near plastic pipes, cables etc.
Steam and water mains, electricity and telephone cables etc. should, in general, run
parallel to the road system and should avoid going through plant area
Locate office building close to the main entrance
Provide adequate parking facilities for vehicles waiting to load / unload, cars,
scooters etc.
Plan roads in such a manner that the vehicles do not pass through process areas.
Ideally, outside of a plant should be accessible on all four sides by road
Workshop and general stores should be located within easy access of the processing
units.
