Automate to improve smoke rack cleaning, sanitizing
Michigan Turkey Producers’ (MTP) Grand Rapids, Mich.-based state-of-the-art, ready-to-eat (RTE), products plant recently underwent a 33,000-square-foot addition to help it keep pace with increasing product demand. But as production increased, so did its number of soiled smoke racks.
The plant manufactures a variety of RTE and ready-to-cook, value-added products including pre-seasoned and flavored products, commodity turkey parts (breasts, fillets, thighs, drumsticks, wings and necks) and ground turkey in various portion sizes and packaging options.
