Canneries studied WASHINGTON - Use of decentralized plants for initial processing of tomatoes can cut costs and improve waste disposal, according to a US. Department of Agriculture report A plant location model developed by the Depart ment’s Economic Research Service (ERS) was used to lest the economic feasibility of satellite processing plants Fresh tomatoes are inspected, sorted, washed, and made into Juice for shipment to the central cannery for final for mulation of products such as juice and catsup. One satellite plant, for example, 200 miles from the central plant, could save $209,000 per year under California conditions, ERS claims. Reductions in miles hauled and in product deterioration were two factors producing the savings, according to ERS. Initial processing closer to the fields also allows solid and liquid waste disposal in harvested fields or sanitary landfills. Costs for establishing a 50- ton-per-hour satellite plant were estimated to be ap proximately $1.2 million, using 1974 prices. The in vestment recovery period is about years if the satellite replaces existing central plant capacity, ERS notes.
