What to Do Before Breaking Ground on a Plant-Based Foods Processing Plant

There are different design considerations for building a plant-based processing plant. Many plant-based foods—especially plant-based proteins—have substantially more ingredients than other foods. The material handling characteristics of those ingredients can vary widely from free flowing, to difficult, to cohesive. This whitepaper addresses what to do before building a new processing plant (or refurbishing an existing plant) and the unique challenges associated with processing plant-based foods.
