RECEIVING
The raw honey from Association members is shipped to the plant in 55-gallon steel drums, where it is weighed and moved to storage. This particular receiving dock can accommodate 10 semi-trailer trucks similar to the one about to dock. Containers, tank trucks, vans and pickup trucks are also unloaded here. |
DUMPING
The first step in processing honey is to melt it for easier handling. With 22 stainless steel melting tanks, the Association's 400,000-pound daily capacity and large inventory allow us to practice sophisticated blending techniques and assure consistent flavor and appearance. |
