Egg powder is in growing demand worldwide due to its extended shelf life, ease of storage, and versatility across food, pharmaceutical, and nutrition industries. As a result, many businesses are looking to enter this space by setting up their own egg powder plants.

If you're considering investing in this profitable venture, understanding the installation process is essential. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to install an egg powder plant—from planning to commissioning.

Step 1: Feasibility Study & Market Research
Before installation begins, it’s crucial to evaluate:


Local egg supply and sourcing reliability

Target market (bakers, exporters, food manufacturers, etc.)

Regulatory compliance (food safety, environmental, and labor laws)

Expected production capacity and scalability

Return on investment (ROI) and payback period


Tip: Partner with an experienced manufacturer like MKS Industrial Solutions to help assess the technical and financial feasibility.

Step 2: Site Selection and Preparation
Choose a location that offers:

Proximity to egg farms or suppliers

Good transportation access

Availability of water, power, and drainage

Adequate space for machinery, utilities, and storage

Zoning approval for food processing operations


Prepare the site with foundations, drainage systems, clean water supply, and separate zones for raw and finished product handling to meet hygiene standards.

Step 3: Equipment Procurement
A modern egg powder plant typically includes:


Egg washer and sanitizer

Egg breaking and separating machine

Filtration unit

Pasteurizer

Spray dryer

Powder cooling and sieving system

Packing and sealing line

Control and automation systems

CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems

MKS Industrial Solutions offers customized, turnkey egg powder plant solutions including design, supply, installation, and training.

Step 4: Installation of Machinery
This is a critical phase and involves:

Unpacking and inspecting all equipment

Positioning machines as per layout

Electrical and plumbing connections

Integrating automation and control systems

Testing and calibration

Professional installers and technicians from your plant supplier should oversee the setup to ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance.

Step 5: Trial Runs and Commissioning
Once installed, the plant goes through a series of trial runs to test:


Performance of individual machines

Quality of egg powder output

Process efficiency and consistency

Safety and hygiene standards

Compatibility of automation systems

Adjustments are made based on test results. Once satisfactory, the plant is commissioned for full-scale production.

Step 6: Training and Handover
Before operations begin, plant staff must be trained on:

Machine operation

Cleaning and maintenance protocols

Safety and quality control procedures

Troubleshooting and downtime management

MKS Industrial Solutions provides on-site training and post-installation support to ensure your team is fully equipped.

Step 7: Licensing and Certification
After successful installation and testing, you’ll need to acquire:

FSSAI (or equivalent food safety authority) approval

ISO or HACCP certification (optional but beneficial)

Local municipal or environmental clearances

These ensure your facility meets global quality and safety benchmarks.
