Looking to enter poultry processing with low initial investment and room to grow? Meyn® LEAP is a modular, scalable solution that allows you to start small and expand effortlessly as your market demand increases. With LEAP, you can begin operations with just 1,300 birds per hour (bph) and scale up to 15,000 bph using the same core technology—without costly replacements.
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
The foundation of a successful poultry processing plant starts with selecting the right site. Your location should have enough space for future expansion, ensuring that as your capacity grows, your facility can grow with it. Ideally, it should be close to farms for easy access to live birds and near your target market to reduce logistics costs. Essential resources like a reliable water supply and wastewater treatment must be available, along with necessary permits to comply with local environmental regulations. Thinking ahead at this stage ensures smooth, cost-effective growth.
Step 2: Plan for Growth
A strong site master plan is key to long-term success. By designing your plant with expansion in mind, you create a roadmap for growth that allows you to scale seamlessly when the time is right. Start with a 1,300 bph capacity layout, but ensure that space, utilities, and infrastructure are prepared to handle future upgrades to 15,000 bph. This forward-thinking approach eliminates costly redesigns and allows for faster, more efficient expansion when demand increases.
Step 3: Build Smart, Expand Fast
Construction is fast, cost-effective, and designed for scalability. The LEAP concept uses modular building techniques, including cam-lock PUR sandwich panels for walls, steel roofing, and reinforced, frost-resistant flooring. These materials allow for quick assembly and ensure that your facility is built for durability while remaining flexible for future modifications. The smart design ensures that when it’s time to expand, you won’t need to tear down or start over—just build onto what’s already there.
Step 4: Expand with Minimal Downtime
When your market grows, expanding your plant is fast and efficient with minimal disruption. Once you’re ready, simply order additional equipment, and construct the new sections of your facility before installation. When the time comes to upgrade, the Meyn team integrates new machinery with your existing setup in just two days, ensuring a smooth transition without extended downtime. Best of all, existing equipment doesn’t need to be replaced—it’s seamlessly incorporated into your growing production line.
