Commercial egg processing is often done with various types of automated equipment, such as an egg breaking and contents separating machine... Such equipment can include a number of shell egg cracking and separating units..., linked together in an endless belt or chain which can be driven through various stations whereat the shell eggs are cracked, the shell halves spread apart, the shell egg contents drained, and the yolk and albumen portions thereof separated for discharge into selected receptacles at a downstream location. 1, record 1, English, - egg%20processing

Transformation des œufs. Cette industrie regroupe 3 types de transformation : La transformation primaire, qui consiste à casser des œufs pour fabriquer des produits liquides ou congelés. - La surtransformation, qui consiste à utiliser des œufs en coquille ou transformés pour la préparation d'autres produits. - L'extraction : d'autres entreprises utilisent des œufs soit pour en extraire des composantes, telles que des protéines, soit pour produire des vaccins. 1, record 1, French, - transformation%20des%20%26oelig%3Bufs

Upstream firms produce propane through natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Propane is then either stored in underground storage caverns or transported by pipeline, rail, or truck by midstream firms. Finally, downstream distributors move propane to consumers, who purchase it for business and personal use. 2, record 2, English, - upstream%20firm

The Processing and Distribution Subsystem(PDS) is one of eight subsystems which together form the RADARSAT-2 ground segment. Its role is to process the raw SAR data received from the satellite into the RADARSAT-2 products, and deliver these products to downstream consumers of the data.... The PDS is based on MDA's existing Product Generation System(PGS) which currently produces SAR imagery for multiple satellite missions(RADARSAT-1, ERS-1, ERS-2, JERS-1) and also processes optical satellite imagery from many sensors. 3, record 4, English, - processing%20and%20distribution%20subsystem
