processing plant
Raw material converter
A processing plant is an industrial facility where raw materials are converted into finished or semi-finished products through mechanical, chemical, or biological operations.
Food processing plants turn agricultural products into packaged goods; ore processing plants extract metals from mined rock.
The term emphasizes transformation rather than simple assembly, distinguishing these facilities from manufacturing plants that primarily join components.
The salmon are shipped directly from the boat to the processing plant.
