English term or phrase: primed and fed and acceptable operators

Dear colleagues,
I am translating a contract (written by Italians) from English to Polish and I have come accross a sentence which to me looks ungrammatical and lacks meaning. Here it goes:

Taking-Over Tests:
shall be carried out on the basis of standard XXX and YYY on one single basic product/package size on 6 hours measurement during 8 hours continuous working shift, after verifying that packaging materials and utilities correspond to the specifications of the Agreement, in conditions of Plant continuously **primed and fed and acceptable operators **.

I understand the concept of a taking-over test, but I cannot grasp the meaning of the ending fragment whatsoever.

Any help appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Selected answer:working operating under full and continuous production, supervised by trained operators

Explanation:
Really this English shows signs of a few translations and is difficult to understand.
I think that the term means something like this:

"with the plant operating under full and continuous production, supervised by trained operators."

As suggested by Phong Le, this could be "operated by trained staff", rather than supervised.
