Rendering (animal fat)

The processing of slaughterhouse by-products is a well-established process.

After the cooker, the oil obtained passes through grids to separate the coarse solid phase.

However, the oil is still very rich in residue, and a horizontal decanter centrifuge with a screw conveyor is used to clarify the oil and separate the residue. For this process, we need durable decanters because it involves high temperatures and a significant amount of solid material.

Over the years, we have found that choosing the right machinery has brought considerable benefits, especially in terms of the longevity of the equipment, which can operate for several decades without needing replacement. The clarified liquid is already almost free of solid residue, but to achieve an even cleaner liquid, the oil is passed through a vertical disc centrifuge that completes the job.

If a wet plant is planned, meaning with a water phase, then the decanters and separators must be three-phase.

Whether you need to process CAT1 or CAT3, contact us for further details.
