SYSTEM FEATURES & BENEFITS

• A continuous, automated system that is simple to operate and maintain.
• Lower energy requirements – the blood is steam-coagulated and then mechanically separated.
• Compact design.
• Produces high-quality blood meal with low environmental impact.
• The enclosed system captures odours and dust.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 

Coagulation
Raw blood is continuously pumped from the Storage Tank through the inline Coagulator, where the protein is coagulated by steam injection. After coagulation it flows to the Decanter.

Mechanical dewatering
In the Decanter, centrifugal force separates the water from the coagulum. The blood water is discharged for further processing and the coagulum – containing 55–60% moisture – is conveyed to the Contact Drier.

Drying
The coagulum is continuously fed to the Contact Drier (CD), where it is heated and the moisture evaporated through contact with steam-heated discs. The CD is fitted with a scrubber to recover fine blood dust from the vapour stream back into the product. The resulting dried meal is continuously discharged using the discharge screw conveyor.

The dried blood meal is milled by a Hammermill. The integral fan blows the milled meal into the meal bagging bin.

Ancillary equipment
Rendertech can provide ancillary equipment to suit the specific requirements of your site, including raw blood screening and storage, blood meal storage and bagging, steam generation, heat recovery, deodorising, and wastewater treatment.
