Feathers can be processed by the Rendertech Continuous Feather Processing System (CFPS) to produce a protein-rich meal with high digestibility. The continuous process is suitable for raw material capacities of 3 tonne/hr and above. The system, which is based on the Rendertech Continuous Feather Hydrolyser (CFH), produces high-quality feather meal, is energy efficient, and requires minimal labour to operate.
SYSTEM FEATURES & BENEFITS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Hydrolysation
Raw feathers are conveyed via a metal detector to the Continuous Feather Hydrolyser. The feed hopper
has a pressing section incorporated to expel free water and reduce processing costs. The Hydrolyser heats the feathers by steam
injection and a heated jacket, with the pressure automatically controlled to optimise digestibility and protein content.
Drying
Following hydrolysation, the feathers are continuously discharged and conveyed via a pipeline to the
Contact Drier, where they are dried to 8% moisture content. The meal from the Drier is continuously discharged ready for milling and
storage before despatch.
Ancillary equipment
Rendertech can provide ancillary equipment to suit the specific requirements of your site,
including raw material preparation and storage, conveying, meal milling and storage, steam generation, heat recovery, odour control, and
wastewater treatment.
OPTIONS
'Rendertech's solution has given us a state-of-the art plant. The compressed air cleaning solution gives standards of automation not seen before in NZ using this technology. The benefit of the compressed air injection solution, in automatically cleaning and unblocking the 100m pipe was a key reason for us choosing this solution and has worked perfectly from day one.'
We look forward to hearing from you!
