Poultry Byproduct Processing
Entry System
Material that enters the system must be handled at standards that are required by the customers that use them. For example, for animal feeds, the product is generally considered inedible and handling methods are less stringent than that of edible markets. The edible systems will have edible byproducts directly fed into the process system and the machinery shall be installed in clean rooms to meet the bacterial quality, USDA and/or FDA regulatory needs.
Grinder-Preheater
Raw meat products entering the system are emulsified and cooked, in-line on their way to the decanter.
Decanter Module
The decanter separates the liquid from the solids, sending the solids to the Windhexe and the liquids to the centrifuge module.
Centrifuge Module
Modules are set up with the basic components and pre-wired and plumbed before shipping to the customers site. The centrifuge module refines the oil and water where the oil quality is of the highest value and quality (considerably higher than current methods allow).
Modules are now outfitted with wired panels and plumbed to simplify the piping and provide better accessibility for cleaning and maintenance.
The use of the decanter removes fat, and water, so well that the solids volume is minimized to the Windhexe. This makes the Windhexe quite small compared to even the blower system that is used to convey the processed material from the Windhexe to the storage silos. A wet scrubber is all that is required to satisfy environmental regulations.
Evaporator Module
The evaporator module concentrates the liquid from the centrifuge, making an extremely nutritious and highly flavorful extract. It can either be sold as an extract, or added to the solids entering the Windhexe to create a fortified, and highly flavored powder.
Silos
Powder handling is done with vacuum conveying to prevent material losses.
