STORK Rendering plant - 60 tons/day

• Processing animal by-products from abattoirs and meat processing facilities.
• Converting waste materials into valuable products such as meat and bone meal, feather meal, and animal fats.
• Handling various raw materials including bone/meat waste, blood, and feathers.
• Producing ingredients for animal feed, pet food, and biodiesel industries.

Typical daily processing capacity

For this class of equipment, daily processing capacities commonly range from 50 to over 200 tons of raw material.

Batch boiler capacity

Units of this type typically feature batch boilers with capacities ranging from 3,000 kg to 12,000 kg or more per batch.

Output products

Commonly produces meat and bone meal (MBM), feather meal, blood meal, and rendered animal fats (tallow/grease).

Power supply

Rendering plants typically require a robust three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with significant power draw for motors and heating elements.

Footprint

A complete rendering plant requires a substantial industrial footprint, including areas for raw material reception, processing, product storage, and utilities.

Automation level

Modern rendering plants often feature PLC-based control systems for automated operation, as indicated by a 'new electrical/automation box'.

Food processing waste management systems are valued for their ability to handle organic waste streams efficiently and support regulatory compliance. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, reliability, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. The equipment's reputation centres on its importance for operational sanitation and waste reduction. When buying second-hand, inspectors should verify mechanical condition, check for corrosion or wear, and confirm documentation of regular servicing. Reputable systems typically demonstrate durability and consistent performance across varied food processing environments.
