STORK Rendering plant - 60 tons/day

• Processing animal by-products from abattoirs and meat processing facilities.
• Converting poultry waste, including feathers and offal, into usable products.
• Handling fish processing waste to produce fishmeal and fish oil.
• Managing catering waste and expired food products for resource recovery.

Typical throughput

This class of plant is designed for continuous or batch processing, commonly handling upwards of 60 tonnes of raw material per day.

Key components

Rendering plants typically include batch or continuous cookers, presses for fat separation, milling equipment, and odour control systems.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a robust industrial electrical supply, typically 3-phase, with significant power consumption for heating and mechanical drives.

Output products

Common outputs include meat and bone meal, feather meal, blood meal, and rendered fats (tallow/grease).

Footprint

A complete rendering plant requires a substantial industrial footprint, encompassing processing areas, storage, and utility connections.

Automation

Modern rendering systems often feature integrated electrical and automation controls for efficient operation and process monitoring.

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.
