RENDERING PRE BREAKER

MODEL: PB6 PRE BREAKER

OVERVIEW:
The PB6 Pre Breaker is a heavy duty machine designed for rapid size reduction of whole fallen animals,
condemned carcasses, green bone etc. and similar materials in the rendering industry.

RENDERING GUT CUTTER

MODEL: GC3 GUT CUTTER

OVERVIEW:
The GC3 Gut Cutter is a heavy duty machine designed to rapidly reduce the size of soft offals and similar
materials in the rendering industry, they are also extensively used in the commercial fishing industry.
The cutting edges inside the machine are aligned to a very close tolerance, providing a clean sharp cut
rather than a shearing action used in other similar machines. The shearing action of similar machines is
not suited for use on soft materials.
GC3 Gut cutters can be supplied as bareshaft machines (as per image this page) or as a complete turnkey

MODEL: NO5 MELTER

OVERVIEW:
The No5 Melter is a heavy duty machine designed to rapidly cook all forms of rendered material. It has
also successfully been used in other industries for various drying operations. The No5 Melter has both a
Steam heated shaft and a Steam heated jacket, for maximum efficiency. Jackets are normally lagged with
50mm of insulation after machine installation.
The No5 Melter has the advantage over continuous cooker style units, in that as a closed vessel, pressure
can be built up during the cook cycle which speeds the cooking process. Continuous cookers normally
only operate at atmospheric pressure.

APPLICATIONS:
Rendering Cooking
Rendering Drying
Blood Drying
Fish Meal

KEY FEATURES:
Processing capacity of up to 2,500kg per cycle, typical cycle lasts 2 hours
Cooking cycle is undertaken at 275kPa vastly increasing cook speed
Built to PD5500 pressure vessel specification, all vessels approved by SGS M&I

No5 Melter steam heated shaft, steam reaches all extremities.

TYPICAL OPERATING SEQUENCE:

1. Charge Cycle up to 2,500kg of material is loaded into the charge hopper (typ. 5 minutes)
2. Cooking Cycle material is heated, moisture extracted at atmospheric pressure (typ. 30 minutes)
3. Pressure Cycle venting valves are closed, pressure is built up (275kPa) to speed cooking cycle
(typ. 30 minutes to build, and held for a further 30 minutes)
4. Venting Cycle after cycle is complete, pressure released in a controlled manner (typ. 5 minutes)
5. Discharge Cycle shaft is reversed and discharge door opened to release product (typ. 5 minutes)
