Fat handling

Fat handling

In the fat handling section the solids are further separated from the fats. This will result in a more valuable fat.

Fat handling methods

We can offer two fat handling methods; settling or decanting. The choice between these fat-handling methods is an economical one. Where decanting can achieve lower residual solid content in the fat.

By settling:

1. The fats are pumped from the drain and the Fat Press directly into the Settling tanks.
2. With settling it can take up to 24 hours for the solids (sediment) to drop to the bottom before the fat will be clean.
3. The solids will be transported back to the Fat Press for further processing.
4. The clean fats will be pumped to a fat storage tank before it is transported to the end user (feed mill, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, oil industry etc.).

By batch decanting:

1. The fats are pumped from the drain and the Fat Press directly into an agitated steam heated holding tank.
2. From this tank the fat is pumped into the Circulating vibrating screen(optional) for the preseparation of solids.
3. From the screen the fat is pumped into the decanter/ centrifuge
were final separation will take place.
4. The solids from the circulating vibrating screen and the decanter/ centrifuge will be transported back to the Fat Press for further processing.
5. The clean fats will be pumped to a fat storage tank before it is transported to the end user (feed mill, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, oil industry etc.).

By continue decanting:

1. The fats are pumped from the drain and the Fat Press directly into the Sedimentor were the first separation of solids will take place.
2. From the Sedimentor the fat is pumped into the Circulating vibrating screen(optional) for the pre-separation of solids
3. From the screen the fat is pumped into the decanter/ centrifuge
were final separation will take place.
4. The solids from the sedimentor, circulating vibrating screen and decanter/ centrifuge will be transported back to the Fat Press for further processing.
5. The clean fats will be pumped to a fat storage tank before it is transported to the end user (feed mill, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, oil industry etc.).
