Rendering Plant:

 

• Complete dry rendering plant designed and manufactured by Meyn
• Allows profitable recovery of protein by processing the normally inedible waste products resulting from the slaughter of broilers.
• Raw materials include offal, wet feathers, blood, heads, feet and dead on arrivals processed in natural proportions to achieve a uniform mixed protein meal
• Raw materials will be sterilized, hydrolyzed, and dried in a cooker-drier to produce a mixed meal that can be used as part of the protein and energy source in the formulation of broiler feed rations.
• Rendering plant has been sized to process the inedible waste products in natural proportions resulting from the slaughter of 28.800 broilers per day, 6 hours of per day at an average live weight of 1.6 kg. This results in the following daily available quantities of raw materials:

	Plant capacity
