Making sure there is no water left in the input material is crucial prior to fat separation. This makes an effective cooker vital for any batch-based dry rendering process to operate profitably.

The Haarslev Batch Cooker is a straightforward, quickto-install unit that you can bring on line quickly for the cooking, pressure cooking, hydrolysis or drying of an exceptional range of animal and poultry by-products. These include mixed meat offal and bones, poultry offal and wet feathers.

It can operate at the 133°C temperatures important for sterilization, and is ideal for smaller-batch processing of particularly large particles (up to 50mm) – which helps cut back on pre-cooking crushing requirements.

Furthermore, this solidly engineered, well-proven cooker can operate under pressures of up to 5 bar, ensuring your processing setup complies with the 2009/2011 EU Animal By-products Directive and can even process inputs containing hair, wool or feathers, for use in pet food.
