The use of animal by-products in everyday products requires efficient, compliant, hygienic rendering plants that utilise animal waste products to ensure as much of the animal is used as possible.

The equipment used in rendering plants is highly technical and workers quality training in order to operate equipment and complete the rendering process to a high standard. The quality of the finished product is important as it will determine whether the rendered product is edible or non-edible and usable or non-useable in the industry.

A rendering plant operating at maximum efficiency should be able to turn what would otherwise be wasted offcuts into profitable products. By-product rendering is an efficient way to recycle and reduce wastage from slaughter houses and meat packing factories. Environmentally friendly equipment is purpose built to minimise the release of offensive odors into the air and uses either wet or dry rendering processes to produce by-products that can be used in anything from pet food to plastics to human food or medications. 

Rendering plants utilise the following equipment to achieve a highly desirable end product:

• Preparation equipment for particle size reduction, cooking and conditioning and steam generation. 

• Extraction equipment for mechanical extraction

• Blood coagulation equipment for separation, material handling, cooling and drying

• Feather Hydrolyzing equipment

• Crude Fat Post-Extraction Equipment

• Cake/Meal & Fat/Oil Handling Equipment

Every piece of equipment and machinery used in rendering requires a highly trained workforce for optimum safety, efficiency and a high level of productivity.
