Poultry By-Product Rendering Plant Equipment

Efficient Poultry By-Product Processing Solution

Chicken Rendering Plant is designed to convert poultry slaughterhouse by-products into valuable protein meals and poultry fat through a safe, hygienic, and environmentally friendly process.

The system is suitable for processing feathers, blood, heads, feet, offal, trimming waste, condemned carcasses, and other poultry by-products generated during chicken slaughtering operations.

By utilizing advanced rendering technology, poultry processors can significantly reduce waste disposal costs, improve biosecurity, comply with environmental regulations, and create additional revenue streams from recovered products.

Raw Materials

The rendering plant can process:

• Chicken feathers

• Blood

• Heads and feet

• Internal organs and offal

• Fat trimming waste

• Condemned carcasses

• Dead birds

• Poultry processing residues

Final Products:

Depending on the selected process configuration, the rendering plant can produce:

• Poultry By-Product Meal (PBM): High-protein meal produced from poultry offal and processing waste.

• Feather Meal: Protein-rich feed ingredient produced through feather hydrolysis.

• Blood Meal: High-protein product obtained from collected blood.

• Poultry Fat: Recovered oil suitable for feed, biodiesel, and industrial applications.

Process Flow:

Raw Material Collection → Crushing / Size Reduction → Cooking & Sterilization → Pressing / Fat Separation → Drying → Cooling → Grinding → Storage & Packaging

Main Equipment Configuration:

1. Raw Material Receiving Hopper: Designed for temporary storage and controlled feeding of poultry by-products.

2. Screw Conveyor System: Provides fully enclosed transportation to ensure sanitary operation and odor control.

3. Crusher / Shredder: Reduces material size and improves cooking efficiency.

4. Continuous Cooker: Performs thermal sterilization, moisture reduction, and fat release.

5. Feather Hydrolyzer: Specially designed pressure vessel for feather processing and keratin hydrolysis.

6. Screw Press: Separates solid and liquid fractions after cooking.

7. Decanter Centrifuge: Recovers poultry fat and improves product quality.

8. Fat Purification System: Removes impurities and moisture from recovered poultry oil.

9. Dryer: Reduces moisture content to meet storage and quality requirements.

10. Cooler: Improves product stability and prevents caking.

11. Hammer Mill: Produces uniform meal particle size.

12. Automatic Packaging System: Supports efficient weighing, bagging, and storage.

13. Odor Treatment System: Includes condensers, scrubbers, and biofilters for environmental compliance.
