Thanks for the all good ideas. I will discuss it with my client.

I would think that the best way to control "gross solids" would be some kind of screening device at the source tannery plant. My favorites, because of simple and low-cost operation are either a parabolic inclined screen or rotary drum screen. We used Hycor rotostrainers very effectively at Star-Kist Foods. I've seen the inclined screens also used where appropriate. I am a firm believer in "getting the big stuff out" of the system as early as possible. Grinding it into smaller bits just makes the job more difficult. Hopefully, there is a nearby facility that can render the material captured.

Grinders are installed at both types - fish processing and slaughterhouses.

If you wish please feel free to email me at the email address below and I can provide more details.

This conversation is best carried out off of the board.

Thanks, Alec

No worries David - I'm happy to edit the post to comply with the editorial standards. How does this work for you?

Larger dual-shafted sewage grinders are used in select slaughterhouse applications.

I have question from a leather tannery plant. The waste is meat slice. Do you have a case study for meat (not fish), because it is very tough & fibrous as mentioned. Also for the maintenance schedule, parts, etc ? Thank you.
