Thursday, 06 September, 2007
Cargill Beef Australia began screening meat meal at its Tamworth plant using the largest circular vibratory screen separator manufactured in Australia, according to Tim Mellor, sales and product manager for Rendertech of Mornington, licensee of Kason Corporation.
The screener is a stainless steel 2134 mm diameter Kason Vibroscreen model K84-1-SS equipped with a 2.2 kW unbalanced weight gyratory motor, stainless steel screen with 2.2 mm apertures, ball tray anti-blinding device and dust cover.
According to Bruce Collier, Cargill's rendering supervisor, the unit has a throughput of 2 to 3.5 tonnes of meat meal per hour and is installed adjacent to a 1524 mm Kason Vibroscreen model K60-1-SS that screens fines from tallow. Installed in September 2005, the smaller unit is equipped with a 0.42 mm aperture screen, Kleen Screen anti-blinding rings, splash cover and 1.85 kW gyratory motor.
