Slaughterhouse & Abattoir
Screw press dewatering of slaughterhouse and abattoir wastewater sludge
Dewatering Slaughterhouse Sludge
Abattoir effluent carries blood, fat, paunch content and manure, producing one of the most challenging sludges in the food sector. The screw press handles its high fat and fibre content without the frequent blocking that plagues other technologies, running continuously through the slaughter shift.
With its closed design and washdown-friendly stainless construction, the press suits the strict hygiene and odour-control requirements of meat plants.
Typical Sludge & Process Parameters
