Screw Compactors for Slaughter Houses / Abattoirs
Description and Working Principle
One step during cattle slaughtering is the opening of the paunch weighing about 40 kg. Since they can be used as fertilizer, paunch contents need to be compacted to a dry solids content of approximately 30%.
The Screw Compactor, consists of a screw compactor unit additionally equipped with special counterweights and an extra-trough section at material discharge. The compactor is usually fed via a special hopper for reception of pneumatically conveyed material.
