What equipment is needed for the production of meat and bone meal?

For a long time, everyone understood what to do waste recycling very profitable. This allows you to quickly get big profits at minimal cost. And the feedstock for work is always there. Take, for example, waste from the meat industry. From them you can cook a very interesting product - flour. The most important thing to do to organize such a business is to purchase equipment for the production of meat and bone meal. What is it and what kind of mechanisms are part of such a technological line?

Prerequisites for business

Before the bones of animals that remain after meat boning sent to glue factories. This was the only application that experts could find in the waste of the meat industry. Relatively recently, technologists have proposed another option. They developed a whole process, as a result of which it became possible to get a new product in the form of flour from unnecessary bones and tissue residues. In addition, it turned out that it is not only a profitable, but also a useful product. After all, meat and bone meal contains a huge amount of protein. She immediately aroused keen interest among farmers who are engaged in livestock raising. In addition, the large amount of phosphorus in such flour attracted the attention of farmland owners. Using it as a fertilizer, it is possible to enrich the soil, which leads to increased yields. The most important thing that the owner of such an enterprise needs is equipment for the production of meat and bone meal.

Now some enterprises produce entire production lines or mini-factories. Having the necessary funds, you can quickly arrange the entire production process. In addition, you will need to hire specialists who can service such equipment. This will solve half of all problems.

List of mechanisms

But, as it turned out, it is not at all necessary to acquire the entire line. If desired, equipment for the production of meat and bone meal can be independently selected individually. To do this, you must first study the technology well, and then prepare a list of all the machines and mechanisms that are directly involved in the process. The list will turn out to be small, since for such a production it is mainly required to have:

1. Waste shredder.
2. Metal bins for storing raw materials and finished products.
3. Centrifuge equipped with an integrated filter.
4. Screw conveyors for product movement.
5. Devices for drying.
6. Crusher.
7. The device for filling the product.

These mechanisms are quite common and often used in other industries, so it will not be difficult to purchase them. Having the funds, you can directly contact the manufacturers with a request for expedited delivery.

Issue price

Having determined the approximate list of machines, the first thing that interests an entrepreneurial owner is the cost of the equipment that he plans to purchase. Indeed, most of these enterprises arise as a result of lending to the state. In order to justify your expenses and show possible profits, you must first draw up a business plan. In it, a separate section will go on equipment costs. All figures should not be taken "from the ceiling", but from the price lists of manufacturing companies. But that is not all. For example, a production line costs about three and a half million rubles. This is not all the costs.It is clear that the equipment will need to be brought and installed in a room prepared for this. And this also requires funds. You will need to pay the transportation costs and labor of the assembly workers.

Let it be another two hundred and fifty thousand rubles. Taking into account other expenses and possible unforeseen expenses, the acquisition of the line will cost about four million rubles. After that, you can proceed to the rest of the calculations.

The main stages of production

The meat-and-bone meal production technology deserves special attention. The process itself is not overly complex. To obtain the finished product, it is necessary that the raw materials go through the following steps:

1. Shredding. Depending on the choice of the roller hole (from 50 to 1.5 millimeters) at the output, the mass can be particles of different sizes.
2. Next, the crushed raw materials go to the dryer. There it is steamed, as a result of which it is partially boiled and rendered harmless.
3. After that, the mass goes through a dissolution step. To do this, it is loaded through the pipeline into the tank and connected to the waste of dairy production, while heating to 60 degrees.
4. The mixture then goes to the homogenizer to normalize the fat.
5. After this, the mass is sent to a centrifuge, where it is divided into a solid and liquid fraction. The first goes to drying immediately, and the second gets there only after thickening in a vacuum apparatus.
6. At the last stage, the product is collected in a hopper, from where it enters the packaging.

This method is quite complicated, but there is also a simpler option. The raw materials are simply crushed and then crushed into dust. After that, the necessary additives are added to it. In any case, the choice is always up to the owner of the business.
