Innovative paunch transfer and dewatering processing (stage 1)
04 May 2021
Focus area: Waste valorisation and circular economy
Program stream: Industry excellence
Project number: 2020-1074
The project aimed to remove the costly, and inflexible deployment of screw conveyors and augers that industry currently use for paunch transfer.
This project investigated several OEM components used by other industries which led to the selection of two components, a peristaltic pump and FAN separator, to build a system that could transfer paunch to an appropriate position in a wet form with subsequent drying.
The project delivered further opportunities for a permanent solution including the integration of additional processes and improving the plant’s effluent management.
