Screen Compactors for Poultry

Description and Working Principle

This unit has been developed for dewatering feathers from poultry processing. 
At the end of the process, which generally uses a great amount of water, rejects from the plucking department end up in an effluent stream.

Because of the composition and the dimensions of chicken or turkey feathers and, in some cases, the requirement for re-use, these rejects must be separated before entering a waste water treatment plant.

The Screen Compactor having 0.5 mm mesh size manages to screen feathers, consuming considerably less energy than any traditional system.
