Definitions
- This invention relates to a low temperature rendering process for separating animal or vegetable raw material into a fat fraction and at least one protein fraction comprising reducing the particle size of the raw material, then feeding the reduced raw material into a rendering vessel, feeding into the rendering vessel recycled tallow and heating the raw material and tallow within the rendering vessel, and moving a flow of the heated material from the rendering vessel into a separator for phase separation.
- This invention further relates to a plant for the low temperature rendering of animal or vegetable raw material into a fat fraction and at least one protein fraction comprising means for comminuting raw material, a non-pressurized rendering vessel into which comminuted raw material can be placed, separating means for separating the feed stream into several phases, means for recycling tallow to the rendering vessel, heating means for heating a mixture of raw material and recycle tallow in the vessel, agitating means within the rendering vessel.
- the aforementioned materials generally contain two or all of the following phases: fat, fat-free solids, and water.
- the phases after rendering are a liquid phase which consists essentially of fats and oils and a solid phase which consists essentially of meat and bone meal.
- the solid phase is usually high in protein and processed into animal feed.
- the liquid phase is separated into tallow and waste process water.
- Rendering of animal tissues by heat is carried out presently by two types of processes: dry rendering high temperature (135°C) and low temperature (70-100°C) wet rendering.
- the low temperature rendering systems include: the traditional 'digester' type direct steam injection process which produces high losses of product in the stick-water; the Pfaudler process (US-A-3,519,662) and the Alfa-Laval "Centritherm' and 'Centribone' process. (NZ Patent Specification 186,249).
- the latter processes are generally regarded as 'wet rendering' as water is introduced into the raw material and live steam is directly injected into the raw material.
- US-A-3,345,353 describes an apparatus and a method of continuously recovering protein from fatty animal material wherein the raw material is comminuted to a very fine size of particles and the prepared and preheated raw material is fed to a mixing and balancing container provided with a stirring member.
- the output of the mixing and balancing container is fed to a centrifuge from which the liquid phase is led to a heating apparatus where the fat can be heated to a suitably high temperature of 70°C to 120°C. This hot fat is then re-fed to the mixing and balancing container where it is intimately mixed with the raw material contained therein.
- the medium temperature of the mixture itself should be in the range of 40°C to 50°C and is intended to be lower than 44°C or even 41 °C.
- a process according to the US-A-3,345,353 cannot be used for all purposes because the protein fraction of the products has a rather high fat content in the range of 12% to 19%. Such a high fat content, however, is not acceptable in a commercial process.
- FR-B-1,062,003 describes an apparatus and a process wherein the raw material is fed by a pump to a rendering vessel which is heated by means of a heating device having a series of tubes mounted parallel to each other. In this process care has to be taken not to exceed a maximum temperature of 70°C.
- the materials treated in the rendering vessel are then fed to a pending centrifuge followed by a further oil centrifuge. Therefore, only a one way treatment of the materials takes place without any recycling of tallow to the rendering vessel.
- the temperature is rather low and the range is not higher than 70°C. Moreover, no fluidization of the medium within the rendering vessel takes place.
- the object underlying the invention is to provide a low temperature rendering process and a plant for the low temperature rendering of animal or vegetable raw material allowing the production of tallows and meals of especially high quality.
- the solution according to the invention resides in that the heating is achieved by using heat exchange means and bringing the medium to be treated to a temperature which is in the range of 75°C to 100°C without adding extra water or steam and in that the reduced raw material is subjected to particulate fluidization within the medium of the tallow within the rendering vessel.
- recycle tallow having a water content of approximately 2% to 10% is fed to the rendering vessel.
- This recycle tallow can be fed directly from the separator to the rendering vessel or the tallow phase from the separator is subjected to a further separation step following which a polished portion thereof is recycled to the rendering vessel.
- the residence time of the raw material and tallow in the rendering vessel is in the range of substantially 2 to 10 minutes.
- the viscosity of the raw material and tallow in the rendering vessel is monitored and the ratio of raw material entering the vessel and the rate of addition of recycle tallow is controlled to ensure that complete fluidization of the raw material within the medium of the tallow is continuously maintained.
- the ratio of tallow to raw material is in the range of 0.3/1.0 to 3.0/1.0.
- the raw material is comminuted to a particle size in the range of substantially 12 mm to 18 mm.
- acid is added to the raw material prior to being comminuted.
- the raw material is acidified to a pH value of 3.8 to 4.5.
- the acid can be anyone or a combination of acids selected from hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, citric, tannic, oxalic, tartaric, acetic, malic, formic, benzoic and lactic acids and their water soluble salts.
- the resultant stickwater from the separator can be ultrafiltered to recover solids and fat.
- the plant according to the invention is characterized by overflow means connecting the rendering vessel to the separating means for feeding rendered material, heat exchanger means for heating the mixture without adding extra water or steam, sensing means and control means to monitor and control the viscosity of raw material and tallow in the vessel, the construction and arrangement being such that the raw material and tallow mixture within the rendering vessel is subjected to particulate fluidization whereby rendered material can flow through the overflow means.
- the heat exchanger means is in the form of a vertical coil or pipes within the vessel which act as baffles and turbine propeller type means are attached to the agitating means.
- the sensing means sense the current drawn by an electrically powered prime mover of the agitating means and the control means control the ratio of raw material entering the vessel and the rate of addition of recycle tallow for reducing the viscosity in the rendering vessel to ensure satisfactory fluidization.
- the separating means is a three phase co-current or countercurrent decanter centrifuge or a two phase decanter centrifuge.
- the raw material which when derived from slaughter houses, packing houses and the like may include fat and oil bearing animal material being tissue, muscle, hide, blood, bone, viscera, offal and the like is fed into a storage bin 1 or directly into a grinder.
- the plant consists of a raw material holding bin 1 which stores pre-broken raw material of approximately 50 mmx50 mm.
- a spray nozzle or any other suitable device or method acid is added to the pre-broken raw material in order to preserve the raw material, reduce odour and to contain the free fatty acid content of the tallow produced.
- the pre-broken material passes from holding bin 1 through a metal detector 2 and into a grinder 3, which grinds the raw material through a grinding plate of approximately 18 mm or 12 mm hole size. If required, further acid addition can be carried out at this grinding stage.
- the ground acidified material is passed on to a hopper 4 and is pumped by a suitable pump 5 to a rendering vessel 6.
- the preferred rendering vessel is a tall non-pressurized cylindrical vessel with a heating apparatus in the form of a vertical coil or vertical pipe and an agitator 7.
- the vertical heating apparatus acts as baffles.
- Turbine propeller type impellers (not shown) are attached to the agitator 7.
- Recycle tallow 14 is heated in a heat exchanger 13 in the range of 80°C to 150°C and pumped into the rendering vessel 6 at a specific tallow/raw material ratio.
- the temperature in the rendering vessel is controlled in the preferred range 75°C to 95°C.
- the rendered material passes by gravity or is pumped into a three phase co-current decanter centrifuge 9 which separates the feed stream into: A solids phase 10 with approximately 50-70% water and 6-9% fat; a stickwater phase 11 with approximately 2-3% total solids and 0.04-0.20% fat; and a tallow phase 12 with approximately 2-10% water.
- the solids phase 10 is sterilized if required and dried in a dryer to produce a meal with a residual fat content of 6-9% and 6-10% moisture.
- the stickwater phase 11 is either dumped to waste or the solids and fat in this stream are recovered by ultrafiltration.
- Part of tallow phase 12 is recycled as recycle tallow 14 and the other 'part is polished through a disc- type centrifugal separator and .'stored'. as polished tallow 16.
- the acid used in the process to preserve the raw material can be any acidic substance which includes the following acids:
- Conveying of material to and from individual processing equipment can be by means of either pump, screw conveyors, belt conveyors, pneumatic conveyors or chutes.
- the rendering vessel 6 in addition to the vertical heating apparatus, can be fitted with a heating jacket or a horizontal pan-cake type coil to provide extra heat transfer area.
- a three phase countercurrent decanter centrifuge or a two phase decanter centrifuge can be used.
- the tallow to raw material ratio (T:RM) varies with the type of raw material; for bone/beef trim- mings/soft guts mixture with approximately 50-65% water the T:RM is 0.3 to 0.5. With beef trimmings only the T:RM is 0.5 to 1.0 and with bone only the T:RM is 2.0 to 3.0. If required the recycle tallow 14 stream can be derived from the polished tallow 16 stream.
- the residence time in the rendering vessel is in the range of approximately 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
- Heating in the rendering vessel 6 and heat exchanger 13 can be carried out by steam or any other suitable heat transfer fluid.
- Sterilization of the solids phase 10 is carried out in a pressure vessel and drying is carried out in one of the following type driers: direct fired rotary drier, batch or continuous dry rendering cooker, ring drier, fluidized bed or spouted drier, jet drier.

Description
- This invention relates to a low temperature rendering process for separating animal or vegetable raw material into a fat fraction and at least one protein fraction comprising reducing the particle size of the raw material, then feeding the reduced raw material into a rendering vessel, feeding into the rendering vessel recycled tallow and heating the raw material and tallow within the rendering vessel, and moving a flow of the heated material from the rendering vessel into a separator for phase separation.
- This invention further relates to a plant for the low temperature rendering of animal or vegetable raw material into a fat fraction and at least one protein fraction comprising means for comminuting raw material, a non-pressurized rendering vessel into which comminuted raw material can be placed, separating means for separating the feed stream into several phases, means for recycling tallow to the rendering vessel, heating means for heating a mixture of raw material and recycle tallow in the vessel, agitating means within the rendering vessel.
- The aforementioned materials generally contain two or all of the following phases: fat, fat-free solids, and water. In the case of animal byproducts, for example material from slaughter houses, packing houses and the like such as a mixture of beef and mutton offal, the phases after rendering are a liquid phase which consists essentially of fats and oils and a solid phase which consists essentially of meat and bone meal. The solid phase is usually high in protein and processed into animal feed. The liquid phase is separated into tallow and waste process water.
- Rendering of animal tissues by heat is carried out presently by two types of processes: dry rendering high temperature (135°C) and low temperature (70-100°C) wet rendering.
- In dry rendering, the raw material is heated, separated into the tallow, fat-free solid and water phases and dried in the same operation. This process suffers from several drawbacks: 10-15% residual fat in meal; raw material must be washed thoroughly to ensure that the tallow products is of premium grade; the nutritive value of the meal is downgraded by the high temperature of the process; the process required high grade steam and has a higher energy consumption compared with low temperature rendering systems.
- The low temperature rendering systems include: the traditional 'digester' type direct steam injection process which produces high losses of product in the stick-water; the Pfaudler process (US-A-3,519,662) and the Alfa-Laval "Centritherm' and 'Centribone' process. (NZ Patent Specification 186,249). The latter processes are generally regarded as 'wet rendering' as water is introduced into the raw material and live steam is directly injected into the raw material.
- The use of steam requires that the processing plant has a facility to raise process steam. In addition the injection of live steam or extra water into the flow of raw material increases the amount of process water and can lead to a high B.O.D. level in the process water so that further separation must take place before the process water can be released into existing sewers and effluent treatment plants.
- US-A-3,345,353 describes an apparatus and a method of continuously recovering protein from fatty animal material wherein the raw material is comminuted to a very fine size of particles and the prepared and preheated raw material is fed to a mixing and balancing container provided with a stirring member. The output of the mixing and balancing container is fed to a centrifuge from which the liquid phase is led to a heating apparatus where the fat can be heated to a suitably high temperature of 70°C to 120°C. This hot fat is then re-fed to the mixing and balancing container where it is intimately mixed with the raw material contained therein. In this way it is intended to heat the raw material instantaneously by mixing it with the hot fat added to the contents in the container wherein the medium temperature of the mixture itself should be in the range of 40°C to 50°C and is intended to be lower than 44°C or even 41 °C.
- It is essential, however, for the process according to US-A-3,345,353 that the temperature limit of about 44°C is not exceeded, that the heating of the raw material is made directly through the addition of hot and recycled fat, and that an intimate mixing of the hot fat and the raw material is carried out in the container using a stirring means rotating with a relatively high speed.
- A process according to the US-A-3,345,353 cannot be used for all purposes because the protein fraction of the products has a rather high fat content in the range of 12% to 19%. Such a high fat content, however, is not acceptable in a commercial process.
- FR-B-1,062,003 describes an apparatus and a process wherein the raw material is fed by a pump to a rendering vessel which is heated by means of a heating device having a series of tubes mounted parallel to each other. In this process care has to be taken not to exceed a maximum temperature of 70°C. The materials treated in the rendering vessel are then fed to a pending centrifuge followed by a further oil centrifuge. Therefore, only a one way treatment of the materials takes place without any recycling of tallow to the rendering vessel. The temperature is rather low and the range is not higher than 70°C. Moreover, no fluidization of the medium within the rendering vessel takes place.
- The object underlying the invention is to provide a low temperature rendering process and a plant for the low temperature rendering of animal or vegetable raw material allowing the production of tallows and meals of especially high quality.
- The solution according to the invention resides in that the heating is achieved by using heat exchange means and bringing the medium to be treated to a temperature which is in the range of 75°C to 100°C without adding extra water or steam and in that the reduced raw material is subjected to particulate fluidization within the medium of the tallow within the rendering vessel.
- Preferably recycle tallow having a water content of approximately 2% to 10% is fed to the rendering vessel. This recycle tallow can be fed directly from the separator to the rendering vessel or the tallow phase from the separator is subjected to a further separation step following which a polished portion thereof is recycled to the rendering vessel.
- The residence time of the raw material and tallow in the rendering vessel is in the range of substantially 2 to 10 minutes. In carrying out the process the viscosity of the raw material and tallow in the rendering vessel is monitored and the ratio of raw material entering the vessel and the rate of addition of recycle tallow is controlled to ensure that complete fluidization of the raw material within the medium of the tallow is continuously maintained.
- In one embodiment of the invention the ratio of tallow to raw material is in the range of 0.3/1.0 to 3.0/1.0. The raw material is comminuted to a particle size in the range of substantially 12 mm to 18 mm.
- In a preferred form of the invention, acid is added to the raw material prior to being comminuted. The raw material is acidified to a pH value of 3.8 to 4.5. The acid can be anyone or a combination of acids selected from hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, citric, tannic, oxalic, tartaric, acetic, malic, formic, benzoic and lactic acids and their water soluble salts. The resultant stickwater from the separator can be ultrafiltered to recover solids and fat.
- The plant according to the invention is characterized by overflow means connecting the rendering vessel to the separating means for feeding rendered material, heat exchanger means for heating the mixture without adding extra water or steam, sensing means and control means to monitor and control the viscosity of raw material and tallow in the vessel, the construction and arrangement being such that the raw material and tallow mixture within the rendering vessel is subjected to particulate fluidization whereby rendered material can flow through the overflow means.
- In one embodiment of the invention the heat exchanger means is in the form of a vertical coil or pipes within the vessel which act as baffles and turbine propeller type means are attached to the agitating means.
- Preferably the sensing means sense the current drawn by an electrically powered prime mover of the agitating means and the control means control the ratio of raw material entering the vessel and the rate of addition of recycle tallow for reducing the viscosity in the rendering vessel to ensure satisfactory fluidization.
- In the plant according to the invention the separating means is a three phase co-current or countercurrent decanter centrifuge or a two phase decanter centrifuge.
- To more fully describe the invention reference will be made to the accompanying drawing which is a schematic flow diagram of one form of the apparatus by which the process of the present invention can be carried out. The raw material which when derived from slaughter houses, packing houses and the like may include fat and oil bearing animal material being tissue, muscle, hide, blood, bone, viscera, offal and the like is fed into a storage bin 1 or directly into a grinder.
- In the preferred form of the invention, the plant consists of a raw material holding bin 1 which stores pre-broken raw material of approximately 50 mmx50 mm. By means of a spray nozzle or any other suitable device or method, acid is added to the pre-broken raw material in order to preserve the raw material, reduce odour and to contain the free fatty acid content of the tallow produced. The pre-broken material passes from holding bin 1 through a metal detector 2 and into a grinder 3, which grinds the raw material through a grinding plate of approximately 18 mm or 12 mm hole size. If required, further acid addition can be carried out at this grinding stage. The ground acidified material is passed on to a hopper 4 and is pumped by a suitable pump 5 to a
rendering vessel 6. - The preferred rendering vessel is a tall non-pressurized cylindrical vessel with a heating apparatus in the form of a vertical coil or vertical pipe and an
agitator 7. The vertical heating apparatus acts as baffles. Turbine propeller type impellers (not shown) are attached to theagitator 7. -
Recycle tallow 14 is heated in aheat exchanger 13 in the range of 80°C to 150°C and pumped into the renderingvessel 6 at a specific tallow/raw material ratio. The temperature in the rendering vessel is controlled in the preferred range 75°C to 95°C. By means of an overflow pipe 8 the rendered material passes by gravity or is pumped into a three phase co-current decanter centrifuge 9 which separates the feed stream into: Asolids phase 10 with approximately 50-70% water and 6-9% fat; astickwater phase 11 with approximately 2-3% total solids and 0.04-0.20% fat; and atallow phase 12 with approximately 2-10% water. - The
solids phase 10 is sterilized if required and dried in a dryer to produce a meal with a residual fat content of 6-9% and 6-10% moisture. Thestickwater phase 11 is either dumped to waste or the solids and fat in this stream are recovered by ultrafiltration. Part oftallow phase 12 is recycled as recycletallow 14 and the other 'part is polished through a disc- type centrifugal separator and .'stored'. as polishedtallow 16. - The acid used in the process to preserve the raw material can be any acidic substance which includes the following acids:
- Hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, citric, tannic, oxalic, tartaric, acetic, malic, formic, benzoic, lactic and their water soluble salts. The pH of the raw material by acid addition is adjusted to 3.8 to 4.5. The addition of acid for preservation consequently has a beneficial effect on the separation of the fat in the three phase decanter 9; the fat and protein in the stickwater phase is minimized.
- Conveying of material to and from individual processing equipment can be by means of either pump, screw conveyors, belt conveyors, pneumatic conveyors or chutes.
- The
rendering vessel 6 in addition to the vertical heating apparatus, can be fitted with a heating jacket or a horizontal pan-cake type coil to provide extra heat transfer area. - Instead of the three phase co-current decanter centrifuge a three phase countercurrent decanter centrifuge or a two phase decanter centrifuge can be used.
- The tallow to raw material ratio (T:RM) varies with the type of raw material; for bone/beef trim- mings/soft guts mixture with approximately 50-65% water the T:RM is 0.3 to 0.5. With beef trimmings only the T:RM is 0.5 to 1.0 and with bone only the T:RM is 2.0 to 3.0. If required the
recycle tallow 14 stream can be derived from thepolished tallow 16 stream. - The residence time in the rendering vessel is in the range of approximately 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
- Heating in the
rendering vessel 6 andheat exchanger 13 can be carried out by steam or any other suitable heat transfer fluid. - Sterilization of the
solids phase 10 is carried out in a pressure vessel and drying is carried out in one of the following type driers: direct fired rotary drier, batch or continuous dry rendering cooker, ring drier, fluidized bed or spouted drier, jet drier. - Instead of drying the
solids phase 10, the material can by itself or mixed with other ingredients, be canned frozen or dehydrated to produce a foodstuff for humans or pets. - Control of the rendering process is achieved by sensing the current drawn by the agitator which is indicative of the viscosity of the material in the
rendering vessel 6. When the viscosity in the vessel becomes too high for satisfactory fluidization, mixing and heat transfer in the rendering vessel, control means shut off or reduce the rate of the raw material being pumped and increase the tallow rate in order to reduce the viscosity in the rendering vessel. - The plant is illustrated-further by the following examples giving operational data:
- 5000 kg/h of beef/mutton mixed offal was rendered with 2500 kg/h of recycle tallow phase (ex-three phase decanter). The products from the three phase decanter centrifuge were 2200 kg/h of solids phase with 65% water and 7-5% fat (dry basis); 3300 kg/h of tallow phase with 2% water and 3% fat-free solids and 2000 kg/h of stickwater with 2.8% total solids and 0.06% fat. The free fatty acid content of the tallow produced was 0.6% and the bleachability of the tallow was 0.2 Red. The steam consumption was 0.14 kg of steam per kg of raw material.
- 3000 kg/h of beef trimmings and mutton soft offal were rendered with 1500 kg/h of polished recycled tallow. The products from the three phase decanter centrifuge were 855 kg/h of solids phase with 69% water and 7% fat (dry basis); 2565 kg/h of tallow phase with 1% fat-free solids; 1080 kg/h of stickwater with 2.3% total solids and 0.40% fat. The free fatty acid content of the tallow produced was 0.5% and the bleachability of the tallow was 0.3 Red. The steam consumption was 0.12 kg of steam per kg of raw material.
- The invention thus provides a rendering process in which the amount of material lost in process water is reduced. No water or steam is introduced into the rendering process in contrast to known rendering processes. A good level of separation is achieved by use of the three phase decanter after the material has been heated in the rendering vessel.
- The process can be carried out in a plant which does not need to have any facility to raise process steam for the purpose of supplying heat to the
rendering vessel 6. As disclosedrendering vessel 6 is heated by heat transfer means. The rendering process is carried out at temperatures below 100°C which due to lack of thermal degradation results in the production of high quality tallows and meals.
