RENDERING EQUIPMENT

Drainer Conveyor

Drainer Conveyor

In rendering, drainer conveyors (sometimes called percolators) are a critical but often overlooked component of process performance. Positioned between the cooker and the press, their role is to remove free liquid from cooked material before pressing.

Without removal, excess liquid can reduce screw press efficiency, increase downstream load, and negatively impact fat recovery and meal consistency in both low-temperature and high-temperature rendering systems.

Our 4th-generation drainer conveyor builds on 35 years of rendering experience. We custom-build each unit to suit the installation, the material being processed, and the plant around it.

FEATURES & BENEFITS 

Maximum drainage
Full 360° screens drain free liquid around the whole conveyor, removing as much as possible before the press.

Clean without stopping
Full access to the screens allows your team to clean them without halting processing – protecting throughput and uptime.

Built to last
Stainless-steel construction stands up to the rendering environment and keeps maintenance low.

Easy screen replacement
We’ve designed the drainer so screens can be swapped out quickly when they reach end of life, reducing downtime.
