Dewatering & Drying of other rest raw materials

Energy efficient - High performance - Long-lasting durability  

Organic waste drying

Many different industrial processes produce residual raw material which is typically sorted as waste or sold for a cheap price. Organic waste in particular can be of great value if it is processed quickly and correctly.

Examples are shell fractions from shellfish, waste from food production, farmed or harvested algae and seaweed, or faeces and feed residues from the aquaculture and livestock.

Dewatering and drying using Disc Dryer

Key to preserving the value in the residual raw material and obtain a marketable product being storage-stable and with retained nutrients are

  • to process it quickly and gently
  • maintain temperature under control
  • water removal to < 10%
  • combined heat treatment (to kill micro organisms).

Our Fjell Turbo Disc Dryer system provides an energy efifcient and high performance solution that ticks off all the boxes.

Patented energy saving solutions for rendering plants

Fjell Technology Group has patented several process designs that can achieve up to 40% energy saving compared to conventional meat rendering plants.

The patented, and unique Fjell Turbo Disc dryer is the corner stone of a Fjell meat and poultry rendering plant. Although introduced, and in operation, for more than two decades, the Fjell Turbo disc dryer has never experienced steam leakages.

Fjell patented energy saving solutions

Let us help navigate your value circle

  • Our extensive expertise and large selection of dewatering and drying technologies ensures that your residual raw material is taken care of and becomes storage-stable and ready to enter a new value chain.
  • We offer decanter centrifuges or screw presses for purpose of dewatering,
  • For drying, we use our unique Turbo Disc Dryer, or our compact Thermo Mechanical Dryer (TMD) for industrial residual products that are insensitive to high heat or shear forces.

We always offer solutions with resulting in the lowest energy consumption, high degree of automation, world-class performance, resulting in high good product quality.

Explore our test facilities

We drive innovation and growth to enable optimal utilisation of residual raw materials while minimising the energy consumption. Our test facilities has demonstrated drying of various materials at a range of conditions, also vacuum conditions to lower temperature, thereby maintaining protein or nitrogen and other valuable nutrients and components for further use.
