Slaughterhouse Waste
AS2000 shreds poultry, bone, offal and whole cattle, horses or pigs in about 20 seconds.
Slaughterhouse (abattoir) waste is a major environmental challenge. Beneficial routes include biogas, fertilizer and animal feed; anaerobic digestion yields energy-rich biogas and cuts greenhouse gases. Size reduction before pasteurization makes the process easier and more efficient.
TIMO shredders handle 2–25 t/day with 10–15 mm output. Special seals cope with bones and whole carcasses. AS2000 is built for complete cattle, horse and pig carcasses plus offal and bones, ahead of rendering. A whole animal in about 20 seconds; capacity 7–10 t/hr. It is installed as the first stage of a rendering plant, before crushers and mincers. Rotor and stator knives are hard-faced; motor size and shaft speed are matched to capacity.
Features include automatic reverse on overload, labyrinth + conventional bearing seals, a mesh cage around the base (three sides permanent, one door with safety switch), IP65 stainless cabinet, NSK tapered rollers, hexagonal shafts, a maintenance platform, and a W1200×L2600 mm hopper with W650×L2000 mm chamber — large enough for a whole carcass. 37 kW motor and high-strength cast sideboards.
