Cargill Beef Australia began screening meat meal at its Tamworth plant using the largest circular vibratory screen separator manufactured in Australia, according to Tim Mellor, sales & product manager for Rendertech Ltd. of Mornington, Victoria, licensee of Kason Corporation.

The screener is a stainless steel 2134 mm diameter Kason Vibroscreen model K84-1-SS equipped with a 2.2 kW unbalanced weight gyratory motor, stainless steel screen with 2.2 mm apertures, ball tray anti-blinding device and dust cover.

According to Bruce Collier, Cargill’s rendering supervisor, the unit has a throughput of 2 to 3.5 tons of meat meal per hour and is installed adjacent to a 1524 mm Kason Vibroscreen model K60-1-SS that screens fines from tallow. Installed in September 2005, the smaller unit is equipped with a 0.42 mm aperture screen, Kleen Screen anti-blinding rings, splash cover and 1.85 kW gyratory motor.

Other Kason equipment manufactured in Australia includes low-profile vibratory screeners, centrifugal screeners, and circular fluid bed dryers, coolers and moisturisers.
