Raw material utilization and production efficiency are key drivers of profitability in the fish, meat and poultry processing industry.

Alfa Laval offers a wide range of modular and easy-to-scale solutions for the processing of blood, animal by-products, and process water. Whether you require individual pieces of equipment, pre-designed systems, or complete, fully customized processing lines, there is a solution for you.

The meat and poultry industries often deal with tough, visco-elastic, abrasive products which need to be heated or cooled.

By-products have unpredictable or variable properties such as density, water/protein content, fragments or bone content.

Contherm® offers extreme flexibility against this variability while maintaining optimal thermal performance.

Contherm Core is based on the standard Contherm® range, offering a cost-effective solution for low and medium viscosity and/or fouling products with or without particles.

Contherm® offers a payback of less than 2 years, when compared with a direct steam injection system. Furthermore, it allows a uniform treatment and prevents protein degradation.
