Our process and engineering technology concentrates

on customised solutions in order to make our customers
business more profitable and sustainable. We supply a
wide variety of equipment and complete plant solutions
to support batch as well as continuous processes. Our
process solutions cover wet and dry rendering, processing of poultry feathers and blood, fat melting and byproduct handling systems for slaughterhouses and for
pet food raw materials.

Hydrolising of feathers and hog hair prior to drying
breaks down the protein bonds in the raw material and
makes the amino acids available. This transforms feather
and hog hair into a valuable feed ingredient.
Haarslev Industries offers a range of hydrolysers, batch as
well as continuous. The selection of hydrolyser for a specific customer is done considering capacity, end product
quality and energy consumption in each individual case.
After hydrolising, the hydrolised substance is typically
dried in our steam driers ensuring a good balance between product quality, energy consumption and capital
investment.

We are well aware that the perfect functioning of our

machinery and equipment will contribute to maximum
profitability for their users. Therefore we employ competent and experienced service engineers and supervisors
working world-wide.
The Service Departments of Haarslev Industries take
pride in supporting our customers in order to optimise
the operation of our equipment. We are always in dialogue with the customers in order to establish a system
for supplying spare parts securing the quality in the
application of original parts. We also offer re-building of
most of our products in one of our service centres. By
renovating equipment, we increase the efficiency of the
production line, and our customers avoid investing in
completely new machinery.
All equipment is offered with a list of recommended
spare parts based on a part number system, which
secures that the parts are in accordance with the original
design specification.
Our files contain documentation for equipment supplied
and can be used to confirm or identify the specifications
for parts supplied more than
30 years ago.
