Sealed drum separator for rendering operations

Efficiently recover liquids and manage odors with a robust solution designed to enhance oil and solid separation in continuous rendering operations.

Separates Solids from Liquids with Odor Control

The Sealed Drum Separator from Lyco Manufacturing is expertly designed to optimize the separation of solids from liquids in demanding settings such as rendering and wastewater treatment facilities. What sets it apart is its robust wedge-wire screen technology, offering enhanced separation efficiency by capturing more fines and impurities due to its precise 0.020″ spacing. The system operates through continuous flow, where effluent enters the drum, and liquid seamlessly passes through the rotating screen. This equipment efficiently handles capacities ranging from 15,000 to 45,000 pounds per hour, making it suitable for high-speed operations.

It serves a broad range of applications, including rendering processes to produce animal feed and tallow, meat and fish meal preparation, and oil recovery in vegetable processing. Designed with user convenience in mind, it features multiple clean-in-place (CIP) systems and a unique two-way flip top for easy maintenance and cleaning. The separator is configured to support odor control and is fully automated for seamless integration into existing production lines. It is engineered for versatility, handling an array of product types including granules, slurry, and liquid, while maintaining low operational energy consumption.

Benefits
