Water reuse system for poultry plants
Optimize your water usage and reduce operating costs with an efficient system that recycles millions of gallons annually, ideal for production lines requiring stringent water sustainability and solid removal measures.

Recycles and Reuses Water in Food Processing
The Water Reuse System from Lyco Manufacturing drastically reduces water usage in industrial food processing. This innovative system removes solids from wastewater, enabling the recycling and reuse of water in poultry, meat, seafood, and vegetable processing lines. Operating on a continuous and fully-automated basis, it utilizes advanced filtration and separation processes, including Lyco’s Sanitary Zero Maintenance Screen and Dual Canister Filtration System, capable of handling up to 400 GPM. Designed with a compact footprint, it fits seamlessly into facilities with limited space.
Highly applicable in operations producing chicken breast fillets, beef steak cuts, salmon fillets, potato wedges, and more, the system ensures significant water savings and adherence to stringent environmental regulations. With its sanitary, easy-to-clean design incorporating CIP spray balls and rapid filter changes, it minimizes downtime and maintenance costs. Lyco’s engineering support offers customization options to meet specific operational needs, promoting environmentally sustainable and cost-effective water management.
