INTESTINAL CHILLING PLANT

In cooperation with our plumbing department, we have just completed another major project.

At the request of the largest poultry meat producer in Poland, we have made an installation for the cooling of intestines from slaughtered poultry destined for animal feed. Both the equipment, pipelines and all fittings were made of acid-resistant steel. The capacity of the installation is approx. 3-4 tons of product / h. The temperature of the medium entering the mixer varies between 30-40°C, while the temperature of the cooled product is approx. 4-6°C.

The installation includes:

• Acid-resistant steel mixer with a capacity of 35m3

The mixer is designed to mix and cool slaughterhouse intestines, which are delivered to the tank via a loading system. After the medium has cooled sufficiently, the tank is emptied through a drain port. The inner jacket of the tank and the bottom bottom bottom were made using pillow-plate jacket technology. These coats are divided into 3 independent cooling sections: one on the bottom floor and two on the cylindrical part. The multi-stage cooling used is switched on depending on how full the tank is. Due to the rather unusual medium, we equipped the mixer with a special frame mixer with the possibility of working in two directions. In addition, the tank has been equipped with a CIP washing system that ensures full leachability of the tank, a radar level measurement sensor and other necessary sensors and spigots.

• Support structure for the tank including platforms and ladders

The gut cooling mixer sits on a special support structure made of S235 steel I-beams, which were then galvanized to protect the structure from corrosion. The structure’s extended legs allow the car to pass freely under the mixer to unload it. In addition, the use of dedicated platforms and ladders makes the operator’s work much easier and safer.

• Refrigeration system

The cooling system is designed to supply cooling medium to the cooling jacket of the mixer. The cooling system was individually selected according to the parameters provided by the customer. The refrigeration plant consists of a chiller with a cooling capacity of more than 163kW, pillow-plate cooling jackets mounted on the tank, a pipe-in-pipe product process installation and the necessary fittings. valves. The whole thing was made in acid-resistant steel of AISI 304 grade.

• Pipeline insulation

Piping systems are covered with rubber insulation and then covered with stainless steel sheeting.

The entire intestinal cooling system is electrically controlled from a control cabinet with all the necessary equipment to operate the system. At the customer’s request, we introduced the ability to check tank capacity and alarm conditions online in the control. This will make it possible to check whether the process is running properly anywhere with Internet access, further facilitating the entire system.
