Valley Proteins Inc. is part of the North American rendering industry, an important player in maintaining a clean environment by recycling the perishable material generated by restaurants,, supermarkets, livestock and poultry processors and forms of food processing. A large part of this raw material is converted in our plants to high quality fats and proteins ingredients used by the poultry and livestock industry to scientifically mix with grains and other ingredients to optimize the nutrition level of animal feed: Our conversion process also yields ingredients_used-in_lubxicants,_soaps,_paiats and varnishes, pet foods, etc. Without our industry cities and towns would have to provide huge landfills to dispose of the massive quantity of animal parts that would then slowly contaminate the subsoil as it rots. would have to dispose of cooking grease through the sewer systems thereby increasing maintenance and. capital costs of sewer lines and treatment facilities. The greatest source of raw material for our plant within North Carolina is the output of poultry processors that is not used to human consumption, I.E. trimmings, bones, feathers, etc..Our other raw material sources within North Carolina are restaurants and grocery chains that produce cooking grease, trap grease and meat trimmings. Rendering is a cooking and drying process that yields varying grades of inedible fats and animal and poultry meals. The raw material is prepared for cooking by a mechanically chopping process and it is then cooked. The output of the cooking process is either sent over a vibrating screen or a drain screw conveyor to separate the fats and oils from the' solids. The fats and further processed to reduce the amount residual solids and may be mixed with vegetable oils, etc. depending upon customer requirements. The high protein solids are sent through a grinding process to produce meat meals or meat and bone meals and are also combined with other material based upon customer demands. In order to maintain as clean an environment as possible, our plants treat wastewater — a by-product of the cooking process — and cooking vapors prior to their release to the environment. The cooking vapors are passed through air condensers to condense the vapors to water. The resultant vapors are then sent though air scrubbers that chemically treat the air to eliminate odors. Wastewater is treated in a system of aeration ponds, treatment ranks and holding ponds prior to spray irrigating growing crops. P.O.

Continuous Cooker System Raw Material is dumped into the Raw Material Bin. A conveyer transfers raw material from the Raw Material Bin across a powerful Electromagnet to remove metal fragments prior to cooking. A -Raw Material Grindet -(aka PreCrushef or PreHogor) reuces the raw material sire to assure complete cooking. The Supercooker '(or Cooket)- is fed at a controlled rate by the Metering Bin. The Supercooker steam -heated shaft raises the temperature of the raw material to 250-270 degrees Fahrenheit, evaporating moisture and separating fat from solids. The cooker discharges a. slurry of fat and solids into the Drainor. The Drainor separates fat from solids. Water and vapor exit the Supercooker into the Entrainment Trap that removes particulates from the steam and returns them to the Supercooker. The vapor is then ducted to a condenser (usually a Shell and Tube or an Air Cooled Condenser). Solids from the Drainor are discharged into the Overpressor Screw Conveyor and are combined with solids from the Sweco and Centrifuge. Solids are conveyed to the Pressor, a continuous screw press which presses fat from solids. The pressed solids are conveyed to the Crax Bin then to the Harnmermill that reduces clumps of solids (crax) into fine meal. The fine meal is conveyed to the Rotex that removes any feather fragments, etc. from the meal. Finished meal is then conveyed to storage. Fat from the sedimentor and the Pressor are pumped to Sweco which removes floating particles. The particles are pumped to a Centrifuge. The Centrifuge removes any residual solids from the fat before it is pumped to storage. The Cooling Tower is in a closed loop system circulating water through the Shell & Tube Condenser and back to the Cooling Tower; water from the Shell & Tube Condenser enters the Cooling Tower at approximately 140 degrees and returns to the Shell & Tube Condenser at approxunately 90 degrees. The Shell & Tube Condenser receives hot vapors from the Cooker and condenses the vapors resulting in two outputs from the Shell & Tube Condenser — Water that goes to the Wastewater Treatment System and non-Condensibles,that are eventually returned to the boilers.
