Separators for recovering plasma and meal from animal blood

From starter models for abattoirs to fully-automatic high-performing centrifuges for professional blood processors

High-value protein source

When the blood with added anticoagulant is separated, plasma is recovered as a light liquid component. It contains 7 to 9 percent protein with a very high proportion of essential amino acids, and hence has a correspondingly high nutritional value. The blood plasma recovered can be fed into fresh processing or further processed to make blood plasma powder. The second phase from separation of animal blood is the blood concentrate which can be dried to make blood meal.
