Rendering Background

The rendering process, in its simplest form, converts animal by products into protein meals and purified fats. At The Leo Group, through continued re-investment in state-of-the-art machinery, we remain at the forefront of the rendering industry, designing specific plants for the most effective and efficient processing method.

The material is cooked to remove all moisture and then pressed to separate the fat content from the protein meal. Raw feathers are also treated using a hydrolisation process which sterilises and dries them to produce a high quality, high protein meal.

The by-products collected by us are predominantly from abattoirs across the UK. Using these by-products, we have the technology to produce high quality meals and oils for use in the petfood, oleo chemical and power industries.
