Better quality control in dried pet food
Vibratory linear screens harness nutrients in kibble production lines
Around 160 million tonnes of seafood are harvested and processed each year globally , according to the American Chemical Society ’ s Turning Food Protein Waste into Sustainable Technologies study . Astonishingly , only 20 to 50 per cent of this vast quantity is recovered as edible food . The rest is classified as byproducts or waste — and rich in unused protein . Here , Stephen Harding , managing director at the material handling specialist Gough Engineering , explains how vibratory linear screens support pet food manufacturers in yielding protein ’ s benefits and harnessing waste sources of protein .
Like many byproducts of the meat industry , seafood waste is incredibly rich in collagen — one of the most abundant proteins in the body . Fish skin , scales , fins and bones are all rich sources of protein , which the American
