SEPARATORS FOR RECOVERING PLASMA AND MEAL FROM ANIMAL BLOOD

Consistent processing of animal blood into blood plasma or blood meal is a possible way of increasing the profitability of abattoirs even further. Obtaining blood plasma in particular opens up lucrative opportunities because this product is very much in demand from a wide variety of industries due to the valuable constituents it contains. Blood plasma is used as an additive in the food sector as well as in the pharmaceutical and pet food industries.

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.
