About the Project

Modern rendering technology for sustainable slaughterhouse operations

ATH. FASOULAS-DIM. NTOUFAS & CO is a Greek meat processing company operating as a partnership between Athanasios Fasoulas and Dimitrios Ntoufas.

The company manages the Municipal Slaughterhouse of Oichalia in Trikala and operates a dedicated waste management facility, combining traditional slaughterhouse operations with modern environmental compliance.

Euromac was contracted to design and install a comprehensive rendering line engineered for animal waste from goats, cattle and pigs.

The Challenge

Meeting Greek and EU requirements for biological waste treatment

The municipal slaughterhouse faced a major operational challenge: all waste generated from slaughtered animals must undergo proper biological treatment to prevent public health risks and environmental pollution.

Traditional disposal methods were no longer acceptable, creating both compliance pressure and financial pressure for the facility.

  • Safe treatment of animal by-products
  • Compliance with Greek and EU regulations
  • Reduced public health and environmental risk
  • Lower waste disposal costs
  • Improved long-term operating efficiency
The Solution

Complete refurbished rendering line

Euromac delivered a fully refurbished rendering line centered around an Oestergaard batch cooker, integrating crushing, pressing, heat recovery and material handling into one complete system.

01

Oestergaard Batch Cooker

Nominal loading capacity of 5,000 kg per batch for municipal slaughterhouse operations.

02

Oestergaard Crusher

Continuous and efficient size reduction of raw animal by-products before cooking.

03

MIG Fat Press

Continuous pressing of fat from cooked and dried animal and poultry by-products.

04

Shell Heat Exchanger

Condenses steam and process gases back into water, reducing operational costs.

05

Custom Conveyors & Silos

Custom-built integration finished in the client’s preferred color scheme.

Engineered to turn slaughterhouse waste into a controlled production process

The installation combines older generation refurbished systems with new Euromac-built components, creating a reliable and cost-efficient rendering line.

The batch cooker provides the main thermal treatment stage, while the crusher prepares raw material, the fat press recovers valuable rendered fat and the heat exchanger improves energy efficiency.

  • Refurbished Oestergaard batch cooker
  • Oestergaard crusher for raw material preparation
  • MIG Fat Press for resource recovery
  • Shell heat exchanger for thermal energy recovery
  • Custom conveyors and silos for complete process integration
The Value

From waste handling to circular economy value

The refurbished Oestergaard batch system processes raw animal by-products into two distinct revenue streams while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

01

Animal Protein Meal

High-grade animal protein meal suitable for feed applications where regulations allow.

02

Rendered Tallow

Recovered fat suitable for biodiesel, soap manufacturing and industrial applications.

03

Energy Recovery

Thermal energy recovery from the process helps reduce operating costs and environmental impact.

Operational benefits

  • Reduced disposal costs
  • New revenue streams
  • Thermal energy recovery
  • Lower environmental footprint
  • Circular economy approach
  • Compliance with municipal waste management obligations
The Refurbishment
