Tallow Production via Wet Rendering Method

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of Tallow production via Wet Rendering Method. The manufacturing process of Tallow involves beef suet or other animal fat trimmings as the raw materials. It occurs via the wet rendering method. Wet rendering separates Tallow from the solids while the material is still wet. The material is diced into small chunks and then cooked through a reactor so that heat transfer can penetrate the centre of each particle. The process separates the liquid water and fat mixture by heating the raw material to a temperature of 90° C. The solids are separated from the water and Tallow by either pressing or centrifuging and/or evaporation. The separated solids are dried to produce meat meal while the liquid is known as Tallow.
