B&T Technologies Experts in Processing Food Waste to Animal Feed

About B&T

B&T Technologies and its predecessor companies have been deeply involved with the research and development of sustainable process technologies since 1989 to create high quality animal feed, pet food and human food ingredients.  Instead of using expensive or unavailable virgin grains as the starting material, B&T’s sustainable production utilizes food waste that otherwise would have ended in landfill. The B&T production materials are sourced either from unsold or unused factory food waste (pre-consumer food waste) or food that has reached the market but not consumed (post-consumer food waste).

To date, B&T has manufactured twenty-seven (27) Food Waste to Animal Feed Processing Plants worldwide. Experience from each of these projects provides our customers with the most advanced technology for producing Animal Feed, Pet Food and Human Food ingredients derived from unsold/unused food.

Unique Technology

Food Waste Collection

Plastic totes or bulk collection using special trucks

Foreign Object Removal

Low-skilled labor to sort/remove foreign objects from wet food waste – traditional pick line conveyor shown. Low-skilled labor can process 1-2 wet tons/hr/person

Mixing / Texturizing

Mix wet and dry materials to texturize (adjust moisture of homogenous mixture to pelletize)

Pelletizing

Low pressure extrusion process to form long spaghetti strands – uniform shape for uniform drying

Fluid-Bed Drying

Hot gasses (300-350 ℉ / 149-177 ℃) at gas upflow velocities of 13-15 ft/s (4.0-4.6 m/s) creates high evaporative drying rates. The drying time is 7-9 minutes to reach 10% moisture. The surface of the pellet strand remains at the wet bulb temperature of the gas (165-175 ℉ / 74-79 ℃), so the pellet remains below its ignition point and does not burn.

Conditioning

After drying, pellets are heat soaked for 20-22 minutes at 210-212 °F / 99-100 ℃. Conditioning reduces pathogens by 99.99% and meets USDA requirements for animal feed derived from human food.

High Efficiency Cyclones

The exhaust gas from the fluid-bed dryer and cooler contains particulate matter (PM) that represents up to 1% of the total mass flow rate. The particles that escape in the exhaust gas have a relatively large average particle size and are easily captured with high efficiency dust collectors (cyclones).
