Stock Rendering Components Reduce Cost and Lead Time

Introduction

JBS operates a large-scale beef processing facility in Greeley, CO. Over 6,000 head of cattle a day are processed into steaks, ground beef, and other beef products. Byproducts such as offal, tallow, and bones are processed for biodiesel, protein, and pet food. Screw conveyors are used throughout the process of rendering animal byproducts.

Challenge

JBS needed replacement screw conveyor parts to provide extended service without added cost or lead time associated with custom fabrication. Screw conveyors are a vital part of beef processing, and downtime must be avoided. Replacement parts must be readily available to keep the plant running at full capacity.

KWS Advantage

Stock screw conveyor components specifically for the rendering industry were created and kept in stock for same-day shipment including troughs, shafts, and screws.

The combination of availability, value, and quality is the KWS advantage.
