Stock Rendering Components Reduce Cost and Lead Time

Introduction

JBS operates a beef processing facility in Hyrum, UT, processing more than 2,000 head of cattle each day into steaks, ground beef, and other beef products. Offal, tallow, bones, and other byproducts are recovered for use in biodiesel, protein products, pet food, and other applications. Screw conveyors support the movement of these materials throughout the rendering process.

Challenge

JBS required replacement screw conveyor components that could deliver reliable service without the added expense and extended schedule of custom fabrication. Screw conveyors are essential to beef processing, making equipment reliability critical. Replacement components needed to be available quickly so the plant could maintain production and avoid extended downtime

KWS Advantage

Motion in Hyrum, UT, and KWS developed a solution tailored to JBS’s rendering operation. KWS stocked standard screw conveyor components, including troughs, shafts, and screws, for same-day shipment. Using readily available parts simplified purchasing, reduced delivery time, and helped JBS keep its rendering system operating reliably. Availability, value, and quality define the KWS advantage.
