Limed fleshings is a byproduct from tanneries. Valuable animal fat can be recovered during the processing of limed fleshings. Our customers profit twice over from this fat recovery: Firstly, the disposal costs are drastically reduced and, secondly, a valuable raw material is obtained – the fat.

Increasing fuel costs are making fat recovery in tanneries increasingly attractive. The recovered fat can also be used for firing the boiler used for generating the steam.

Flottweg centrifuges are used in tanneries in the following applications:

• Processing limed fleshings
• Recovering animal fats
• Processing wastewater in tanneries
• Processing tannery waste
