Abstract
The apparatus for the production of fodder and fat from animal raw materials such as slaughter house waste includes a heating apparatus for heating the raw material, a pressing apparatus for separating the heated material into a solid material phase and a fluid phase, a drier for drying the solid material phase to remove water and an evaporator for evaporating the fluid phase. The evaporator receives waste heat from the drier to carry out the evaporation of the fluid phase.
