Sterilisation Of Tallow

Clean Tallow is sterilised at 133°C for 20 minutes at 3 Bar pressure. The Steriliser is filled with a five-ton charge heated to a minimum of 134°C before the sterilisation process begins. Then pressure is applied in the form of steam and the system is allowed to remain at 133°C and 3 Bar for 21 minutes. The system is then depressurised and the vapours are taken to the condensers. Clean Steriliser Tallow is stored at 60 to 70°C in an insulated tank, which is bunded and also has a high level alarm to avoid spillages, and the vents of the tank are vented to the Bio Filter.

Tallow is sold in 20 to 23 tonne loads. Loading is supervised, taking approximately 30 minutes. There is no loss of product during loading.
