Alfa Laval partners with rendering industry for sustainable growth

Alfa Laval will be at the 17th Australian Renderer’s Association Symposium where industry leaders, researchers, and practitioners from around the globe gather to share their insights and discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the industry. This year, the highly anticipated event will be diving into Sustainability and the Circular Economy to discuss biofuels, market insights, industry advancements and future perspectives.

Meet our experts from Alfa Laval at stand 14 to discuss the best ways to maximize uptime, profitability and sustainability for your local meat processing and rendering industry. With more than 95 years of unrivalled service presence in Australia and New Zealand, Alfa Laval has been the trusted service partner for decanters and centrifuges, high speed separators as well as complete wet rendering lines and evaporation systems that can be adapted for both edible or inedible use, with full CIP capabilities.
