Rendering is one of the oldest established recycling processes, taking what would otherwise be waste materials and making useful products such as fuel, soaps and meat and bone meal etc. At the same time, rendering solves what would be a major disposal problem.
Important customers such as the pet food manufacturers operate a quality assurance policy, which includes strict specifications on meat meal supplies and routine testing. In light of these requirements the rendering industry must carry out compositional analysis for, amongst other things, nutrients such as, moisture, protein, oil, fibre and ash. INGOT® Near-Infrared calibrations packages, allow a substantial QC saving to be made by reducing the cost of nutritional testing without compromising analytical accuracy and precision.
