In the heart of the Midwest, you find Prestage Foods of Iowa – the most advanced and modern processing plant in the world. The advanced, high-tech pork processing facility began commercial operations in March 2019 and is now processing ten thousand animals per shift.

 

 

Superior Technology

 

For Prestage Foods, being able to render at the same capacity was on top of the list of criteria for the rendering area - along with the company's commitment to the community about environmental controls, namely odor control. To meet these criteria, Haarslev was the ideal choice: "We really saw Haarslev as sticking out with superior technology to control the odor", says Jere Null, CEO, Prestage Foods of Iowa.

 

Mit der Technologie und den Schulungen von Haarslev ist Prestage Foods in der Lage, die Effizienz zu steigern, die Prozesssteuerung zu verbessern und z. B. die Feuchtigkeit und die Ausbeute zu kontrollieren. All with a very small labour force and even with no prior knowledge of the system: "This was a brand new system to all of us. It's been very easy to train on, we've run it with people that have never done this before" - Jere Null.

 

 

Rendering is a revenue stream

 

At Haarslev, we strive to assist our customers in harnessing all parts of their processes and with rendering as an important revenue stream, we are proud to say that we have met Prestage Foods’ high expectations. Watch the reference video in our case section here on the website.
