Fish waste becomes fuel with Borger Multicrusher

World Cement,
A Borger Multicrusher has been installed at a cement manufacturer to chop up fish remains that are used as part of the fuel to fire furnaces.
The Multicrusher’s interconnecting cutting blades (set on a hexagonal carrier shaft) handle the 20% dissolved solids material to ensure that the fish remains (predominantly bones) are chopped efficiently so that they can be incinerated effectively.
Based on the principle of the Borger Rotary Lobe Pump, the Multicrusher has blades (instead of rotating lobes); configured for optimum chopping yields, that continuously macerate fish waste that would otherwise be economically unviable.
Using basic tools, maintenance staff at the cement plant can easily service the Multicrusher, without dismantling any pipe or drive systems. Designed with a quick-release cover to access wear parts, the Multicrusher benefits from Borger’s renowned Maintenance-In-Place design.
