So packaged food producers and retailers can benefit from everything the id-r systems offer; cost savings and even possible revenue opportunities. Scroll down now to find out more about this fantastic add-on.

WASTE DEPACKAGING MACHINE PROCESSING
The dominator waste depackaging processing machine, waste handling whilst separating outer packaging from inside waste, enabling you to reuse and recycle waste that would have otherwise been sent straight to landfill. Waste food is a fast-growing issue for many companies, councils and manufacturers. Much of the waste generated cannot be accepted straight in to the manufacturers process; but requires some degree of separation or removal of outer waste packaging before it can be processed. The waste depackaging process is crucial in getting suitable food waste material into anaerobic digestion plants and is also used in putting food back in to animal feeds. Biogen own and operate tiger machines at three of our existing food processing facilities; millerhill, halstead and basingstoke. The tigers operate at the front end of our food waste anaerobic digestion plants. They are designed to process the raw material at the front end to separate the organic and non-organic material. The non-organic material which is mainly packaging material goes for either disposal or re-use as an alternative fuel and the organic material (biomass) is pumped forward into a holding tank and then further on to pasteurisation and digestion in the sealed tanks to generate a methane gas
