By gloop I mean a watery mixture similar in appearance to vomit (sorry, just the best visual I can provide.) The substance does not feel sticky before and I have yet to stick my hand in it after but looks more soggy.

It should also be noted that an attempt has been made previously to pass it through a steam heated dryer with a couple of intermeshed auger's pushing it through the dryer. During this process the substance again turns gloopy and as such the augers were unable to push it along. This was in the...

It has been spun in a tricanter before the conveyor so to separate as much water and oil. Although it does have moisture content but like mince if you squeeze it very little comes out. No doubt if an industrial vacuum press or something was used it would further remove water but I don't see this...

No, this seems like a good idea. Information I have been provided, but never gathered myself was that below 30 degree it remains solid. Current process has been to fill up the skip half with saw dust half with waste. I am an engineering student working over the summer and thought it would be...

Yes it is Celsius. Water would cool it down for sure but would be counterproductive as the outcome I am looking to achieve cooler and dry so transportation in large 20 ton skips is easier.

I should have been clearer this is a by-product of Leather making and going to landfill. Not actually meat but the off cuts from hides.

The substance is meat which has been diced into small pieces. It is heated up and passed through a Tricanter to separate solids, water and oil and the substance I am left with is similar to mince meat. If left warm in a skip it turns gloopy from (I believe) the moisture content condensing and...

I am wondering if someone can please advice on how to improve the effectiveness of a cooling system I am using. I am trying to cool a substance using an 8m long conveyor belt with 3 air conditioning units with two outlets on each unit blowing down on the material. The current set up I have...
