Grinder Makes It Easy To Compost Dead Animals LIVESTOCK Handling 21-2-26 Composting is catching on fast as a way to dispose of dead animals.
This new grinder for hog and poultry carcasses speeds up the process.
T&P Machine and Manufacturing's electric-powered unit is one of the first such machines on the market. It provides a faster, more economical way to handle dead animals than an incinerator, according to the company.
It's powered by a 5 hp motor that's wired for 220-volt single phase current. It turns a cutter bar at 1950 rpm's for a coarse grind. To use, you feed one carcass at a time into the poly chute, waiting about 30 seconds between loading to complete grinding and clear the machine. Carcasses are discharged through a waste exit chute into any collection container, such as 5-gal. pail.
Clean-up is easy with water.
Will handle pigs up to 13 lbs. and poultry up to 8 lbs.
Sells for $3,475.
