Stord Processing Equipment

Fish and meat rendering equipment and replacement parts, supplied and supported across New Zealand and Australia.

Stord Process AS is a Norwegian manufacturer with decades of experience building fish meal and meat rendering machinery used in facilities worldwide — from compact plants aboard stern trawlers to large, centralised land-based processing factories. Conveyor Industries (CIL Ltd) supplies core Stord equipment and replacement parts to operators in New Zealand and Australia, and can assist where that machinery needs to connect with conveying systems and broader plant infrastructure.
Where reliable dewatering, cooking, and drying are critical to production continuity, having a local point of contact for equipment and parts makes a real difference to uptime. Talk to our team about what you require.

Stord Compact Fish Meal Plant

Complete fish meal production system — vessel or land-based

The Stord Compact Fish Meal Plant is a fully integrated fish meal production system, custom-engineered to each installation. Stord has designed and built these plants for a wide range of applications — from compact systems aboard stern trawlers processing catch at sea, through to large land-based fish meal factories and meat rendering facilities.
Each plant is individually adapted to the vessel or facility: integrated with the site control system, matched to surrounding equipment such as fillet lines and steam boilers, and configured for the specific species, volumes, and site conditions involved.

Application
Stern trawlers, land-based fish meal, meat rendering — new-build or retrofit
Integration
Compatible with vessel control systems, fillet lines and steam boilers
Configuration
Individual machines or fully interconnected design with tanks, platforms and controls
Output
Fish meal, fish oil, and separated process liquids for further refining or direct use

Stord Disc Dryer

Continuous indirect drying — fish meal, rendering, and general processing

The Stord Disc Dryer is the workhorse of the fish meal drying process. Indirectly heated by steam circulating inside a rotating disc rotor, it efficiently evaporates moisture from cooked and pressed material without direct contact between the heating medium and the product. Water vapour from the drying chamber is extracted through the vapour dome and routed to a condensation system for recovery or disposal.
Drying is a continuous process: raw material enters at the inlet end of the stator and dried product exits at the outlet end into downstream conveyors. The same technology is applied across pre-heating, cooking, drying, and frying applications in fish meal, slaughterhouse by-products, and general industrial processing.

Stord Twin Screw Press

Reliable, energy-efficient dewatering and fat control

The Stord Twin Screw Press delivers reliable, energy-efficient mechanical separation of liquid from cooked fish or rendering material. Two slowly counter-rotating press screws generate sustained pressing force across the full length of the press cage, producing a drier press cake with lower residual fat — and doing so with minimal maintenance demand and high operational availability.
Fed directly from a pre-heater or screw cooker, the press cake exits the outlet end and passes on to drying, while press liquor — carrying oil, water, and suspended solids — is collected in the fluids tray below for further separation and oil recovery.

Stord Screw Cooker

Precise, energy-efficient cooking — the critical step before pressing

Pre-heating and cooking are among the most critical stages of the fish meal process. By raising the raw material temperature to 90–100°C over a 15–20 minute retention time, the cooker breaks down fat deposits in the fish tissue, releasing oil that can be mechanically separated in the subsequent pressing stage. Without proper cooking, press yield and oil recovery are significantly reduced.
The Stord Screw Cooker uses indirect steam heating — approximately two-thirds of the energy is delivered via steam inside the screw-shaped rotor and one-third from a steam jacket on the outside of the stator. The slowly rotating rotor provides gentle, even heat transfer, with full-speed control on the main drive for precise throughput management.

Stord Tube Pre-Heater

Recover waste heat and reduce cooker energy by up to 50%

The Stord Tube Pre-Heater is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger installed upstream of the screw cooker. It uses waste heat recovered from the drying process — specifically, hot vapour from the disc dryer — to pre-heat raw fish material to 45–50°C before it enters the cooker. The result is a dramatic reduction in the energy demand of the cooker, typically around 50%, along with a reduction in the required retention time.
Because the pre-heater raises material temperature so substantially before cooking, the required cooker can be sized significantly smaller than for a conventional process, reducing both capital expenditure and ongoing operating costs. Many customers report a full capital payback in under 12 months.

Stord Meal Cooler

Safe, continuous cooling of dried fish meal before bagging or storage

Dried fish meal exits the disc dryer at temperatures of 80–90°C. Before the meal can be safely bagged, stored, or dispatched, it must be cooled to around 40–50°C to prevent moisture reabsorption, degradation of nutritional quality, and fire risk during storage. The Stord Meal Cooler achieves this efficiently in a continuous counterflow air-cooling process.
Ambient air is drawn into the machine in counterflow against the hot meal stream moving from the inlet to the outlet. Cooling capacity scales with both the meal mass flow rate and the ambient air temperature, and the machine is sized for the facility's specific production throughput.
Nominal Capacity
1,000 to 10,000 kg/hr of dry fish meal
Cooling Target
80–90°C inlet to 40–50°C outlet at 20–30°C ambient
Materials
High-grade carbon steel or stainless steel

Stord Strainer Conveyor

Increase press capacity by removing free liquid before pressing

Installed between the screw cooker and twin screw press, the Stord Strainer Conveyor removes the bulk of free oil and water released during cooking before the material reaches the press. By eliminating excess liquid at this stage, the press operates with a reduced hydraulic load — increasing pressing capacity, improving press cake dryness, and extending the service life of press wear components.
The liquid separated by the strainer can be handled independently from the press liquor or combined with it. This separation also creates an opportunity to recover valuable compounds directly from the strainer liquor: amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and suspended fine particles can be extracted and processed separately, improving overall yield and product value.
Nominal Capacity
2,000 to 20,000 kg/hr of raw material
Material
Stainless steel as standard for all general industry applications
Key Benefit
Increases press capacity and reduces press wear
