Lyco Manufacturing takes reliability to the next level with its Sanitary Zero Maintenance Screen design, eliminating trunnion wheels and bearings. The maintenance-free design removes the need for routine lubrication of the bearings. Lyco is known for making the most robust rotary screens in the industry. As with any machinery, chain and sprocket drive systems still require routine lubrication to ensure optimal performance.
Processors can gain significant savings with our Single Drum Wastewater Screen to help reduce industrial waste and increase product recovery. Efficiently performs liquid/solid separation for red meat, pork, poultry, seafood or vegetables. Wedge-wire screens offer greater cleaning efficiencies, or reduce water requirements with an optional, patented Traveling Spray CIP option. More operators rely on Lyco’s Single Drum Wastewater Screen than any other type. Cast Stainless running rings last forever.
Processors can gain significant savings with the Double Drum Screen two-in-one screening system to reduce industrial waste and increase product recovery. The Double Drum screen combines .080″ primary and .020″ secondary screening into one machine. Operators can save space, costs and time by eliminating the need for two single-stage screens. Effective with poultry, vegetables, potatoes, fruit or snack food processing, the Double Drum screen offers durable, rugged construction and an established reputation for successful, reliable use in the industry. Users call this the best wastewater screen in the world.
Sealed drum separator features enclosed construction that contains odors, improves liquid recovery and aids in temperature control. Perfect for rendering operations, this system effectively applies heat to extract moisture and separate fat, producing superior crax to the press versus a perk pan, to create rich, granular meals for animal feed or other industrial use. Drum slot spacing offers solids removal down to 0.020 to help reduce insoluble impurities and avoid clogs in screens, nozzles and other equipment further down the processing line. Captures a greater amount of solids to reduce waste and increase product recovery.
The Lyco Manufacturing Stationary Screen de-waters products, such as beans and vegetables, or can perform rough screening of wastewater. The wastewater function cleans up pea, bean, corn, potato or meat waste. Sanitary construction and a tilt out screen make cleanup a quick process. High-quality craftsmanship guarantees long life and performance.
Lyco’s Water Reuse System can save money, cut cleaning and maintenance time, and reduce consumption of water resources — up to 15 million gallons per year. In poultry plants, this revolutionary system removes solids so that water can be re-used and sent back for prior processing steps. The system’s small footprint makes it ideal for many water reuse applications. A 200 GPM saving can return more than $150,000 a year.
New Sanitary Zero Maintenance Screens feature covers that open for full access, Clean-In-Place system with spray balls and rapid-change dual canister filters with automated purging.
Systems are available for 50 gpm – 400 gpm.
Per capita consumption of red meat might have declined, but consumer demand for poultry and other sources of animal protein have replaced it as a perceived healthier option. Even while per capita consumption has declined, overall dollar sales have increased due to value-added product introductions. Packaged Facts estimates retail sales of meat and poultry products to grow to $98.3 billion in the U.S. by 2017. And while dollar sales of fish and seafood are up, volume is down. Total retail sales of fish and seafood are projected to grow to $17.1 billion by 2017.
Prepackaged meal components or ready-to-eat options continue to drive the category as a whole, with one analytical group recently predicting the U.S. market for meat, poultry and seafood packaging to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.7% through 2019. Strict regulations for food safety requires proper processing equipment for pasteurizing product packages and rapid chilling are a must. In addition, rapid processing of these different proteins naturally requires a different approach, as the more delicate proteins within the seafood category for example, demand a gentle yet rapid processing system that won’t damage product.
Lyco has made over 750 variations of rotary drum cookers and coolers which are guaranteed to heat or cool uniformly, and have self contained Clean in Place Systems. There is one main moving part which is the rotary drum screw covered with round hole perforated skin sheets supported by two heavy duty trunnions on each end. That system never wears out.
