Tissue Digestor™ - Product Improvements
WR2 routinely develops and implements product enhancements and improvements for the Tissue Digestor™ product line. We ask you to return frequently as new innovations are being added on a regular basis. Please contact WR2 for product improvement inquiries: Toll Free: 888-858-8099
Improved Agitation
WR2 introduces a new compound spinning agitation
system for units 48 inches in diameter and larger that is designed to circulate
material in the bottom of the basket during the digestion cycle. The result
is a more complete digestion as previously protected tissue is now exposed
to a direct spray from the spinning rotors. The new agitation system improves
digestion efficiency, allowing a reduction in initial alkali concentration.
This reduction in alkali minimizes the processing cost and gives a lower
final effluent pH.
Faster Heating and Cooling
WR2 introduces live steam injection to the WR2
Tissue Digestor™ for units 48 inches in diameter and larger. This
dramatically speeds the heating process where time is of the essence. The
new process consumes the steam condensate into the product. WR2
is excited to introduce coil heating to the WR2
Tissue Digestor™ for units 72 inches in diameter and larger. This
feature provides faster and more efficient heating and cooling while preserving
condensate to be returned to the boiler.
Pass Through Tissue Digestors™
for Bio-containment
WR2 has just completed two large pass-through
Tissue Digestors™ for use in bio-containment facilities (BSL-3 and
4). The animals are loaded in containment and the residues are removed out
of containment. These cutting-edge Digestors are available in vertical or
horizontal configurations and in many different forms that can be customized
to any bio-containment application. Horizontal units can also double as
gas chambers and/or prevac steam sterilizers. Large units can handle effluents,
large animal bedding, and carcasses all in one processor.
Energy Reduction
WR2 presents cooling water recovery tanks for
Tissue Digestor™ units 48 inches in diameter and larger. The recovery
tanks save heated water from the cooling process and use it for rinse and
fill water, resulting in considerable water conservation and energy savings.
Improved pH Control
WR2 now offers a pH reduction system that incorporates
a small amount of hydrogen peroxide for odor control and uses CO2 injection
to lower effluent pH. We are thrilled to announce that the system is available
on all new Tissue Digestor™ models and is available as a retrofit
for existing units. This enhancement is ideal in meeting regulatory requirements
of effluent pH below 10.5.
Improved Pump Seal Life
WR2 offers new improved pump barrier systems
that result in longer pump seal life. These barrier systems are standard
on all of our new high pressure units and are available as an upgrade on
existing units. WR2 has an ongoing pump testing
and development program which has produced unique pumps for bio-containment
applications including magnetically driven, open impeller, sealed designs
for use with high solids content waste materials for bio-containment applications.
User Friendly Upgrades
Now standard on all WR2 Tissue Digestor™
systems is an improved easy-to-use basket door. Also standard are improved
basket rests and basket emptying hardware. The basket door is a draw bridge
style with a solid facing. This allows the basket to be emptied from over
the Digestor, eliminating clean-up, and saving floor space.
WR2 has upgraded to easy-to-use Siemens controls on all applicable product lines. This upgrade allows WR2 to monitor your system parameters and make program changes from the Indianapolis headquarters, allowing the customer to receive immediate assistance.
