Frequently Asked Questions

We combine drying and particle size reduction into a single continuous process, transforming wet, bulky, or inconsistent byproduct into a stable, uniform material — without separate drying and milling equipment.

It's one core platform. The same drying, milling, and particle size reduction technology adapts across materials — including bone meal, fly ash, eggshell, food and beverage byproduct, and biochar — rather than requiring a different system for each.

It depends on the application, but it can run fully electric — no natural gas or inlet heat required.

We’re not limited to a specific region — we have units placed all over the world. Contact us to discuss your location and what deployment would look like for your facility.

Check our Input Compatibility Guide to see how your material is currently categorized — proven, conditional, or incompatible. If it’s conditional or not listed, contact us to discuss further or schedule a trial to review.

No. Contact us first to see if we’ve already run your material — if so, we can share those results directly. We can also run a trial on our demo equipment with your exact material so you can see real performance data on your own material before making any commitment.

We run your actual material through our system and share the resulting data — moisture reduction, particle consistency, throughput — so you can evaluate real results before moving forward. You're welcome to join us in Redfield, Iowa to watch the trial in person. We ask for at least two weeks' notice to schedule, and a minimum of 1,000 lbs of material for testing.

A wide range of post-consumer, post-agricultural, and post-food waste streams — bone meal, fly ash, eggshell (calcium and membrane), spent grains, citrus peel, shellfish waste, and biochar, among others.

It depends on the material — examples include animal feed, pet nutrition, fertilizer and soil amendments, concrete and cement (SCMs), cosmetics and nutraceuticals, and plastics.

As a general rule, any input above roughly 80% moisture (dissolved solids) doesn’t blend predictably and can’t move through the system consistently. Check our Input Compatibility Guide or contact us to discuss your specific material.

It depends on the product. Moisture reduction performance varies by material, so the best way to get an accurate answer is to contact us directly — we can walk through your specific material and share the results we’ve seen on similar products in the past.

A typical installation footprint is 30’ × 40’ × 25’ (L × W × H), which includes the baghouse and electrical cabinet, with an installed height clearance of 25 ft. This is a starting-point figure — if your site has space constraints, the footprint can often be reduced through engineering modifications. Contact us to discuss your facility and what layout would work best.

Timelines vary based on how quickly we’re able to move through discovery, how many trial runs are needed to confirm fit, and how responsive both sides are throughout the process. As a general benchmark, lead time is typically 30 to 40 weeks from sale to deployment.

Cost varies based on your specific product, installation requirements, and facility needs, but as a general range, systems typically run $1.4M to $2.2M. Contact us for a more precise estimate based on your application.

By diverting material from landfills, reducing reliance on mined or fossil-fuel-derived inputs, and — where applicable — eliminating natural gas from the drying process.
