The Water Footprint of Meat Production
The meat production industry, known for its intensive use of resources, especially water, is witnessing a significant shift towards sustainability. Having the best possible spray nozzles and spraying systems will save your business in the long run.

Traditionally, the meat industry has been a heavy consumer of water. From processing and cleaning to cooling and packaging, each step requires substantial water use. Sometimes this water must be heated to over 82 degrees to ensure sanitation, and this heating is expensive.
Our nozzles are engineered to optimise water usage, focusing on efficiency and minimal waste. They are designed to deliver water at precise flow rates and patterns, ensuring that each drop is utilised effectively. Each nozzle goes through extensive testing before entering the market and we have over 80 years of experience in nozzle design.
Reduced Water Consumption: By optimising the flow and spread of water, these nozzles significantly reduce the amount of water needed in various processes, such as cleaning and cooling.
Cost-Effective: Lower water usage translates into reduced utility bills. Over time, this cost-effectiveness can lead to substantial savings for meat producers.
Environmental Impact: Reduced water usage directly correlates to a lower environmental impact. By consuming less water, meat production companies contribute to the conservation of this vital resource.
Proven results
Our nozzles and systems are in meat processing plants all across Australia, New Zealand and the world. Our engineers can come to your site and work with you to create a design that works for your plant. A recent customer called one of our spray engineers in for a spray assessment of their facility after they were told to reduce their water consumption by the local authorities. We were able to reduce their water consumption by over 20% with just a few simple changes.
Challenges and Future Directions
While the benefits are clear, the implementation of these systems comes with its challenges. The initial investment and the need for retrofitting existing systems can be barriers for some companies. However, the long-term benefits and the push towards sustainable practices are strong motivating factors. Ultimately getting the right system in will save your business in the long run.
In-house fabrication
We can custom design and fabricate your products at our Melbourne manufacturing facility.
