Reduction of Water Consumption in the Processing of Rawhide and Shipskin Coat Materials

Abstract

There was made processing of rawhide and skin coat sheepskin with innovation technologies. There was demonstrated the possibility of significant reduction in water consumption and water removal by using innovative technologies. There was made a comparative analysis on water consumption in comparison with the technology employed in the present time. It was found that introduction of new technologies will reduce the water consumption for tanning and far-liquoring of 1000 kg of rawhide 2 times and eliminate water consumption for tanning and farliquoring at tunning of skin coat sheepskin. Herewith the quality of the finished product complies with regulatory requirements.
