The Dominator Depackaging Machine
By Rowan Food and Biomass Engineering
Turning waste into a valuable resource with paddle depackaging and separation equipment.
From plug and play, to full operating lines
Whether you want to depackage on site, or are a commercial waste management company, we have models to suit.
Turns waste into a valuable resource
Each model is fully customisable, whether your using for AD, animal feed, or something else.
99.9% purity increases the value of your output
Our outputs are 99.94% pure*, verified by independent testing.
Lifetime value
Our machine prices are affordable, and our running costs lower than alternative machines.
Reduces water consumption
Our machines run wet or dry, for when water can’t be sourced and to minimise both running cost and environmental impact.
Separates, rather than destroys
Our machine uses a gentle agitation process, making it suitable for a wider range of applications than hammermill machines, including animal feed.
Better recovery, reduced microplastics
Unlike hammermills which pulverise and create fine plastic fragments, we prioritise recoverable material so it’s usable.
Service & maintenance for the life of your machine
Alongside our 12 month guarantee, we are on hand post-sale, to support the longevity of our machines.

Food waste: should you prioritise animal feed over anaerobic digestion?
Last month, we reflected on the changes expected to anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK, because of the Food Waste Reforms. We speculated, alongside others in the industry, whether the trend of increasing gate fees for AD will continue with the increase in...
Food Waste Reforms, depackaging quality and rising anaerobic digestion costs
In the UK, the Food Waste Reforms are fast approaching, and with them comes anticipated shifts in the economics of anaerobic digestion (AD). Gate fees for food waste treatment are already rising in response to growing demand — and this trend is at risk of...

Waste Processing Separation Machines and Equipment
Waste food is a fast-growing issue for many companies, councils and manufacturers. Much of the waste generated cannot be accepted straight into the manufacturers’ process but requires some degree of separation or removal of outer waste packaging before it can be processed.
With the increasing importance of finding green waste solutions, the Dominator Depackaging Machine not only separates and removes outer packaging but also reuses the waste that cannot be accepted into the onward manufacturing process and would have otherwise been sent straight to landfill.
The separation and depackaging process is crucial in getting suitable food waste material into anaerobic digestion plants and is also used in putting food back into animal feeds. Separated packaging can then be sent for recycling, further saving waste and potentially adding additional revenue lines.
With 5 different models available, we have the solution to suit your applications and needs.
Through unique configuration, each model is fully customisable to achieve the best results for your requirements.
Affordability and longevity – we pride ourselves on our affordable pricing whilst not compromising on quality and robustness.
Our outputs are up to 99.94% pure*.
Our machine uses a gentle agitation process with rotating paddles, making it well-suited for delicate materials and reducing micro-plastics.
12 month warranty included, with ongoing service and maintenance services available.
Made in the U.K., supplied globally. We are committed to supporting our economy.
*verified by independent customer testing, dependent on applications and requirements.
Why the Dominator Depackaging Machine?
Unlike a hammer mill machine, the Dominator Depackaging Machine uses rotating paddles to create gentle agitation that is better suited for handling materials such as food waste or other organic substances. This helps preserve the integrity of the recovered contents, particularly in respect of reducing the harmful effect of micro-plastics. The dominator maximises on the versatility that paddle machines provide by having fully customisable features, tailored to your specific and unique requirements, at a competitive price and without compromising on quality.
