Thermal Disposal System
Animal mortalities are an unfortunate part of agriculture. Listening to the concerns of poultry growers, we designed a better way to dispose of carcasses that is clean, efficient, and 100% biosecure.
A Texas Company based in Houston, AgriTech was formed by agriculture and technology experts with experience implementing technology in fragmented industries.
Our team includes members with experience in the Texas Department of Agriculture, multi-generation farming family members, and our farming and technology partners in Israel who first developed the technology in the world’s agriculture technology hub, the Jordan Valley.
The AgriTech Thermal Disposal Systems turn deadstock into an organic powder through a high-tech sterilization & dehydration process. Instead of incinerating, freezing, or composting, you can dispose of deadstock immediately in a unit that works so fast you won’t risk transmitting disease from mortalities to healthy chickens. This protects your operation's biosecurity and reduces the likelihood of a pathogen outbreak. It also keeps groundwater and soil safe from contamination and eliminates odor.
The Agritech Thermal Disposal Systems are easy to use. Set it and forget it – unlike composting, there is no need to add supplemental sources of carbon.
AgriTech’s Thermal Disposal Systems use advanced thermal sterilization technology early in the cycle, making us the only 100% biosecure solution.
Find out why countless animal production operations worldwide are switching to the AgriTech Thermal Disposal Systems. Whether you need a Phoenix Sentry, a Veridian, or both, AgriTech's Thermal Disposal is the system they’re choosing.

The Thermal Disposal Difference
- Increased Bio-Security - AgriTech Thermal Disposal Systems bolster bio-safety. We immediately discard deadstock, not freeze it or leave it to decay in a compost pile. Advanced thermal sterilization technology destroys pathogens.
- Better for the Environment - AgriTech’s Thermal Disposal Systems eliminate the water and ground contamination caused by other mortality disposal methods. Unlike incinerators, our systems don't release smoke into the air - only odorless steam.
- Faster - Hours, Not Weeks. That's all you need to turn 1 ton of deadstock into pathogen-free dry meal. This is at least 30 times faster than composting. No more disease-carrying scavengers or breeding grounds for bacteria.
- Weather-dependent - Our systems operate year-round, regardless of temperature.
- Cost-Effective - If you're using incinerators, freezers, or paying for offal removal, the low cost of the Phoenix Sentry and/or The Veridian will lower your operating budget and create a positive ROI in no time.

Keep it clean
The Phoenix Sentry sterilizes early in the cycle.
The unique early-cycle sterilization feature kills all viruses and bacteria within minutes, even airborne viruses.
Don't store dead birds on-site while taking in new chicks. Keep contaminants away from your flock, soil, and water supply. Stay fully compliant and protect both your birds and your operation.
Do it fast
Start the cycle at the end of the day, and it’s done by the morning. No more waiting for nature to take its course, or for someone to remove carcasses from a freezer. No more emptying, cleaning, and refilling bins. Instead, you’ll save time, labor, and cost, leaving more for other areas of your operation.
Make it easy
Just fill the machine, press a button, and you’re good to go. The cycle runs independently, and it empties the byproduct automatically. There’s nothing complicated to learn. And no bulking agents or vendor schedules to manage. You’ll cut one more thing off your list.

FAQ
Traditionally, growers have disposed of animal mortalities using incinerators, freezers, bin composters, and in-vessel composters.. Each of these methods has significant drawbacks, including the risk of contagion, scavengers, odor, and cost of labor. Thermal Disposal revolutionizes deadstock disposal, using proprietary thermal sterilization technology to speed the process and destroy pathogens. No odor, no scavengers, and no more worries about what to do with your animal carcasses. Compared to in-vessel composting units, AgriTech is:
- less expensive to run and requires less labor
- the only solution that is 100% bio-safe
- 30 times more efficient than in-vessel composters
- able to reduce waste by half, a reduction six times better than the leading competitor
- a turn-key solution that’s ready-to-go as soon as it’s delivered
Our dehydrator produces no odor, only odorless steam.
The AgriTech Thermal Disposal System can process up to 2000 pounds (2 tons) of animal mortalities in a matter of hours.
The AgriTech Thermal Disposal System operates in even the coldest temperatures. Being able to run year-round keeps growing operations cleaner and safer.
