B&T Technologies and its predecessor companies have been deeply involved with the research and development of sustainable process technologies since 1989 to create high quality animal feed ingredients from food residuals, byproducts, and post-consumer food waste.
To date, B&T has manufactured twenty-seven (27) Food Waste to Animal Feed Processing Plants worldwide. Experience from each of these projects provides our customers with the most advanced technology for producing Animal Feed derived from Food Waste, commonly referred to as DFW (Dehydrated Food Waste).
Plastic totes or bulk collection using special trucks
Low-skilled labor to sort/remove foreign objects from wet food waste – traditional pick line conveyor shown. Low-skilled labor can process 1-2 wet tons/hr/person
Mix wet and dry materials to texturize (adjust moisture of homogenous mixture to pelletize)
Low pressure extrusion process to form long spaghetti strands – uniform shape for uniform drying
Hot gasses (300-350 ℉ / 149-177 ℃) at gas upflow velocities of 13-15 ft/s (4.0-4.6 m/s) creates high evaporative drying rates. The drying time is 7-9 minutes to reach 10% moisture. The surface of the pellet strand remains at the wet bulb temperature of the gas (165-175 ℉ / 74-79 ℃), so the pellet remains below its ignition point and does not burn.
After drying, pellets are heat soaked for 20-22 minutes at 210-212 °F / 99-100 ℃. Conditioning reduces pathogens by 99.99% and meets USDA requirements for animal feed derived from human food.
The exhaust gas from the fluid-bed dryer and cooler contains particulate matter (PM) that represents up to 1% of the total mass flow rate. The particles that escape in the exhaust gas have a relatively large average particle size and are easily captured with high efficiency dust collectors (cyclones).

Mr. Morgenthau spent more than 50 years in investment banking and corporate finance. He began his career in 1969 as a registered stockbroker with the brokerage firm Francis I DuPont, specializing in private placements in oil and gas and real estate. In 1972 he founded Morgenthau & Associates, a Baltimore based NASD member Broker-Dealer specializing in private placements of oil and gas operations, real estate and private equity, and ran the firm until 2001.

In 2000 pursuing his wife’s interest in car racing they formed BAM Racing LLC which started as a part time ARCA Team and later expanded into a NASCAR Cup team with 100 employees. It was during this time that Mr. and Mrs. Morgenthau became interested in the environment, becoming the primary investors in Nutracyle, LLC, which became B&T Technologies, LLC.
Mr. Morgenthau attended Culver Military Academy, Culver, Indiana from 1960 to 1964. Upon graduating, he attended Westminster College in Fulton, MO from 1964 to 1968, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree.
For decades, Mrs. Morgenthau has been very active with fund raising and sitting on the boards of several charities, in addition to playing a key role in helping her husband establish his NASD investment banking business, Morgenthau & Associates. Her family’s business, Coulter Corp., was sold in 1997 for over one billion dollars.
In 2001 she established BAM Racing, which grew from a part time ARCA Race Team to a full time NASCAR Cup Team. Elizabeth supervised the management of the team with the help of Eddie Jones, the team’s manager until 2010 due to lack of sponsorship. The friendships and business relationships that were made during this time still exist today. “Beth Ann”, as she is known, while owning the team became friends with one of the sons of her childhood racing hero, AJ Foyt.
As an entrepreneur and investor, Beth Ann has been involved in all of Anthony Morgenthau’s investments, providing a woman’s point of view on the management and objectives of those investments.
