| Stun
pen |
·
This pen or box is used to contain an animal prior to captive bolt
stunning.
· The standard construction is mild steel with a hot dip galvanize
finish stainless steel is available at an extra cost
· Our standard sized box is designed to accommodate average
sized cattle but sizes can be varied to suit a specific customer requirements
· Available with or without restraint mechanisms
· Doors are normally pneumatically powered to minimize noise
and risk of injury both of which are problems with counter weighted
doors
· Operator can normally have an option to shoot from above
or in front of the box. |
| Automatic
Lander |
·
This is a high-speed hoist designed for the safe lifting of stunned
animals from the dry landing area and positioning them on the bleed
rail.
· Lift speed is 35m/min
· Most rail and shackle types can be accommodated
· The operator is only required to shackle the animal then
press an auto button positioned on a wall a safe distance away.
· This system avoids the need to have an operator stand below
the carcass as it is being lifted. |
| Bleed
Conveyor |
· The
bleed conveyor is used to move carcasses from the landing area to
the legging platform allowing adequate time for them to bleed fully.
· This bleed time dictates how long the line must be. The higher
the throughput the longer the bleed line must be.
· This is normally a "powered and free system" allowing
carcasses to be manually pushed along the rail in the event of a loss
of power on the conveyor.
· Round bar is our preferred rail type though any rail type
can normally be accommodated.
· The system works on a stop start cycle to ensure there is
always a carcass waiting at the legging platform
· The conveyor is constructed in mild steel with a hot dip
galvanize finish
· It is electrically powered and driven via a Reduction Gearbox.
|
| Bleed
Shackle Dropper |
· This
machine is required to lower bleed shackles from bleed rail height
to a height from which an operator can lift them off.
· There are several types available to accommodate different
shackle types.
· Types include chain lowerators, screw lowerators or vertical
pneumatic droppers
· Pneumatic devices can be added to index shackles one at a
time or whenever the operator calls for one.
· This machine may not be required if a dedicated shackle return
conveyor is used instead.
|
| Transfer
Machine |
· A
transfer machine is so called because it aids the operator in transferring
the carcass from the bleed line to the dressing line
· The first operator dresses the free leg and hangs it on the
machine using a meat hook and roller
· The second operator then uses the machine to lift the dressed
leg to a higher level allowing the de-shackling of the second leg
for dressing.
· It is then hung into the machine using a meat hook and roller
· The operator again moves the machine and in doing so moves
the completed carcass to the dressing conveyor and brings foreword
the next animal
· The machine is available in all rail types and can be customized
to suit the height difference between any bleed and dressing lines.
· The transfer machine has a mild steel internal chassis with
heavy duty external stainless steel covers
· It is driven using a motor and gearbox activated via an operators
foot pedal.
|
| Dressing
Conveyor |
· The
dressing conveyor moves carcasses from the transfer/legging station
to the weigh/wash area before the chills.
· The carcasses are indexed into the dressing conveyor using
a pneumatically powered in-feed lifter.
· It is normally set up as a stop start system but it can be
designed to run at a slower continuous speed.
· On a stop start system the conveyor moves the carcasses in
increments from one operator station to the next.
· It then stops for a preset period of time to allow each operator
carry out their respective job.
· The stop time combined with the amount of work to be carried
out at each station dictates the throughput of the system
· This is normally a "powered and free system" allowing
carcasses to be manually pushed along the rail in the event of a loss
of power on the conveyor.
· Twin rail is our preferred rail type though any rail type
can normally be accommodated.
· The conveyor is constructed in mild steel with a hot dip
galvanize finish
· It is electrically powered and driven via a Reduction Gearbox.

| Hide
Puller-Downward |
· This
machine is used to remove the hide in a downward pulling motion. It
pulls the hide from the tail area down along the back and finally
over the head.
· This machine is hydraulically powered.
· The two main operations of the machine are controlled via
metered hydraulic pedals
· The drum is rotated by a hydraulic motor and the main carriage
is moved up and down by two hydraulic cylinders (one mounted on either
side) both actuating simultaneously.
· The hide puller incorporates its own stainless steel stands
complete with built in apron washes, knife/whizzer sterilisers drip
trays and drainage system.
· Both the hydraulic power unit and electrical control panel
are built onto the machine frame meaning only electrical power and
air supplies are required from the customer.
· The chains detach themselves from the hide automatically
when the drum is unrolled.

| Hide
Puller-upward |
· This
machine is used to remove the hide in a upward pulling motion. It
pulls the hide from the forelegs up along the back and finally over
the tail.
· This machine is hydraulically powered.
· The two main operations of the machine are controlled pneumatic
or hyraulic levers
· The drum is rotated by a hydraulic motor and the main arms
are moved up and down by an hydraulic cylinder
· Both the hydraulic power unit and the electrical control
panel are positioned remote from the machine
· The chains detach themselves from the hide automatically
when the drum is unrolled.
· The frame and drum is normally constructed entirely in stainless
steel

| Evisceration
Table |
· This
conveyor is used to convey full green offal's from their removal point
via an inspection point to the green offal processing room.
· Our standard construction is a modular belt on a stainless
steel frame
· The system is electrically powered and driven via a reduction
gearbox.
· The advantage of the modular belt is its ease of maintenance
and it's versatility.
· The belt can swan neck up and down to different levels to
ensure ideal work heights for each job.
· Traditional stainless steel slatted conveyors are still available
though they are not as versatile
· Conveyors are custom built for every installation
|
| Green
Offal Handling conveyor |
· This
conveyor is an overhead conveyor used in the green offal processing
room to suspend green offal's during their progressive dismantling.
· The fully belly is lifted from the green offal conveyor whilst
at the same time having the intestine trimmed off.
· The remainder is then conveyor to the fat and paunch removal
points where the respective by-products are effortlessly removed.
· Finally the remaining tripe is cut down for washing and further
processing.
· The conveyor used is our clean-track system from which the
product is directly suspended by special attachments
· The conveyor is constructed predominantly in stainless steel
with all other parts being plastic
· It is electrically powered and driven via a Reduction Gearbox.

| Red
Offal handling conveyor |
· This
conveyor is an overhead conveyor used to suspend full red offal's
and convey them from their removal point via an inspection point to
the red offal processing area.
· The heads can also be suspended and conveyed on this conveyor
· This conveyor is synchronized with the main dressing conveyor
to ensure carcass and by-product correlation.
· The conveyor used is our clean-track system from which the
product is directly suspended by special attachments
· The conveyor is constructed predominantly in stainless steel
with all other parts being plastic
· It is electrically powered and driven via a Reduction Gearbox.
|
| Pneumatic
Rise and Fall Platform |
· All
rise and fall operators platforms built to the same design principal
but their size is dictated by the application and space available.
· The main frame is constructed from stainless steel box section
with the operator's platform attached using shouldered plastic rollers.
· The standard platform has a stainless steel box section frame
complete with a fibregrate floor and tubular handrail.
· Stands are available with or without hygiene equipment
· Stands with hygiene equipment have drip trays to catch wastewater.
It is then ducted into a slot in one of the legs from which it can
be piped away
· All stands are pneumatically actuated and usually controlled
via foot pedals although other options can be specified.
