Pigs slaughter

The food industry is one of the leading branches of economically developed countries. Specialized bidirectionality is the intended purpose of the profile industries:

1. Providing the population with high-quality food products.
2. Export of products to the neighboring countries.

Criteria for choosing workshop equipment

Regardless of species diversity, the slaughter line for pigs must meet the following standards:

1. Cost-effectiveness. A lot of energy is expended during the slaughtering and subsequent processing phase. New tools and devices for this process reduce energy costs, creating favorable competitive conditions for any of the industries.
2. Reliability. The slaughter line must be able to cope with significant loads in certain areas.
3. High-quality level. It is a cumulative characteristic that implies not only the reliability of all the components of processing mechanisms, a long period of operation, and the durability of the used devices but also the final quality of manufactured products, as well as compliance with technological standards.
4. Safety. There are many processes where a specific force is used, sharp cutting tools, and electric current, during the slaughter and butchering of animals.

Taking into account the production standards, the fulfillment of the norm per shift may differ as follows:

1. Up to fifty heads per hour. The movement of carcasses along the line occurs in manual mode through a pipe.
2. Over fifty heads per hour. It`s necessary to use more workers and increase the amount of equipment required for each section of the line, furthermore to expand the production facility to achieve this indicator. Also, the movement of carcasses ensures their automatic movement along the chain conveyor line.

The slaughter stage can be divided into a number of the following actions:

• The animal is brought into the pig’s stunning box to immobilize it.
• Slaughtering.
• Cutting off the limbs, the head.
• Scalding and bristle removal in the scalder
• Gutting – extraction of internal organs.
• Sawing up the carcass.

The listed operations are carried out in a semi-automatic mode. Each action must be supervised by a qualified operator of the line.
