Pigs pneumatic stunning box

Humane slaughter improves the meat products’ quality produced by the half-carcass slaughter line. It stabilizes the pH level and extends the meat’s shelf life. It is necessary to let the animals rest for up to 10 hours, with watering, which calms the pigs before slaughter. Stunning in boxing is also a mandatory standard for the humane industrial pigs’ slaughter.
An important aspect of using a pig stunning box is the operator’s and the animal’s safety; this characteristic is key for this type of equipment. It is worth noting that the device for stunning pigs is not included in the delivery package of the box. The electrical stunning type by applying pincers to the head to transmit an electrical impulse, is typically used on pigs. Gunpowder stunning tools can also be used. An industrial box for pre-slaughter stunning of pigs performs the function of fixing the animal before humane stunning. Next, the carcass is fed to the receiving table and then lifted onto the overhead transport system using a differential lift or chain hoist. Pneumatic power is used to operate pneumatic cylinders, which immobilize the animal with pressure before stunning. The box is made of AISI 304 stainless steel. One operator is sufficient to operate the device for pig stunning.

The nuances of working with slaughter equipment

Quick and humane animal immobilization is only possible using the correct meat processing equipment. So, it is necessary, to purchase a well-designed stunning box that operates using pneumatic cylinders. One of them is used as a shutter. That moment when the entrance flap rises, the cattle are allowed inside. After the damper returns to its original position, thereby blocking the exit. Following this, a pig stunning equipment is used. When the process is complete, another pneumatic cylinder opens the side wall slightly so that the carcass falls on its side and rolls out for further processing in the workshop.
The pneumatic type equipment, which operates using compressed air, is often used for the pig slaughter procedure. Due to this pig stunning box, the slaughter procedure is quick and painless. At the same time, a minimal amount of adrenaline enters the animal’s bloodstream.
Due to the usage of high-quality equipment for stunning pigs, it is possible to significantly increase production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
