Introduction
For small-scale pig slaughterhouses aiming to balance efficiency, hygiene, and cost-effectiveness, NPW introduces a specialized pig slaughter line designed for a daily capacity of 100 head per day. This system is engineered to streamline the entire process from stunning to chilling, ensuring consistent throughput while meeting rigorous food safety standards.
Key Features and Workflow
The line integrates several critical stages, each optimized for minimal labor input and maximum product quality:
- Live Pig Handling and Stunning: The process begins with humane stunning using electric or CO2 methods, followed by secure shackling and hoisting.
- Bleeding and Scalding: After bleeding, carcasses move to an efficient scalding tank with precise temperature control (typically 60-68°C) to facilitate hair removal. A continuous conveyor ensures uniform scalding.
- Dehairing and Polishing: A robust dehairing machine with rubber paddles removes bristles effectively, followed by a polishing unit to scrape off remaining hair and epidermis.
- Evisceration and Splitting: The line provides ergonomic workstations for safe evisceration, followed by carcass splitting using a band saw.
- Washing and Inspection: High-pressure spray washers clean the carcasses, and inspection points are integrated for veterinary checks.
- Chilling and Storage: Finally, carcasses proceed to a pre-chiller or chilling room to meet temperature requirements.
Built for Hygiene and Durability
All contact surfaces are constructed from food-grade stainless steel, and the design features smooth, crevice-free joints to prevent bacterial growth. The line complies with international hygiene standards, making it suitable for export-oriented facilities. Its modular construction allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime.
Benefits for Small-Scale Operations
This 100-head/day line is specifically tailored to the needs of small plants:
- Space Efficiency: The compact layout minimizes floor space requirements.
- Labor Savings: Automation reduces manual handling, lowering labor costs and improving worker safety.
- Scalability: The system can be upgraded to higher capacities as your business grows.
- Cost-Effective: Optimized energy and water consumption reduce operational expenses.
