1. Slaughtering
Once the livestock arrives, it’s stunned and slaughtered. The carcasses are hung up and the fur or bristles, rumen, intestines and other offal removed. Before processing any further, the carcasses are cooled in a separate chiller.
Technical Requirements of the Belts
The carcasses are usually transported hanging on chain or overhead conveyors. However, it’s belts that usually convey rumen and intestines. These conveyor belts need to withstand wear and tear and be easy to clean.
Compliance with top hygiene standards is crucial when offal is conveyed to the next processing stage.
Our solution
For conveying rumen, our plastic modular belts series 6.1 made of polypropylene (PP) are an excellent choice. Because you can clean them with hot water and their hinge pins are made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), they boast very long service lives.
HACCP belts with top hygiene standards combined with EU and FDA compliance are suitable for conveying offal to the next stage.
We offer coatings and belts for each conveying task at this step of the process.
