Solution
Pig Processing
Scalding, dehairing and dressing stages built around an overhead rail.
Pig lines add a scalding and dehairing section between bleeding and carcass processing. The equipment in that section has to match the rail speed on both sides, so we plan it as part of one route rather than as separate machines.
We start from your plant layout and the throughput you need, then select equipment for each stage and confirm how the stages connect.
What we need to plan the line
- Required carcasses per hour
- Plant footprint and ceiling height
- Scalding and dehairing route
- Offal and by-product handling needs
- Stage 01
