Stunning systems by Carbon dioxide (CO2) for pigs are essential in any new line or renovation of a pig slaughter line. The main reason is the quality of the meat that this system achieves, thanks to the decrease in the pH of the meat, which translates into an improvement in the PSE index of the same. This system also removes petechiae from the meat, while preventing the breakage of backbones and hams. A correct handling of the animals, according to the Mecanova instructions, reduces the stress of the animal, and facilitates compliance with the European Animal Welfare Regulation CE No. 1099/2009 of the European Council.

FUNCTIONALITY: The immobilization operation of pigs to be stunned requires stunning boxes designed for this task, complying with the animal welfare regulations. This equipment requires a previous individual tunnel of conduction and access to the box, and a bleeding table after the process. For the stunning work, it is recommended an electrical equipment with impedance control and data recording that comply with the regulations. The animal accesses the box from the tunnel thanks to a sectional door, which leads it to the box. The box does not include a built-in floor, so it is made of concrete, and so it is the floor of the tunnel of conduction, giving the animal security, and facilitating its entry, stunning and subsequent exit. The design of the equipment allows the animal to be held by a pneumatic side door that, while it’s being controlled by the operator, presses on it, immobilizing the animal. The Mecanova Stunning Box allows an easy access to the stunning point with tongs. The exit of the animal is quick thanks to the fact that the same door that immobilizes it is raised, releasing the animal and letting it fall on the bleeding table. This prevents the animal from being damaged or suffering, and thus eliminating petechiae in the meat and breaking ribs and spines, ensuring compliance with animal welfare.

FUNCTIONALITY: The humid and especially corrosive enviroments in certain meat industries, as well as the need to keep the facilitie free from any kind of oxidation make it necessary to install a stainless twin track system with hangers. This rail, besides of the own advantages offered by a twin track system, provides lifespan to the structure, a high load capacity, and an unbeatable appearance. Due to the above features, besides of being installed in a slaughterhouse, cattle cutting room, it is especially indicated in the salting and post-salting area of hams, sausage dryers, line with racks in sausage ovens, among others.

MECANOVA develops industrial many primary cuts and low production.. We can distinguish two basic types of cutting according to the cut position: 1.Vertical (for pigs and cattle) This is done directly on the average hanging conveyor channel or route, dropping the pieces on tables or collection belts.despiece-horizontal. 2.Horizontal (especially pork): Through a descender a cutting table, the average channel on a table to separate stands: The ham, The palette, The saddle, The rack. The primary parts are automatically routed to its line of secondary cutting or boning.
