Abattoir Practices and Animal Products Technology

DOORS

• These should be wide enough to allow passage of product without contact with the doorway.
• A width of 1.37 m (4.5 ft) is usually adequate.
• Doors must be constructed of rust-resistant material. If made of wood, they should be covered with rust-resistant smooth impermeable material.
• Double-acting doors should have a glass (reinforced) panel at eye level.
• Plastic strip doors are not much suitable for fitting in abattoir because they are difficult for proper cleaning.
