LPT 312: Abattoir Practices and Animal Products Technology (1+1)

THE DIP LIFT SYSTEM

• This is suitable for any size of pig as well as calves and sheep.
• It consists of a cage 213 cm long, 68 cm high and 53 cm wide which, when the animal enters it, descends vertically to the CO₂ pit where it remains for the pre-set time and then automatically returns to ground level, ejecting the unconscious animal for shackling and bleeding.
• The greatest advantage of the system is that it allows several pigs to be stunned simultaneously, assisting immediate per-slaughter handling.
• This is suitable for small meat plants.
