1, The Slaughter Process Design is the most important thing before purchasing slaughter equipment.

The design of the slaughter process is the most important thing, and it is also the thing you should be most concerned about. When purchasing slaughter equipment, many customers have been considering the price and neglected the design of the slaughtering process.

The quality of the slaughtering process design directly affects the business objectives and operating profits of the company in the future. A good slaughtering process is convenient and easy to operate. It should not only pay attention to the orderly installation of equipment but also pay attention to operability. Unreasonable placement of procedures will result in a waste of labor costs. For example, the pulley return system is generally recommended for mass slaughter companies. Although the initial investment is large, it can save labor costs in the future.

What needs to be considered in the design of the slaughter process?

In terms of slaughter process design, each country has its own standards for abattoir requirements. But their ultimate goal is to ensure that people eat high-quality meat. Generally, when we design the slaughtering process, we mainly focus on the following aspects.

• In the design of the slaughter process, the first thing to consider is sanitation and quarantine, which is the first line of defense to prevent meat products. Sanitation and quarantine include sanitation and disinfection of animals, vehicles, personnel, and tools.
  Animal health quarantine includes live animal quarantine, pre-slaughter quarantine, post-slaughter quarantine, and meat product quarantine.
  Vehicle quarantine includes vehicle entering factory quarantine and leaving factory quarantine. Staff quarantine includes tool disinfection, disinfection pool, air shower, disinfection hand washing device, etc. Tool disinfection includes tool disinfection facilities, tool disinfection time, and so on.

• How to improve the quality of meat products is our second consideration, because whether the slaughtering process is reasonable and standardized will directly lead to meat quality problems. For example, different slaughter methods will also have an impact on meat quality. Traditional slaughter methods tend to cause the animal’s blood flow to cease, and the blood remaining in the blood vessels will affect the appearance of the meat. The modern automatic bloodletting line uses a hanging bloodletting method to allow enough bloodletting time for the animal, and the meat quality is better.

• Determine the market positioning of the abattoir
  The abattoir must have a clear goal for itself in the market, such as the daily slaughter volume, the slaughter degree (whether it is white strips, split refrigeration or deep processing), the size of the plant, etc. For example, the customer estimates that 300 pigs will be slaughtered every day, and the actual market demand is far greater than the customer’s supply. This is the performance of the slaughter company’s wrong market positioning.

• Employment costs
  In the selection and design of the slaughter process, labor cost is often the most overlooked issue. Some only choose slaughter equipment with a low degree of automation to save initial investment costs and increase subsequent production costs. The higher the degree of modernization, the lower the employment cost.

• After-sales maintenance of the product. The slaughter production line is an assembly line with closely connected parts. Only after finishing the work at the previous station, it can enter the next station. If you choose a product with more wearing parts, it will be troublesome to repair. Once a problem occurs, the entire plant will be shut down to cooperate with the machine maintenance, which will increase the company’s operating costs and delay the production of meat products.

Therefore, the design of the slaughter process in the slaughterhouse must be based on the actual situation of the enterprise, do sufficient market research, and formulate a slaughter process plan suitable for the future development of the enterprise.

2, Principles for selecting slaughterhouse equipment

After choosing the slaughtering process design, a list of slaughter equipment and a detailed list of materials can be listed. Just like the picture below.

Of course, the product list is only an ideal list that meets the design requirements. and you have to select products according to your own situation.

The selection of slaughtering equipment mainly follows the following principles:

• Complete pre-sales, mid-sales, and after-sales service systems. We believe that a comprehensive after-sales service system is a priority for selecting a supplier of slaughter equipment. Regardless of which slaughter equipment, it is indispensable for the seller to provide certain technical support in the use, maintenance, and maintenance of the equipment.

• Whether the manufacturer’s after-sales service is followed up in time, what is the reputation of the industry, and the market reputation, as far as possible, we should have a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturer’s strength, products, and services.

• The principle of high quality

The abattoir should also consider: whether the technology of the slaughter equipment is mature, whether the production stability is good, whether it is safe and easy to operate, whether it will affect the quality of meat products, the level of failure rate, the length of service life, the impact on the environment and pollutants. What is the amount of emissions? and so on.

• The principle of practical convenience

According to the demand for slaughter equipment and market changes, the changes in local natural, economic, and social conditions, the same production line must be planned for a long time. Whether the assembly line equipment can adapt to the changing needs of the market, whether it can carry out multi-level deep processing, and whether it meets your actual production needs. There will be no problems such as idle resources and delayed production arrangements. Don’t blindly pursue high-end equipment, the most important thing is the right one!

• The principle of economy and energy saving

The higher the cost-effectiveness of the slaughtering equipment, the better the quality and technology of the equipment, but the price is relatively lower, and the higher cost-effectiveness can meet the requirements of process requirements, production requirements, and quality. The configuration and connection of the equipment are compact, balanced, and Coordination, improvement of labor productivity, and improvement of technical and economic value are indispensable important conditions, as far as possible to achieve small investment, low cost, high profit, and economically reasonable.

3, Determine the list of products that meet the requirements of the slaughtering enterprise

Consult and discuss the customer’s selection list and make appropriate adjustments and improvements according to customer requirements. The final list determined by both parties will appear as an important part of the contract.

4, Discuss the installation and commissioning of abattoir equipment

5, Sign contract

The buyer and the seller sign the purchase contract, the buyer pays the deposit, and the contract begins to execute. The seller delivers the goods in accordance with the delivery method agreed in the contract.

6, Prepare goods for shipment

We produce goods according to the equipment list, and the preparation time of goods is determined according to the size of the slaughtering line, generally 3-90 days. After the goods are ready, we will contact the buyer to confirm the shipment.

7, Installation and commissioning

After the buyer receives the goods, he promptly informs the seller to arrange installation and commissioning matters.

8, Staff training

After the slaughterhouse equipment is installed and debugged, we have conducted induction training for employees in accordance with the contract, which has reached the standard for normal operation of the slaughter company.

9. After-sale service

The execution of the sale and purchase contract is just the beginning of our service. After that, you will receive calls or emails from our after-sales service team from time to time to track the use of product operations. Hope you can respond in time. We will provide timely solutions to the problems encountered by customers in operation, and also provide us with valuable experience in better customer service in the future.

This is the whole process of purchasing slaughter equipment. After reading this article, maybe you have other questions, please contact us.
