The meat rail system is mainly used for the transportation of meat and raw materials in meat processing plants, food processing plants, slaughterhouses. The track system not only saves labor but also reduces the problem of food contamination during handling, which greatly improves the safety of food. Different food processing companies have different requirements for meat track systems. Especially in the slaughterhouse, the rail system is indispensable slaughtering equipment.
Classification of Meat Track Systems
According to the shape of the rail, it can be divided into a double rail system, tube track system, and flat track system. The double-track and the flat track are mainly used in pig and lamb slaughterhouses, and the pipe track is mainly used in slaughterhouses such as cattle and donkeys. According to the track material, it can be divided into stainless steel track and galvanized track. Meat food processing enterprises mainly purchase stainless steel meat rail systems, while the galvanized track is used for raw material transportation for non-food processing.
The structure of the slaughterhouse rail system
The slaughter rail system is mainly composed of I-beam, track main body (angle steel, round tube, or flat steel), hanger, pressing piece, curved track, switch, rail breaker, etc. The rail system for automatic conveying also needs to be equipped with rail transporters, especially for meat processing enterprises with high requirements for mechanization, most of which usefully automatic rail transport systems.
The length of the tail can be customized according to the size, and the turning is realized by means of a curved track and turnout. For the slaughterhouse, the slaughter rail system belongs to the over head equipment, which is distributed in various places in the slaughterhouse where it is needed.
Pros and Cons of Meat Rail Systems
advantage
Safe and convenient
save labor
Improve food safety
shortcoming
The meat track system needs pulley hooks to complete when it is in use. The Pulley hook is vulnerable equipment.
The slaughter track system has been in a high humidity environment, and the pulley and the track have been rubbed for a long time, which is prone to rust over time.
Therefore, the main body of the track (triangular steel, round pipe, or flat steel) also needs to be maintained and replaced in time.
Issues to Consider in Rail System Design
- The height requirement of the track from the ground
- The connection between the tracks of different processes in the slaughterhouse.
- The meat rail system needs to be spread to every corner of the slaughterhouse
- Pay attention to the spacing between the two rails
