To maintain a high carcass shelf life, the most effective way of chilling is air chillingnew tunnel, on an overhead, chain conveyor.
OPERATION
A standard overhead conveyor rests on a carrying chain with a pitch of 1 “. The suspended conveyor includes: drive, tensioner, straight raceways, vertical arches, chain carriages, stirrups, and horizontal-reversing arches, which, depending on the size of the poultry and the carcass suspension system ( one, two or more on one stirrup) can have different diameters: Ø 291, 340, 388, 436, 485 mm, and in some cases even larger. The chain conveyor is suspended from a support structure made separately w/ guidelines. Depending on the length and load, the conveyor can be equipped with one or more drives and tensioners. For optimum use of available space in the investor’s plant, the conveyor is usually installed in two levels.
BENEFITS
– the construction of individual elements and the rules of their connection ensure any shape and course of the conveyor adapted to the customer’s needs, – simple construction allows quick and easy replacement of elements , – construction of the conveyor based on a 1 ” support chain allows the use of different sizes of stirrups – at a distance needed for the species of poultry to be transported, – simple and clear construction ensures the possibility to reach individual elements, keep them clean and appropriate maintenance, – use of high-quality materials ensures durability and reliability of the device.
