Slaughter accessories 10

The Turning Box is designed for the cattle entry positioning and discharge station in a beef slaughter line.
Driven by a pneumatic system, it provides head restraint, neck support, and coordinated control of the tilting bottom floor plate and the side panel opening, allowing cattle to be positioned securely and released smoothly into the next station. This helps improve line efficiency and operational safety.

Description

Key Functions

1) Pneumatic Turning Control

Equipped with one complete pneumatic turning control system, ensuring fast response and stable operation, suitable for continuous production line conditions.

2) Head Restraint & Neck Support

The unit is fitted with a cattle head fixing device to ensure stability during positioning and discharge:

  • Dual-cylinder head clamping for secure head restraint
  • Single-cylinder neck support to stabilize the neck area

This design effectively reduces animal movement and improves handling safety and controllability.

3) Adjustable Tilting Floor (0–45°)

The bottom floor plate is driven by two pneumatic cylinders, allowing the tilt angle to be adjusted freely within a 0°–45° range, ensuring an optimal discharge angle according to cattle size and process requirements.

4) Side Panel Lifting / Opening Coordination

The side panel is equipped with a pneumatic lifting cylinder, enabling adjustment of the side panel opening position.
By coordinating the floor tilt angle and the side panel opening, cattle can be released smoothly without obstruction, improving discharge efficiency and operational stability.

Structural Design & Reliability

  • The bottom floor plate and its supporting structure are reinforced to ensure high rigidity.
  • The structure is designed to remain stable under repeated load and impact, ensuring long-term operation without deformation.

Applications

  • Cattle entry / positioning station in beef slaughter lines
  • Stations requiring secure restraint and controlled discharge through a tilting floor and side panel mechanism
  • Suitable for medium to large-scale slaughterhouses and automated slaughter line projects
