Project description
STORM WATER BATH STUNNER
Storm water bath stunner uses electric stun process to stun birds, it is effective to kill and fast bleed out process. Storm provides normal frequency Stunner electric panel and high frequency electric panel, frequency 0-400 & 0-1000Hz.
Storm water bath stunner Poultry uses electricity to stun the birds prior to slaughter to ensure the effectiveness of a good bleeding procedure and of course essential for animal welfare. Storm can provide a conventional water bath stunner or a high frequency stunner for all customer and geographic requests.
Operations
The most conventional way of stunning is by means of a water bath. The birds, that hang in the shackles of the killing overhead conveyor by their feet, are lead through the bath, in which only their heads are immersed. In the water bath an electrode is placed which is connected to the control unit. The other electrode is formed by a stainless-steel shackle guide, that touches the shackles which are placed above the bath. In that way an electric current is lead from the electrode in the water bath to the water, through the head and body of the bird to the feet, from the feet to the shackle and shackle guide.
The water bath can also be used for high frequency stunning. The advantage of high frequency stunning over 50 or 60 Hz is, that the electric current at high frequency tends to run along the surface of the birds. This decreases the number of haemorrhages, which benefits to meat quality. Frequencies used are 400 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz. To obtain a sufficient stun, a period of 8 seconds is required.
