Skinning & Peeling

Skinning is one of the most technically demanding operations in sheep slaughter, directly affecting both final carcass quality and pelt integrity. Henger's skinning system employs a proven two-stage pre-skinning plus mechanical removal process — standardized incision and opening via balanced pre-skinning, followed by smooth hide pulling with the automatic skinning machine — achieving efficient, damage-free continuous skinning across the full production line.

FAQ

Does the lamb skinning machine damage the sheepskin?

The lamb skinning machine uses bionic mechanical claws with adjustable tension control, simulating manual skinning for intact sheepskin removal with a tearing rate below 2%.

What is the skinning speed (sheep/hour) of your skinning equipment?

Standard lamb skinning machine processing speed is approximately 100-300 sheep/hour, depending on average sheep weight, skin attachment, and operator skill.

Is the skinning machine suitable for both lamb and goat?

Yes. Mechanical parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to livestock species, accommodating different body sizes and skin characteristics of sheep and goats.

What material is the skinning blade made of? How is it maintained?

Skinning machine mechanical claws and contact parts use food-grade 304 stainless steel or high-hardness alloy steel with polished and passivated surfaces for corrosion resistance.

How often does the blade need sharpening or replacement?

Blade replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and skin type. Under standard conditions, evaluate blade wear after processing approximately 3,000-5,000 sheep.
