Stunning & Bleeding

Stunning and bleeding is the first critical process in sheep slaughter, directly determining animal welfare outcomes, meat quality and regulatory compliance. Henger's stunning and bleeding system integrates three core stages — live sheep conveying, humane electrical stunning and overhead bleeding — ensuring every sheep is rendered insensible painlessly and fully bled within the optimal time window, establishing the foundation for all subsequent processing operations.

FAQ

Is handheld electric stunning safe for operators?

Handheld electric stunners feature double insulation protection, overcurrent protection, and safety locking mechanisms. The operating handle is ergonomically designed with anti-slip grips. Equipment undergoes strict electrical safety testing with stable output voltage within specified range.


What voltage is used for sheep stunning? Is it safe?

Standard sheep electric stunning voltage is 70-100V AC (50Hz), with single stunning duration of 1-3 seconds and current controlled within 300-1000mA, strictly complying with OIE and EU Regulation 1099/2009 on animal welfare.


How does the V-type conveyor improve bleeding efficiency?

The V-type conveyor uses a V-shaped trough design for secure hanging with uniform spacing. Automatic guiding mechanisms ensure sheep align during transport, with the bleeding conveyor synchronized to maintain stunning-to-bleeding interval within 15 seconds.


What is the stunning-to-bleeding interval required by regulations?

According to OIE Animal Welfare Code and EU Regulation 1099/2009, sticking must occur within 15 seconds of stunning. Our bleeding hanging conveyor is linked with stunning equipment for automatic time interval control.
