Our company has many years of experience in the automation of the poultry slaughtering line. For years we have been cooperating with a company providing complete poultry slaughtering and cutting lines. Our systems successfully operate, among others in Poland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, and Uganda. Based on the completed projects, we are able to provide automation systems for every device in a poultry slaughterhouse.
Examples of automated devices on the slaughter line are shown below.

Unloading

A container unloading system for the poultry. The line consists of container conveyors and box conveyors, actuators, solenoid valves, hydraulic lifters and lifts. In addition, the unloading line is equipped with devices such as a destacker and a container stacker, as well as a destacker and stacker for boxes. The system is also equipped with fully automated crate and container washers. The line can also be expanded with gross and tare weight of boxes, which enables monitoring and reporting of the number of poultry that has passed through the unloading.

Scope of works:

  • electrical design
  • equipment selection
  • Wago driver software
  • prefabrication of power and control cabinet
  • site assembly and commissioning of the system

Cooling line

The cooling line control system is designed to control the operation of 28 drives to move the 3.5 km chain. Chicken carcasses are hung on the chain and they have to spend the appropriate time in the cooling chamber. The control is based on the control of the chain tensions in such a way as to "discharge" the tension by means of the differences in speed.

Scope of works:

  • electrical design
  • delivery of I&C cabinets
  • Siemens driver software
  • installation of cable routes
  • starting the system

Overhanger

The overhanger connects two lines with suspended chickens (for example, slaughter and gutting) - it synchronizes their speed and position. The system simultaneously controls the drives for slaughter and evisceration. Thanks to readings from encoders placed on both lines, the lines are synchronized with each other. Moreover, the overhanger controls the foot cutter and the clamping cylinder.

Scope of works:

  • the I&C project
  • driver software
  • delivery of control cabinets
  • site assembly and commissioning

Weight segregation

Sorting by weight can be performed in two ways: by means of an overhead chain driven by a motor, punches driven by pneumatic cylinders, weighing cell and optical sensors, and by means of a calibrator consisting of conveyors, a traverse scale and scrapers driven by pneumatic actuators. The device is used for sorting (on the basis of the weight) of poultry carcasses. Based on the readout from the scale, the system decides whether to assign a carcass to a given punch. The device allows you to collect containers of a certain weight from all available poultry carcasses or sort carcasses by assigning a specific weight range to a given scraper. All weighed carcasses are saved and, on this basis, production reports are generated.

Scope of works:

  • the I&C project
  • delivery and installation of the control cabinet
  • Wago driver software
  • software for the proprietary visualization system
  • object commissioning

Vacuum waste transportation

The waste transport system consists of vacuum pumps, cyclones, drop points, throttles and valves. Vacuum pumps create a vacuum in the circuit. Then, through the appropriate opening of dampers and valves, thanks to the vacuum, the waste is transported from the collection points to the cyclones and then to the waste containers.

Scope of works:

  • electrical design
  • delivery and installation of the cabinet
  • Wago driver software
  • software for own visualization system
  • system commissioning and object tests
