FUNCTION

On the cattle processing line, the body is moved with both of its back feet hanged with the process hook. Hooks are used in two ways as twin or monorail. In the twin rail system, hooks are designed capable of moving constantly within the system without leaving the rails. The hooks released from the carcass delivery part are sent up to the foot change apparatus through the conveyor.

Hooks operating at the Monorail system, are carried to the cutting area again with the hook carriers released upon delivery of carcasses. After cutting or splitting, hooks contaminated with blood and fat are cleaned by subjecting to hook washing apparatus before reuse.


TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Trunk of the twin rail hook is produced of special casting aluminum material and tested by treating with tension anneal. There are two roller bearings on this hook and there is catamite (kestamit) wheel manufactured specially around that bearing. Roller bearings are protected with a special sealing cover at both sides. Those hooks are at the capacity and flexibility to carry 2000 kg mobile load.
