Non-Penetrating Pneumatic Cattle Stunner for Modern Beef Processing Facilities

Product Overview

The equipment is powered by compressed air and features a durable stainless steel body, compact structure, and easy operation design. It is suitable for continuous use in commercial slaughterhouses where hygiene, safety, and operational efficiency are important requirements.

The pneumatic cattle stunner can be used together with cattle restraining boxes, knocking boxes, and other cattle handling equipment to create a safer and more standardized stunning process.

It is widely applied in beef processing facilities, halal slaughterhouses, and livestock abattoirs worldwide.

Working Principle

The non‑penetrating pneumatic cattle stunner operates by using compressed air as the power source.

After the operator positions the stunner at the correct stunning point on the cattle head, the pneumatic trigger activates the internal impact mechanism. The compressed air drives the impact piston forward at high speed, generating a controlled impact force through the non‑penetrating striking head.

The impact causes temporary unconsciousness, allowing the following slaughter operations to be carried out safely and efficiently.

After each operation, the piston automatically returns to its original position, preparing the equipment for the next stunning cycle.
