Cattle Head Cleaning Machine

Product Overview

The machine adopts a stainless steel cylindrical structure with a hanging system, head hooks, tool sterilizer, and adjustable support feet. The open design provides convenient access for operators while maintaining a clean and organized working environment.

Compared with traditional manual cleaning methods, the cattle head cleaning machine improves processing efficiency, reduces contamination risks, and helps slaughterhouses meet food hygiene requirements.

The standard model QE‑C218 is mainly used for hanging and cleaning cattle heads, with a compact structure suitable for beef slaughterhouses and by‑product processing areas.

Working Principle

After cattle heads are removed from carcasses during slaughter processing, they are transferred to the head cleaning area.

The operator hangs the cattle head securely on the stainless steel head hook installed on the machine.

During cleaning, the operator can wash, trim, and inspect the head while it remains suspended in a stable position.

The cylindrical stainless steel structure provides a controlled working area, while the drainage design allows wastewater and residues to flow away quickly.

After cleaning and inspection, the processed cattle heads are transferred to the next stage, such as:

• Head inspection

• Tongue and cheek meat processing

• Packaging

• Cold storage
