Sheep Carcass Conveyor Machine for Sheep & Goat Slaughterhouse

Product Overview

The conveyor provides continuous carcass movement during:

• Skinning

• Head and hoof removal

• Evisceration

• Veterinary inspection

• Carcass cleaning

• Weighing

• Chilling

• Cutting and deboning

Compared with traditional manual handling, the automated carcass conveyor system improves production efficiency, reduces labor requirements and maintains better hygiene standards.

According to different factory layouts and processing requirements, the sheep carcass conveyor can be designed in two main structures:

• Horizontal Type Carcass Conveyor

• Vertical Type Carcass Conveyor

Both types can use tube rail or dual‑orbit rail structures and can be integrated into complete sheep/goat slaughter lines.

Working Principle

The sheep carcass conveyor works through a motor‑driven rail transmission system.

The operating process:

• Sheep carcasses are hung on stainless steel hooks after bleeding.

• The drive mechanism moves the chain or trolley along the overhead rail.

• Carcasses travel continuously through each processing station.

• Workers perform different operations while carcasses remain suspended.

• The conveyor transfers finished carcasses to the next processing stage.

The conveyor speed can be adjusted according to production capacity and processing requirements.

Product Types

1. Horizontal Type Sheep Carcass Conveyor

Horizontal Carcass Processing Conveyor Machine

The horizontal conveyor is mainly designed for straight‑line carcass transportation.

It is suitable for slaughterhouses with:

• Long production workshops

• Straight processing layouts

• Medium and large capacity requirements

Main Applications

Used for:

• Skinning

• Evisceration

• Inspection

• Cleaning

• Weighing

Features of Horizontal Conveyor

Straight Transportation Layout

The carcasses move horizontally along the processing line.

Advantages:

• Simple structure

• Easy installation

• Convenient maintenance

Suitable for Long Workshops

Recommended when the factory has sufficient length space.

Stable Processing Speed

Provides consistent carcass spacing for worker operations.

2. Vertical Type Sheep Carcass Conveyor

Vertical Carcass Processing Conveyor Machine

The vertical conveyor is designed for factories requiring height utilization and flexible layout.

It uses vertical lifting and descending sections to connect different processing areas.

Main Applications

Suitable for:

• Multi‑level slaughterhouses

• Limited floor space factories

• Complex processing layouts

Features of Vertical Conveyor

Space Saving Design

Uses factory height space efficiently.

Flexible Layout Connection

Can connect:

• Different production areas

• Different processing heights

• Chilling rooms

Suitable for Automated Lines

Works well with modern continuous slaughter systems.
