Drawer unloading system

For drawer unloading systems, the proces starts with unloading a frame with drawers full of poultry from the truck.

then the drawers are destacked, to be supplied to hanging area by conveyors.

After emptying frame and the drawers are washed and disinfected,

before filling the frame back with empty drawers and loading it back on track.

Drawer unloading system from UNIMASZ can be fited into slaughterhouses with small live bird handling area.

Operation:

1. The unloading process begins with placing a container (in a version with a stacker – 2 containers on top of each other) with full drawers on the loading conveyor using a forklift. The receiving conveyor is equipped with a detection system that ensures the correct detection of the container and the ability to control the conveyor from the forklift.

2. Next, the drawers are destacked, i.e. one level of drawers is pulled out of the container onto a chain conveyor that feeds the drawers to the suspension area.

3. The container, emptied of drawers goes to the water bath, container washer, and then to the disinfection station.

4. The empty drawers are turned upside down, soaked, and then washed.                           The clean drawers are turned back upside down.

5. The clean drawers are inserted into the container in columns by a stacker.

6. The whole load is picked up by a forklift from the unloading conveyor to load the container onto a trailer, from where it will go for the next batch of poultry for slaughter.

Drawer unloading system – benefits:

The drawer unloading line has been designed and manufactured to improve the working conditions of the poultry reception area, increase the automation and efficiency of the process, and reduce poultry damage during transport to the hanging area.

The line can be adapted to both four- and five-level containers with drawers transporting chickens, hens, ducks, and geese. One drawer can contain up to 60 kg of poultry.

In the UNIMASZ solution, work proceeds smoothly and safely. The installation is controlled from the main control panel, which monitors the operation of the machines that make up the unloading process.
