The present application relates to meat processing technical field, specifically disclose a kind of carcass draining equipment and method for beef and mutton processing, including horizontal rotating frame;Vertical rotating frame, upper and lower ends with the upper and lower ends of the horizontal rotating frame rotate;Base, both ends of the horizontal rotating frame are rotatably connected with the top of the base;Horizontal drive device, installed at one end of base, for driving horizontal rotating frame to rotate;Vertical drive device, installed on horizontal rotating frame, for driving vertical rotating frame to rotate.The present application drives horizontal rotating frame to rotate by horizontal drive device, so that the orientation of meat body changes, so that the body fluid of meat body can be naturally drained from meat cavity, so that liquid cannot accumulate in meat cavity, so that the quality of every part of meat quality of meat body can be guaranteed.

An automated immersive chilling system wherein the system may comprise a shackle and a track. The shackle may be configured to cooperatively attach to a product to be cooled. The track may be configured to move the shackle along a processing line wherein the processing line may comprise one or more curved channels retaining a reservoir of a cooling medium. The shackle may be configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium. The shackle can be a rotating shackle that can be configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium by rotating the shackle in the reservoir of the cooling medium. The shackle may be further configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium by vibrating the shackle in the reservoir.

A method including, after at least hide removal and pathogen cleaning of a beef carcass, performing two or more carcass preparation operations on the beef carcass in a carcass preparation room that is separate from other hide-off processing. The method also includes cooling the beef carcass. The beef carcass undergoes rigor mortis during cooling of the beef carcass after the two or more carcass preparation operations are performed on the beef carcass. The method additionally includes, after cooling the beef carcass, performing fabrication floor processing on the beef carcass to separate the beef carcass into primal cuts. Other embodiments are described.

A method and apparatus are provided for thermal treatment of poultry appendages, such as chicken feet or paws. In this regard, the apparatus may include a thermal transport assembly that may be structured and dimensioned to be filled with a thermal treatment liquid (e.g., water, or the like) that is regulated at a designated target temperature. The poultry appendages may be pumped from a picker assembly to the thermal transport assembly such that the appendages are at least partially submerged in the thermal treatment liquid while being transported through the thermal transport assembly. The thermal treatment liquid may be maintained at a specified temperature, and the thermal transport assembly may be operated such that the poultry appendages are at least partially submerged in the thermal treatment liquid for a specified amount of time.

A method of chilling poultry carcasses is disclosed. It comprises A) arranging the poultry carcasses in a first chilling section having an air temperature of 8-18 °C for a first period of 30-75 minutes and applying a water mist having a water temperature of 5-20 °C onto the poultry carcasses at intervals of 5-70 seconds during said first period; and B) arranging the poultry carcasses in a second chilling section having an air temperature of 0-2 °C for a second period of 60-180 minutes. A chilling system comprises: a first chilling section comprising an air inlet and a plurality of water misting nozzles, a first air management system, a water supply system, a second chilling section, a second air management system, and a control unit for controlling the first air management system, the water supply system, and the second air management system.

The automatic immersion cooling system may comprise shackles and a truck. The shackles may be configured to be cooperatively attached to the product to be cooled. The truck may be configured to move the shackles along a processing line, which may comprise one or more curved conduits holding a reservoir of a cooling medium. The shackles may be configured to move the product within the reservoir to stir the cooling medium. The shackles may be rotatable shackles, and the rotatable shackles may be configured to move the product within the reservoir and stir the cooling medium by rotating the shackles within the reservoir of the cooling medium. The shackles may further be configured to move the product within the reservoir and stir the cooling medium by vibrating the shackles within the reservoir.

The present disclosure relates generally to a mobile abattoir apparatus and attendant components and systems. In particular the present disclosure relates to a mobile abattoir apparatus comprising: a chiller vehicle comprising a crane adapted for lifting an animal carcass into a carcass processing area and an assembly adapted for enclosing the carcass processing area, the assembly comprising a roof extension engaged with one or more retractable screens and at least one cooling area adapted for storing portions obtained from the animal carcass.

A system for forming blocks of frozen material comprising: a heat exchange module comprising a conduit for receiving material to be frozen, the conduit having an internal wall defining an internal recess and an external wall spaced from the internal wall to define a space for receiving a heat exchange fluid; a material supply unit for supplying a flow of material to be frozen into the internal recess of the conduit; a controller for controlling the delivery of the heat exchange fluid to the heat exchange module to cause the material present in the internal recess to freeze; and an extractor for extracting the block of frozen material from the conduit; wherein, the internal recess of the conduit is configured such that at least a portion of an upper or lower surface of the block of frozen material is formed to have a non-planar surface along its length.

Systems and methods for rotating a product during processing including a shackle system including a trolley, a rotator, and a rotating shackle and a track. The trolley is coupled to the track and configured to undergo translational motion along the track causing the shackle system to move along the track. The rotator is configured to undergo rotational kinematics causing rotation of the rotating shackle.
