LINCOload is a well-proven live bird handling system installed at processing plants worldwide. The system enables good logistic practices and allows for automation in the reception area, including destacking and equipment cleaning. This drawer and module system is designed for good animal welfare and efficient transport.
LINCOload is designed for markets that demand reliable transport equipment that is easy to use and maintain. The steel modules and the sturdy plastic drawers are designed for daily farm use, transport and constant cleaning.
The increased demand for higher throughputs and consistent product quality make poultry processors worldwide turn to more automation. LINCOload is designed to protect the birds while transferred from the farm to a high-speed slaughter line and offers full automation on the reception system.
When the truck arrives at the processing plant, the full modules are unloaded using a forklift and placed in the lairage area. When the birds are ready to be processed, the full module is placed on a conveyor system for automatic module and drawer handling. Smooth conveying and destacking in the reception system keeps the birds calm. Birds stay in the drawers until shackling to reduce stress – no tipping or dumping of live birds is applied.
It offers tips on how to avoid bird injuries during catching and loading.
UniLoad is a modular and scalable reception system suitable for all capacities. The size of the UniLoad drawer allows for more birds in each drawer while still protecting animal welfare. Fewer drawers are necessary and conveyors can run at low speed while still feeding a high-speed slaughtering line. Low speed reduces both bird and equipment stress.
UniLoad takes hygiene seriously by focusing on biosecurity in drawer and module design and by providing highly efficient cleaning equipment for the reception system. To avoid cross-contamination between flocks, the bacterial load on the transport equipment is minimized by thorough wash-down after each live bird load.
Soaking the drawers before washing helps the debris to come loose and be removed more easily in the drawer washer
