All Things Considered

UniLoad takes a holistic approach to live bird handling. It takes animal welfare, transportation, labour costs, equipment maintenance and hygiene into account and offers a complete solution for the discerning poultry processor.

Protect Animal Welfare

UniLoad complies with strict animal welfare guidelines. Drawers and modules are designed to ensure good animal welfare from catching to shackling. In the reception area, the system is designed for slow conveying of live birds and there is no dumping or tipping out – shackling takes place directly from the drawer.

Large, Larger, Largest

UniLoad uses large size drawers and offers unique configuration options. You can choose between three big drawer sizes to best fit the width of your lorry, and four- or five-tier modules for full height utilisation.

The Reception System

Configurable to Suit Your Processing

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.

  • Maximized plant throughput
  • Modular to fit capacity and washing requirements
  • Automatic, gentle transport
  • Less wear and tear on the conveyor system

Strict Biosecure Measures

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.

  • Separate drawer and module washing for best cleaning result
  • Configurable washing and disinfection units
  • Soaking of drawer before washing to loosen debris
  • Less wear and tear on the conveyor system
Soaking the drawers before washing helps the debris to come loose and be removed more easily in the drawer washer
