Whitening Line for Pork Snouts
Customer Inquiry
The customer requests an installation for the hygienic treatment of pork snouts using a hydrogen peroxide solution. The line must be suitable for batch processing, easy to clean (RVS 316), include four dipping stations, and ensure a safe working environment.
The goal is to transform the raw product into a white, puffed dog snack with a light yet firm texture. The peroxide treatment enhances appearance, odour, and microbiological safety.
Filling and handling of the crates
The pork snouts are placed in stainless steel crates with a bottom release mechanism. The crates are manually hooked onto an overhead crane, operated via a remote control. The operator moves a filled crate to an available dipping station.
Immersion
The line consists of four dipping stations. A crate is placed into the peroxide bath via the overhead crane. A dipping arm presses the product inside the crate downward to ensure full immersion.
Emptying
After the treatment, the crate is positioned above the intake hopper of the discharge conveyor. The operator manually opens the bottom, allowing the product to drop vertically from the crate without tilting. The collection bin is specifically designed to receive the product without damage and with minimal splashing, ready for transport.
Transport and discharge
A conveyor belt transports the treated pork snouts to the next processing area. A radar sensor at the end of the belt detects the product height and automatically adjusts the speed to prevent accumulation and ensure a consistent discharge.
Safety
The installation is fully enclosed with a safety fence and an access door equipped with an electric lock. Access to the hazard zone is controlled via a request button.
Upon request:
- The dipping stations automatically stop and move to a safe position;
- Once the area is safe, the door is unlocked.
The door can always be opened from the inside.
There are three emergency stop buttons around the installation that halt all operations, and two additional emergency stops near the discharge conveyor that stop only the belt.
