The invention relates to a scalding device for slaughtered animals, in which an overhead conveyor slaughtered animals are transported to the brewing tub. There are fixtures in the brewing tub and intended for the transport of the slaughtered animals.

In the known scalding devices, the animals, in particular the piglets, do not always get in the same way Laige and falling into the brewing tub from different positions, which often means that ίο the hot water spurts out of the brewing tub, which is annoying for the operator.

In addition, the animal often comes to lie in such a position that it is in the conveyors in the Brewing tub is jammed, which is why the operator must continuously monitor that the situation is correct, and if it is not, it must be quick for a change in the animal's position ensure that it lies perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the brewing tub. Before implementation During the scalding, a plug must usually be inserted into the animal's throat. If that Animal is hanging upside down in the overhead conveyor, it is quite inconvenient to use this plug, as long as the animal is in this position. The animal is hung on a sliding bar and is released from the bar before being placed in the brewing tub. This triggering must take place before the Inserting the stopper, and because of the fast pace a man will not be able to perform both operations.

The invention is intended to completely or predominantly eliminate the disadvantages mentioned in the brewing device will. For this purpose it is provided that the overhead conveyor is transverse to the direction of transport Brewing tub is guided over the brewing tub that the slaughtered and drooping in full length Animal bumps against a stop with its head while the rear end of the animal is using of the overhead conveyor and the stop in a horizontal position, and that under the Overhead conveyor a holding fork is arranged, which holds the slaughtered animal in an approximately horizontal position receives and holds transversely to the transport direction in the brewing tub, with the holding fork in a lower Position in the brewing tub is movable. It is relatively easy to ensure that when introducing the animal is not sprayed out of the hot water into the scalding tub. The animal is in such a position that it is easy for a man to put the plug in the throat of the To use the animal and trigger the animal. This scalding device for slaughtered animals

Work can be carried out at an appropriate working height. The animal can be pivoted by means of the Holding fork can be moved to a lower position at the bottom of the brewing tub. This becomes a allows the animal to be placed quietly in the scalding water, so that no scalding water is sprayed out takes place.

The stop can be formed from the edge of this brewing tub or arranged on the edge of the tub be. As a result, the horizontal position of the animal will be so close to the vat that it will move from this location only has to be guided a short distance in order to get into the scalding water.

The holding fork can be pivoted about a horizontal axis transversely to the transport direction in the brewing tub. According to the invention, the holding fork has a flat trough-shaped cross section. The animal takes one Position in the longitudinal direction of the trough, so that it is also inserted in the correct position. The holding fork can consist of parallel rods that extend forward in the direction of transport extend in the brewing tub like a comb, and the rods can be arranged so that the rod-shaped Carrier organs in the brewing tub can pass between the same.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the brewing device according to the invention is shown. It shows

A rectangular tub 1 is provided with an endless conveyor running in the longitudinal direction of the tub from 'rod-shaped drivers2 (Fig. 2) provided, which is located in the lower track of the conveyor horizontally at a low level above the floor of the Move brewing tub 1. A holding fork 3 is arranged on the charging side of the brewing tub, which forms a shallow trough and which has a number of support rods between which the driver rods 2 run through. The holding fork 3 can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 4. The axis 4 is via an arm 5, which is connected to the end of a piston rod 6 of a cylinder 7 for a pressure medium is connected, movable. With the help of this cylinder, the holding fork 3 of the full Lines shown horizontal position are brought into the position shown by dashed lines. In the In the upper position, the holding fork is held with the weight of an animal.

An inclined overhead conveyor is arranged above the holding fork 3 and consists of a round rod 8 and a conveyor chain 9 arranged above it, which is guided in a rail. The rail has a slot on the bottom through which the chain drive elements protrude. At the end of the loading process 'of the overhead conveyor is on the upper edge of the tub 1, a stop 10 in the form of a long roll stored. On the opposite side of the tub, the rod 8 has a hook-shaped one Completion 11, and the chain 9 is guided around a sprocket 12. Near the sprocket 12 is a electrical switch 13 available.

At the other end of the brewing tub 1 is an elevation 14 on the bottom of the tub, the top thereof comes close to the curved part of the path of the rod-shaped driver members 2. A angular transducer 15 can be pivoted about an axis 16. The swivel path at the end of the transducer 15 extends at a short distance from the elevation 14 in the path of the rod-shaped Driver organs 2 into it.

The scalding device is intended for the treatment of piglets. The slaughtered piglets are up the rod 8 is suspended by means of a chain and a hook. The piglet hangs upside down down and can slide on the pole. The piglets are sent to the scalding tub shortly after slaughter introduced. The head end of the piglet hits the stop 10, while its upper end is passed over from the conveyor to the other side of the brewing tub «1. The piglet will thereby brought into an almost horizontal position in which it is convenient to put a plug in insert his trachea and release the suspension from his hind legs. From the horizontal Position, the piglet falls down the holding fork 3, which at this time is in its upper position. Then the holding fork 3 is pivoted downwards. Then a set of the driver organs 2 takes over the piglet and moves the animal on the bottom of the vat. At the other end of the vat there will be the piglet pushed up by the driver organs 2 over the elevation 14, after which the receiver 15 is swung up and takes the piglet so that it is ready for further processing can be delivered.

So that the animal gets into the receptacle 15, a powerful jet of water spells into the tub 1 from the pipe out. At the bottom of the brewing tub 1 is the water pipe 17 and behind the sensor 15 a suction line 18 is arranged. The conveyor chain 9, the holding fork 3, the conveyor with the driver elements 2 and the "transducer 15 are controlled in a manner not shown that their movements to at the right times.
