FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to slaughtering animals, and in particular to sealing animal carcasses. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In this month's book, unless stated otherwise, when a document, clause, or knowledge is mentioned or discussed, that document, clause, or knowledge, or a combination thereof, does not represent-a priority date, general knowledge, or Know about trying to solve any problems related to this manual. There are various methods to remove the internal organs of animal carcasses. Among them, these maggots can minimize the risk of contaminating the carcass, such as the contents of the internal organs such as the stomach, intestine or urethra. It is known to use a plug to seal the orifice of an animal carcass, such as a throat, anal diaphragm or urethra. These plugs have been made from a variety of materials including plastic materials such as polyurethane, and after the plugs have been fixed in place, the internal organs of the carcass can be removed and the internal organs removed for subsequent processing. An example of this know-how is described in the international patent application PcT / au98 / 008 18 (international publication number WO 99/16320) by the inventors Finney and Gregor. This Finney and Gregor The Wrigley description describes a method for sealing the anus of an animal carcass, and an anal seal. The anus seal includes an embolus inserted through the anus of the carcass into the rectum, and a clamping device to hold the embolus in place for easy handling. Carcass. The plug system disclosed in Finney and Gregg is a frustoconical plastic molding. The difficulty with this configuration is that the plastic anal seal needs to be retrieved from the internal organs before the internal organs can be further processed. In order to solve this problem, plugs have been made from recycled paper. However, these recycled paper plugs easily absorb liquid and cause knots. 4 This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 \ 297). 5. Description of the invention ( 2) Disintegration of structural integrity can then cause carcass contamination when body fluids leak through saturated plugs. Therefore, there is a need for a plug that can maintain structural integrity in the environment of use and does not need to be retrieved from the internal organs after removal from the carcass. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention thus provides, in one embodiment, a plug for sealing the orifice of an animal carcass, the plug consisting of a material containing compacted plant fiber bodies, which are combined with-or multiple binding agents Formation-An embolism capable of absorbing body fluids without losing structural integrity. Preferably, an embolization system according to the present invention is composed of a molding mixture, the molding mixture includes: (i) 40 to 60% by weight of a plant fiber body, and the plant fiber body is added with 0 to 2% by weight as required The starch phases are combined; and (ii) 10 to 55% by weight of water and 3 to 10% by weight of one or more water-soluble binders or adhesives. "Body fluids" as used throughout this specification and the scope of the patent application includes all fluids in the carcass and may include fluid components of the contents of the intestine and urethra, as well as any other fluid substance in the carcass. The shape of the plug is preferably to fit For sealed orifices, the plug may have a possibly partially hollow cover, which may have a generally conical or frustoconical shape. Preferably, the plug has a slightly arcuate profile to reduce penetration for forming a forked seal Possibility of tissue wall of the orifice. In a preferred configuration, the plug is bell-shaped. The plug may include a shaft or handle attached to the cover, and this configuration can use the shaft or handle to insert the cover into the opening. When the cover It roughly shows a bell shape with a handle and the handle extends from the cover. The paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm). 5. Description of the invention (3), the plug may appear roughly mushroom-shaped. Or, if the shaft or handle is not included, the shape of the plug may be removably received-one end of a long-handle-like tool to insert the plug into the animal carcass. This shape Can include providing a flange or socket for receiving the guard. When the plug is bell-shaped, the flange or socket is usually arranged adjacent to the periphery of the bell. Although the plug has no, The sharp corners of the tissue used to form the orifice are not torn, and the outer surface of a plug according to the present invention is not necessarily smooth. It has been found that according to the present invention, it is advantageous to use a convex or concave inward from a generally flat surface. The fibrous body is formed by a slightly rough surface, and the nature and range of the convex portion or the concave portion is better so that the cover is not easy to tear the tissue used to form the orifice. It may be by another aspect according to the present invention. A method is provided for forming an embolus. The embolus is preferably composed of a biodegradable material. The embolus is preferably composed of a material that does not need to be retrieved from the internal organs. Therefore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides an animal carcass A method for removing internal organs, which includes the following steps: (a) inserting a plug provided according to the present invention into one or more orifices of a carcass, thereby substantially sealing the orifices to prevent leakage of body fluids; (b) by cutting Orifice The surrounding tissue is used to cut off the internal organs from the carcass; and (c) the internal organs are removed from the carcass and hermetically joined by plugs. It is understood that it is not necessary to seal all the orifices of the carcass according to the present invention. It is also understood that, according to the present invention, after the orifice is cut from the carcass, a plug can be inserted into an orifice. In this configuration, step (b) of the above method occurs 559552 A7

Before step (a). A plug according to the present invention can be formed by a method described herein, which method comprises molding a molding mixture by increasing the temperature and pressure sufficient to compact and combine the plant fibrous body to form a monolithic article. Therefore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a molding mixture for molding an embolus according to the present invention. The mixture includes · 40 to 60% by weight of a plant fiber body. The fibrous body is combined with about 0 to 2% by weight of starch as needed; and (11) 10 to 55% by weight of water / ❻ and 3 to 10% by weight of one or more water-soluble binders or adhesives. One aspect provides a method for making an embolus for post-sealing an animal carcass orifice, the method comprising the following steps: (a) preparing a moulded mixture by:-using 40 to 60% by weight And (U) adding 10 to 55% by weight of water and 3 to 10% by weight of one or more water-soluble combinations. (B) Pour the mixture into a mold at a temperature of at least 60 ° C; (0 The mixture in the mold withstands temperatures in the range of ^ to ⑼ ^ and 1000 to 7000 pounds per square inch (PSI) Range pressure for a period of time The stung water is transformed into steam, which causes the mixture to fill the mold while maintaining a moldable state;

V. Description of the invention (5) (d) Reduce the pressure so that the vapor is formed in the mold without causing an explosion, while keeping the mixture easy to mold; (e) Increase the temperature and pressure to 100 to 300 : Range of temperature and pressure in the range of 500 to 1500 pounds per square inch; ⑴ remove steam or allow steam to escape until the molded plug is approximately dry; and (g) remove from the mold Systemic embolism. In the preferred embodiment, 'this method further includes the following steps: (h) at least partially coating the molded plug with one or more binding agents or adhesives; and Heat to substantially dry and cure the coating. The present invention involves using steam to force the mixture to distribute in the mold, so any excess solid material is driven out of the mold by steam. Once the mixture has been dispersed in the mold, steam is removed or escaped through the gap or a valve. Without this vapor, the solids in the mixture would not be dispersed in the mold, and the result would be compressed at the bottom of the mold, in which case the mixture would no longer be in an easily moldable state. Preferably, the method comprises another step of trimming the edges of the plug before applying the plug in step (h), which is usually done using a die-cutting machine. Other dressing methods can be used within the scope of the invention, including polishing and / or sanding the edges of the plug. Because the main component of the mixture is plant fibers, the plant fibers will be bonded together by an adhesive that will harden when cured, and the cured plug will not be at 559552 A7.

V. Description of the Invention (7) Step (c) is preferably applied for a short period of time in a pressure ranging from i 000 to 7000 pounds per square inch, and most preferably in the range of 3 to 10 seconds. In (c), the mixture in the mold is subjected to a temperature of about 29 degrees. Preferably, before the pressure in step (e) increases, the pressure in program step (d) is reduced to a pressure in the range of 50 to 150,000 pounds per square inch. Preferably, the pressure in step (d) is reduced to atmospheric pressure and then increased in step (e) to a pressure in the range of 500 to 1500 pounds per square inch, more preferably about 1,000 pounds per square inch. The pressure in the preferred ' program step (e) is increased to about i400c. The process step ⑴ usually occurs for a period of 10 seconds to 30 minutes or longer, until the product is approximately dry in the temperature range of 10 ° C to 25 ° C. Plant fibers can be taken from any source '. For example, appropriate plant fibers may be selected From the group consisting of: rice tube, wheat tube, sugar cane, corn leaf, banana leaf, corn grain, root, grass, flower, recycled paper or a combination thereof. Fiber size will affect the texture of the final embolism, The demand will determine the required fiber size. Preferably, the plant fiber body used to make the plug according to the present invention has a length in the range of Oi mm to 5 mm. More preferably, the length should be between 1 mm to 2 Between millimeters, but it is also possible to use plant fibers that are milled (for example, milled) to a maximum size of less than 1 millimeter. The binder or adhesive used to bind the fiber is water-soluble and preferably environmentally friendly and does not require Removed from internal organs. It is preferred not to use non-biodegradable plastics or synthetic polymers as the binding agent of the present invention, so this method provides a biodegradable plug. However, binding agents or The biodegradability of the agent is not important. It is preferable to use a water-based biodegradable adhesive according to the present invention, so the final embolism is biodegradable. Preferably according to the present invention 559552 A7 -------- B7_ V. Invention Note (8) ---- Use a latex-based adhesive (such as chloroprene rubber). Preferably, any added starch used in accordance with the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: Honing flour or any other root flour, corn starch, flour, and combinations thereof. Although corn starch and flour are suitable as an additive for this month, the results are not as good as using other starch sources. Modify any added starch. The fiber and any flour are initially mixed together in step (a) (i) to produce a homogeneous mixture. And, if the liquid ingredients have come into contact with the flour before it is evenly mixed, the flour Agglomerates will form and holes will form in the plug when starch is removed during processing. Once all ingredients have been combined in procedure steps (a) (ii), the mixture is stored in a sealed container Until step (b) is required to prevent the mixture from drying out. The mixture is preferably stored at room temperature to prevent hardening before use. The mixture can be stored at the freezing point of the mixture to a temperature in the range of about 25 C. Preferably, the mixture is stored at ^ Temperatures up to ^ its range. Also, at higher temperatures, the mold may be shaped because of the combination of water and an organic mixture. The preferred 'procedure step (a) occurs at a temperature of 25 or below 25 ° C. Can be used Water of any quality, for example, non-potable water such as sea water, and normal public water may be used. Converting water to steam during the treatment process can help the mixture to be evenly dispersed in the mold, because pressure can prevent the mixture from expanding. The mixture is not foaming and the role of the steam is to disperse the mixture in the mold. Once the dispersion is complete, remove the steam to allow the product to dry. The amount of pressure applied to the mold will affect the density of the final plug. The paper size of the plug applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇χ297 公 酱) -11- 559552 A7 ___ Β7 5. Description of the invention (9) The harder it is, therefore, if a more flexible embolic is required, a lower pressure should be used. When pressure is applied to the mold, any excess material is squeezed out of the mold. The pressure applied in step (c) is preferably about 4000 pounds per square inch. The strength of the plug depends on the following four factors: (a) fiber body. The finer the fibrous body, the higher the density and therefore the greater the plug strength. (b) Type of adhesive. Different types and grades of adhesive will have different effects on the strength of the plug. Different crystallization rates and viscosities of different adhesives will form different plugs. Crystallization will determine the initial strength development rate. The faster the crystallization rate, the faster the strength development rate. Also faster. Viscosity affects the inherent strength of the adhesive film, the viscosity of the solution, and the solids content. The higher the polymer viscosity or the higher the molecular weight, the higher the film strength, the higher the viscosity of the adhesive, or the lower the solid at a known adhesive viscosity. (c) Structural design of the mold. Product design may strengthen the overall product. For example, a plug with ribs or flanges will be stronger than a plug without ribs or flanges. (d) The type of fiber. For example, sugarcane fiber can provide molded products that are inherently elastic but not brittle. In contrast, rice can provide a hard and brittle product. The mold consists of two parts, a top and a bottom, and is usually made of metal. However, it is possible to use a mold with three or more parts (with the limitation that a top and a bottom are still required) . In use, the mold is preferably compressed vertically (i.e. downward and upward) so that the top compresses against the bottom. Usually there is a gap of ^ mm between the top and bottom of the mold. The 12 paper sizes are applicable to Chinese national standards (CNS> A4 specifications (21〇χ297 公 酱)) 559552 5. Description of the invention (10) to make steam and excess The mixture leaves. The surface of the mold is preferably smooth, that is, the surface is not rough or has a sandpaper-like feel. Any protrusions in the mold must not interfere with the process of removing the plug from the mold, and the mold must be suitable Let the steam escape. For example, the mold may include a port for releasing steam, and the shape and size of the mold depends on the plugs made. It may be by attaching a heater to the mold or passing the mold through an oven to add ... The mold can be supplied by any known device, including hydraulic presses, pneumatic presses, or mechanical presses. Pressure is usually provided by hydraulic presses because these presses provide consistent pressure. It is advantageous to use an embolus according to the invention during viscera to minimize the risk of contamination of carcass with bodily fluids contained in the internal organs. When discarded, the plug made by the method of the invention The plug will disintegrate or decompose to form an environmentally friendly substance. This is because all the materials used are non-toxic and mostly natural edible. If the plug is used, it will wait for the decomposition, because the main component of the plug is plant fiber, so the fertilizer produced Can be used as a fertiliser. And 'Plant fiber can be taken from unwanted grain parts, such as rice tube, sugar cane, or any other fiber that is not directly consumed, which will help to discard the original at the harvest site, factory, etc. These waste materials that need to be burned to cause air pollution, the use of this raw material can help reduce this air pollution. Also, during the method of the present invention, bacteria can be killed by applying high temperature. A mold used according to the present invention may contain One or more valves located on the top and / or bottom of the mold to remove steam. The paper size is suitable for the CNS A4 specification (21GX297 mm) 559552

5. In the description of the invention (i), when the mixture is placed in the mold, the openable valve system is closed; when steam needs to be removed, the valve will open. The valve removes steam from the mold, allowing the product to dry faster, removing steam more quickly and making the product less susceptible to combustion. The valve is operated mechanically. Once the temperature in the mold has risen above the boiling point of water, it means that the mixture will be evenly dispersed in the mold and the valve can be opened to release steam. When the mixture has been uniformly dispersed in the mold, it will produce just enough hardening without entering the valve with the steam. When the mixture is placed in the mold and pressure is applied to the mold, the valve will close, thereby completely closing the mold except for the gap between the top and bottom of the mold. When the water or moisture in the mixture is converted into steam, this steam will flush upwards, forcing the mixture into all open spaces and filling the entire mold. The extra or excess mixture will be squeezed out of the mold. Generally, when the temperature reaches between 100 and 12Oc, preferably about 110C, the mold is opened in step (d). Valves reduce plug drying time and therefore processing time. And if no valve is used for 'steaming' / it will take longer to escape from the side and exit through the gap between the top and bottom of the mold. If steam takes too long to remove, the heat will burn, boil, or burn the center portion of the plug, but the sides will only be dried. It is preferred to have a valve every 4 square inches. The valve cannot be placed on the side of the mold because it prevents proper dispersion of the molded mixture. If the valve is fixed to the side of the mold, the steam will escape through the side to reduce the internal pressure. This reduced steam pressure may cause the mixture to fail to flow into the space above the valve and cause incomplete plugging. All ratios in this description are weight percentages. 14 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 public love) 559552

The molding method according to the present invention uses the molding mixture of Example 1j40 to produce animal plugs, which have good quality and are suitable for use in the animal slaughter method according to the present invention. Other molding mixtures were prepared according to a similar example to the side composition, the difference was that the fiber selected from the group consisting of the following $ groups was used instead of adding fiber as a source of fiber: wheat tube, tea, rice tube, mixed Carbonaceous residues of rice tubers in rice tubes, corn nuggets containing leaves, and burned coconut husks. According to the molding method of the present invention, a molding mixture containing each of the above-mentioned fiber sources is used to produce an animal plug, and an animal plug containing each type of fiber is compared with the above-mentioned animal plug containing sugar cane. Although there are quality differences in animal embolism depending on the type of fiber used, these differences do not significantly affect the performance of animal embolism and all embolisms are known to be acceptable. f Among the above-mentioned fiber sources, only rice husks have any innate starch content, and the remaining above-mentioned fiber sources do not have innate starch content and thus do not increase the starch content of the molding mixture. Therefore, when using the moulded mixture of rice making examples i to 40, the proportion of starch appears slightly larger than the number listed in the table. 0 Note that for examples containing a known type of fiber, changing the cost of the binder will not affect Animal embolization quality made according to the present invention. However, 疋 'is based on environmental protection factors, because water-soluble binders are biodegradable and are soluble in non-aqueous solvents, which are generally non-biodegradable. Therefore, water-soluble binders are preferably used in the molding mixture. The preparation of the mixture uses wheat tube or rice tube or sugar cane pulp or corn leaf and corn pulp combined fiber ^ sizing-559552 A7 ___-___ B7_ V. Description of the invention (17) The preparation of the respective mixtures, the grinder will mix the mixtures Grind to a size in the range of 0 · 丨 mm to 5.0mm. In a mixer (container with fan-shaped blades rotating at a speed of 5000-700rpni), grind the fiber with tapioca flour and sweet potato. The flour or corn flour starch (if used) is thoroughly combined to form a molded mixture. When adding liquid ingredients, take care to ensure that the starch does not form clumps, because when the water forms steam, the starch agglomerates will cook and foam, which will cause air trapping or holes in the molding plug, so any clumps formed should be dispersed Piece. A latex-based water > cereal adhesive is then added to the water and the mixture is further stirred until the entire mixture is evenly mixed. Mold The mold 20 shown has a top mold portion 21 and a bottom mold portion 22. The top mold portion 21 has a valve 23 on the upper surface 24, and the bottom mold portion has a cavity 25 to receive the mixture 26. When the mold 20 is closed, there is a gap 27 of about 1 mm between the top mold portion 21 and the bottom mold portion 22. Once closed, pressure is applied to the upper surface 24. The valve 23 ′ is operated manually or automatically via a controller (not shown). The valve 23 is normally opened when the temperature of the mold 20 is about 110 ° C (see Fig. 6). Once the object 28 has been dried, the mold 20 is opened and the object 28 is removed. In the flow chart of Figure 1 for the production of a plug from a mixture, this method first preheats the mold 20 to 70C at A. Heating is required only when the mold 20 is used for the first time, because the formation of the previous object 28 In a continuous procedure, the mold 20 will be at about 60 ° C and will actually cool to 70 ° C at b. Once formed, the article 28 is removed from the mold 20 at C and trimmed, sealed, and further processed as needed. Once the mold 20 reaches about 70 C, the mold 20 is opened (see D in Figure 2), and the paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 559552 A7 -----___ B7____ V. Description of the invention (IS) The overflow is mixed Yang 26 (see E). The mold 20 is intended to be flooded to ensure that sufficient mixture is evenly and completely filled in the mold 20. Because when the mixture 26 is compressed under pressure, the solids in the compressed mixture will be forced to go The bottom of the mold, and water will separate from the mixture and squeeze out through the gap or air vent, so the mold 20 is not left to cool. If the temperature exceeds 100 ° C, the moisture will turn into steam too quickly and may cause an explosion. However,当 模 20 When the mold 20 When heat (7 (rc to 10 (rc)) and the material is compressed, humidity will immediately turn into vapor and begin to look for escaping spaces or gaps. This action moves the solids in the mixture into all open spaces in mold 20, The excess mixture seeps out of the mold 20, this action usually takes 5 to 10 seconds. Then the mold 20 is closed (see F in Figure 2). When closed, there is usually between the top 2 and the bottom 22 of the mold A gap of about 1 mm 27 'allows steam and excess mixture to escape. Once the mold 20 is closed, a pressure of about 4000 pounds per square inch is applied to the top of the mold 20 (see G) for about 3 to 10 seconds until The excess mixture starts to leave the gap 27 between the mold parts 21 and 22. When the excess material appears, it will indicate that the mixture 26 has been evenly dispersed in the mold 20. The pressure can also reliably maintain the shape of the plug (that is, it will not foam) and The density / porosity required to control the plug. When the mixture is seen to stop overflowing. When the mixture is out of the mold and the mixture is still moldable, the pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure and then increased back to 500 to 15,000 pounds per Square inch fan In the example, we used a pressure of about 1000 pounds per square inch, and then the temperature was increased to about 140 ° C, and the pressure was reduced to prevent the explosion due to the water turning into steam too quickly. At this time, the steam Will rush out through all openings, and the faster the steam can escape, the faster the plug will solidify, which reflects that having a functioning valve 23 enables

559552 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention The importance of steam escape. Once the temperature has reached about U (rc), valve 23 opens to increase the rate of steam escape (see H). When it is observed that steam has effectively ceased to escape, approximately 14.0 minutes later (depending on the valve's Quantity), the mold 20 is opened and the substantially dry object 28 is removed (see I). Due to the overflow, the edge of the plug must be trimmed with a die-cutting machine or manually (see J). Then spray or soak as needed to Additional adhesive to coat the plug (see K) and cure the adhesive by heating at 100 ° C to 140 ° C for about 10 seconds to 10 minutes. In the example, I use a temperature of about 130 ° C for about 8 minutes The plug can be further coated with styrene butadiene rubber to further enhance its fluid resistance (see L). Usually about 3 grams of chloroprene rubber per square foot of plug is applied by spraying or soaking Figure 8. Figure 8 shows a top of the mold (100), which contains the mold part (101) and the valve (102). The valve (102) sits on a complementary shape of the mold part (101) The cavity (103) is free to move relative to the die (101). The cavity (103) terminates in the release hole (104) When the valve (102) is in the closed position (not shown), the valve end (105) is suitable for sealing the release hole (104). The valve (by applying pressure to the top end (106)) 102) Close, when the valve (102) is in the open position shown in Figure 8, steam can escape from the mold (100). Coating As described above, the animal plug of the present invention can be at least partially coated To enhance its fluid resistance. Tests have been performed to measure the absorbency of coated, partially coated and uncoated animal plugs, and each plug tested has been inserted with a water-based material. 22 This paper applies Chinese national standards (CNS) A4 size (21〇χ297 & ^) 559552 Ⅴ. In the balloon of invention description (20) 卩 ㈣) and periodically measure the water of embolism content. The plugs, which had been completely coated with a water-soluble coating on all surfaces, showed negligible water absorption over a period of 5 hours. The fully coated plug was then removed from the neck of the balloon filled with the fluid flow control device, and it was observed that the plug remained in shape without distortion for more than 3 days. Figures 12 to 15 record the relative water absorption of four types of partially coated and uncoated animal plugs with different shapes, the shape of which depends on the intended use. Figures 12a, 13a, 14b, and 15b are related to the coated plugs on the inner surface, and Figures 12b, 13b, 14a, and 15a are related to the corresponding uncoated plugs. By comparing the graphs of each of the four types of animal embolisms, it can be understood that compared to an equivalent uncoated embolus, a partially coated animal embolus absorbs a smaller amount of water within a known time. When the absorption measurement has been completed, each plug is removed from the neck of the respective balloon. It was observed that the partially coated plugs remained in shape without distortion for more than 3 days, and the twist was tested by applying moderate finger pressure to each plug. Conversely 'the uncoated plug started to twist and lose shape within 24 hours of removal from its balloon. The meanings and glyphs of "including" used in this specification and the scope of the patent application do not limit the claimed invention and exclude any changes or additions. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the modifications and improvements of the present invention. The improvement is planned to be within the scope of the present invention. 559552 A7 B7 V.
