Sheep Restraint Belt Conveyor Machine for Sheep & Goat Slaughter Line

Product Overview

The machine uses a V‑shaped restraint conveyor structure to gently support the animal's abdomen while keeping the four legs naturally suspended. This design helps reduce animal movement, improves operator safety and provides a stable working condition for slaughter operations.

Compared with traditional manual catching methods, the restraint belt conveyor improves processing efficiency, reduces labor intensity and supports continuous slaughter line operation.

The equipment can be customized with adjustable conveyor width and angle according to different sheep breeds, production capacity and slaughterhouse layouts.

Working Principle

The live sheep or goats enter the conveyor from the holding area.

The V‑shaped belt system supports the animal through the abdominal area while the conveyor moves forward at a controlled speed.

During transportation:

• The animal body is gently restrained by the V‑shaped conveyor belt.

• Four legs remain suspended naturally, reducing uncontrolled movement.

• The conveyor transfers animals continuously toward the slaughter position.

• Operators can perform stunning, halal slaughter or bleeding procedures safely and efficiently.

The conveyor speed can be adjusted according to the slaughter capacity and processing requirements.

Technical Specifications

Application

Application in Sheep & Goat Slaughterhouses

The Sheep Restraint Belt Conveyor Machine is widely used in:

• Sheep slaughterhouses

• Goat processing plants

• Halal meat processing facilities

• Livestock abattoirs

• Meat export processing factories

It is mainly installed between:

Live Animal Holding Area → Restraining Conveyor → Stunning/Killing Station → Bleeding System

Typical production applications include:

• Small and medium sheep abattoirs

• Industrial sheep slaughter lines

• Automated halal slaughter systems

Application Case

Sheep Slaughter Processing Plant Project

A Middle East sheep processing plant installed the restraint belt conveyor system as part of its halal sheep slaughter line.

The equipment was integrated with:

• Live sheep holding pens

• Sheep killing box

• Bleeding conveyor

• Carcass overhead rail system

After installation:

• Animal transfer became more stable

• Manual handling was reduced

• Slaughter efficiency was improved

• The production line achieved continuous operation

Advantages

• 1. Improve Slaughter Efficiency
  Continuous transportation reduces waiting time between holding areas and slaughter stations.

• 2. Reduce Labor Requirement
  The conveyor replaces manual animal handling and reduces worker workload.

• 3. Better Animal Welfare
  The V‑shaped structure provides gentle restraint and minimizes unnecessary movement.

• 4. Easy Integration
  The machine can be connected with complete sheep slaughter lines including:

  • Stunning equipment

  • Bleeding systems

  • Overhead conveyors

  • Skinning equipment

• 5. Durable Construction
  Combination of galvanized steel and stainless steel provides:

  • Corrosion resistance

  • Long service life

  • Easy maintenance
