Sheep & Goat Restraint Chain Conveyor Machine for Modern Slaughterhouses

Product Overview

Compared with manual driving or handling, the restraint chain conveyor offers:

• Improved animal welfare

• Reduced operator workload

• More stable positioning

• Higher slaughter efficiency

• Better consistency for halal processing

The equipment is widely used in:

• Sheep slaughterhouses

• Goat slaughter plants

• Halal abattoirs

• Medium and large meat processing facilities

Working Principle

Live sheep or goats enter the conveyor through the loading entrance.

The chain‑type conveyor gently supports the abdomen while lifting the animal so that all four legs hang freely. The conveyor then transports the restrained animal at a controlled speed toward the stunning or slaughter station.

Because the animal is properly supported throughout transportation, unnecessary struggling is minimized, allowing operators to perform stunning or halal slaughter more safely and efficiently.

Main Features

1. Chain‑Type Restraint Conveyor

Unlike V‑belt restraint conveyors, the chain‑type conveyor uses a chain plate structure with greater rigidity and durability.

Suitable for:

• Continuous production

• Heavy‑duty operation

• Large slaughter plants

2. Comfortable Abdominal Support

The conveyor supports animals underneath the abdomen.

Benefits include:

• Reduced stress

• Better animal control

• Stable slaughter positioning

3. High Processing Capacity

Designed for continuous industrial production.

Maximum capacity:
Up to 400 sheep/goats per hour.

4. Variable Speed Control

Frequency‑controlled drive allows operators to adjust conveyor speed according to slaughter capacity and workflow.

5. Durable Industrial Construction

Available materials:

• Hot galvanized steel

• Stainless steel

Main components include:

• Heavy‑duty chain plates

• Large driving drum

• Stainless steel protective cover

6. Easy Integration

Compatible with:

• Stunning box

• Halal slaughter box

• Bleeding rail

• Killing roller table

• Sheep carcass conveyor

Chain Conveyor vs Belt Conveyor

Selection Guide

Choose the Chain Type Conveyor if:

• The slaughterhouse operates continuously.

• Long‑term durability is a priority.

Choose the Belt Type Conveyor if:

• Lower investment cost is preferred.

• Medium production capacity is sufficient.

• Simpler maintenance is desired.

Application Case

Middle East Halal Sheep Processing Plant

A halal slaughterhouse in the Middle East upgraded its live animal handling system by installing the Sheep & Goat Restraint Chain Conveyor Machine.

Integrated with the stunning box, killing table and bleeding rail, the conveyor significantly improved production flow and reduced manual handling. The controlled animal positioning also helped operators perform halal slaughter more consistently while improving overall hygiene and workplace safety.

• 1. Heavy‑duty chain conveyor suitable for continuous production

• 2. Gentle abdominal support improves animal welfare

• 3. Stable transportation before stunning and bleeding

• 4. Adjustable conveying speed through frequency control

• 5. Corrosion‑resistant galvanized or stainless steel construction

• 6. Easy integration with complete sheep slaughter lines

• 7. Long service life with low maintenance requirements
