The Waterbath Stunner from Dutch Poultry Tech is a key component in the poultry processing line, positioned at the start of the killing process. Its purpose is to render birds unconscious before the kill cut, ensuring both animal welfare and consistent processing results. Correct stunning is essential not only for humane handling, but also for achieving high product quality and efficient downstream operations.
Using the proven water bath principle, birds are transported through a water-filled chamber where an electrical current is applied in a controlled manner. This process ensures effective stunning while maintaining product integrity and minimising damage. The system is designed for continuous operation, making it suitable for both medium and high-capacity processing plants.
Key features include:
Operation based on the water bath stunning principle for consistent results.
Adjustable voltage and frequency (50–400 Hz) to suit different bird types and processing requirements.
Multiple control panel options, including versions with bird counting and logging for process verification.
Automatic water level control to maintain stable and reliable operation.
