Livestock Slaughter Line and Factory Setup
A livestock slaughter line is a complete industrial system designed for the humane stunning, religiously compliant slaughter, bleeding, dehiding, evisceration, cooling and cutting of cattle and similar large animals under controlled hygienic conditions. The line produces carcasses and primals ready for further processing or distribution.
From an industrial perspective, livestock slaughter is important because it combines animal welfare requirements, hygienic design, efficient blood collection, skin removal and rapid chilling to achieve food safety and product quality. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.
Primary materials and inputs include live animals, process water, detergents, disinfectants and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of stunning devices, slaughter platforms, bleeding systems, dehiding machines, carcass conveyors, cooling tunnels and cutting equipment.
The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new livestock slaughter plant as well as existing operators who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.
Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey slaughterhouse in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing facility in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.
Production Line Overview
The livestock slaughter line is engineered as an integrated process system covering animal reception and quarantine, stunning, slaughter, bleeding, dehiding, evisceration, chilling and cutting. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 50 to 200 animals per day depending on species and market requirements.
The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: animal reception and quarantine, stunning (capacity 80–120 animals/h), religiously compliant slaughter, bleeding (up to 100 animals/h), dehiding (60–100 animals/h), organ separation, carcass cooling (up to 5 tons per batch) and cutting.
Main machinery groups include stunning devices, slaughter platforms (manual or hydraulic), bleeding systems, dehiding machines, carcass conveyors, cooling tunnels and cutting stations. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, process water, steam or hot water, wastewater treatment and refrigeration.
Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation and the selected capacity. Quality control covers ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, hygiene, chilling temperature and carcass quality. Finished carcasses are stored in cold rooms before distribution or further processing.

Products
An industrial livestock slaughter line produces whole carcasses, halves, quarters and primal cuts depending on market requirements and downstream processing needs.
Raw Materials for Livestock Slaughter Factory
Raw material selection and quality control begin with healthy live animals. Process water, approved detergents and disinfectants are critical for hygiene. Packaging materials are used for final carcass or primal protection.

Manufacturing Process
- Reception and Quarantine – Live animals are received and held for health inspection.
- Stunning – Animals are stunned at a rate of 80–120 per hour before slaughter.
- Slaughter – Religiously compliant slaughter is performed on the slaughter platform.
- Bleeding – Blood is drained efficiently (up to 100 animals/h).
- Dehiding – Skin is removed by dedicated machines (60–100 animals/h).
- Evisceration and Organ Separation – Internal organs are removed and separated.
- Cooling – Carcasses are chilled in tunnels (capacity up to 5 tons per batch).
- Cutting – Carcasses are broken down into primals or retail cuts as required.
Machinery & Equipment
- Stunning Device – Renders the animal unconscious prior to slaughter. Position: first process stage after reception. Importance: animal welfare and process safety. Quality impact: incomplete stunning affects subsequent operations. Maintenance: electrical or mechanical systems and safety interlocks. Sahi Rasa support covers design, installation, repair and spare parts.
- Slaughter Platform – Provides a controlled position for religiously compliant slaughter (manual or hydraulic). Position: after stunning. Importance: process compliance and operator safety. Quality impact: correct positioning affects bleeding efficiency. Maintenance: hydraulic systems and platforms.
- Bleeding System – Collects and drains blood. Position: immediately after slaughter. Importance: hygiene and product quality. Quality impact: incomplete bleeding shortens shelf life. Maintenance: pumps, pipes and collection vessels.
- Dehiding Machine – Removes the hide at 60–100 animals per hour. Position: after bleeding. Importance: efficiency and hide quality. Quality impact: hide damage reduces by-product value; incomplete removal affects carcass presentation. Maintenance: knives, drives and tension systems.
- Carcass Conveyor and Cooling Tunnel – Moves carcasses between stations and chills them. Position: mid to end of line. Importance: logistics and food safety. Quality impact: slow or incomplete chilling allows bacterial growth. Maintenance: conveyors, fans, evaporators and insulation.
- Cutting Equipment – Breaks carcasses into primals. Position: end of line. Importance: product range flexibility. Quality impact: inaccurate cuts reduce yield. Maintenance: saws, knives and guides.
Factory Layout & Building Requirements
Typical functional areas include animal reception, slaughter hall, dehiding and evisceration, chilling, cutting, cold storage, quality control, utilities, wastewater treatment and staff facilities. Hygienic zoning is essential. Exact area is determined during engineering.
Utilities
