Automated systems for depilation in swine production typically employ scalding tanks combined with mechanical scraping or brushing. These systems efficiently remove bristles from pig carcasses after slaughter, preparing them for further processing. This process is a crucial step in modern meat production.
Efficient bristle removal is essential for hygiene, carcass quality, and consumer acceptance. Historically, manual methods were time-consuming and less effective. Automated equipment increases processing speed, reduces labor costs, and improves overall product consistency. This technological advancement has significantly contributed to the efficiency and scale of modern pork production.
