Getting the Best Stun Effect — Installation Details That Matter

✓

Effective stunning zone

Only the area where the positive and negative electrodes correspond vertically is effective. The bird must be stunned continuously across the whole tank for a consistent result.

✓

Shackle-to-rail angle

The shackle should not hang perfectly vertical — reserve a slight angle so birds press the shackle firmly against the rail, improving conductivity and preventing intermittent stunning.

✓

Tank width

Tank width must match line speed and bird size. If the water level is lifted while birds pass through, the breast and wings get immersed, creating a secondary circuit that causes pinpoint breast hemorrhages and wing bruising.

✓

Electrode grid

We recommend a stainless steel or round-steel grid welded into 8–10 cm square cells covering the whole tank bottom, plus a conducting bar running the full length of the tank under the birds' heads for continuous contact.
