Diseño y construcción de un noqueador electromecánico de pollos para la granja avícola Tía Juanita

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to carry out the stunning process of chickens efficiently, safely, and humanely, ensuring animal welfare and the quality of the final product while avoiding merchandise losses and optimizing production. The Electromechanical Stunner was developed taking into account the best practices in poultry handling and complying with current regulations and safety standards in slaughterhouses. A thorough research was conducted to understand the machine's operating principles, and the necessary technical specifications for its construction were analyzed. The detailed design includes the mechanical, electrical, and electronic components required to ensure effective and controlled stunning of the chickens. Special attention was given to the selection of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials, ensuring optimal and durable operation. Once constructed, the Electromechanical Stunner underwent rigorous testing to verify its proper functioning and to fine-tune any aspects that required improvement. The implementation of the Electromechanical Stunner at Granja Avícola Tía Juanita resulted in optimal stunning without side effects such as bruises or internal burns, guaranteeing production quality. With this machine, the farm will be able to improve its slaughtering process and reaffirm its commitment to product quality and care.
