In the previous article, we explored the importance of carcass processing in a pig abattoir slaughter line. Following this critical step, the next phase in the processing line is synchronized quarantine. This article will delve into the synchronized quarantine process, which plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and quality of pig products.

1. Sampling and Inspection:
Upon completion of carcass processing, the pig carcass, along with the white and red viscera, are simultaneously conveyed to the inspection area through the quarantine conveyor line. Here, sampling and inspection take place to identify any potential issues.
2. Suspected Diseased Carcasses:
During the inspection, if a carcass raises suspicion due to potential disease or contamination, it is diverted to the suspicious diseased carcass track through a switch mechanism. The carcass undergoes re-inspection to confirm its unqualified status. If it fails the re-inspection, it is directed to the diseased rail.
To ensure proper handling, these diseased carcasses are carefully removed and placed in closed carts. Subsequently, they are taken out of the pig slaughterhouse or abattoir workshop for further processing in a manner compliant with health and safety regulations.
3. Unqualified White Viscera:
In the event that the inspection identifies unqualified white viscera, they are separated from the tray of the quarantine conveyor. These viscera are then placed into closed carts and removed from the pig slaughterhouse or abattoir for appropriate processing. This meticulous segregation ensures that only high-quality and safe white viscera move forward in the production process.
4. Unqualified Red Viscera:
Similarly, any unqualified red viscera identified during inspection are extracted from the tray of the quarantine conveyor. These red viscera are then placed into closed carts and transported out of the pig slaughterhouse or abattoir for further processing. By promptly removing unqualified red viscera, the synchronized quarantine process upholds stringent quality control standards.
5. Cleaning and Sterilization:
Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene are paramount in a pig abattoir slaughter line. To achieve this, the hooks of the red viscera synchronous quarantine conveyor and the trays of the white viscera synchronous quarantine conveyor undergo an automated cleaning and sterilization process using a cold-hot-cold water cycle. This meticulous procedure ensures that potential contaminants are effectively eliminated, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.
Conclusion:
The synchronized quarantine process in a pig abattoir slaughter line serves as a crucial checkpoint for quality control. By conducting thorough inspections, removing diseased carcasses, and separating unqualified white and red viscera, the slaughterhouse ensures that only safe and high-quality products proceed to the next stage of processing. Additionally, the implementation of automated cleaning and sterilization further enhances hygiene standards. In the upcoming article, we will explore the next phase of the pig abattoir slaughter line process: by-product processing.
