This Unit is suitable for cleaning hog and sheep intestines. It is composed of 3 working units with rollers of 600mm in length, in which the first group empties the intestine of its manure content. It then falls onto the chain conveyor in which it is slow conveyed to the second group, during the process the runners will be soaking in the first tank for approximately 18-20 minutes. Then the runners will be delivered to the second group in which the casing will be emptied of its mucosa. The mucosa will be collected in a chute and diverted to the side of the machine. The runners will then fall onto the second chain conveyor in which it will be brought to the third group, during this process the runners will be soaking in the tank for 3-5 minutes. Once the runners exit the third group they will be collected on a hook.
For the final phase of the cleaning the operator must collect 4-8 runners and manually feed them into the finishing machine (which consists of 5 rollers, two rubber and two stainless steel) wherein the outer membrane and excess mucosa will be stripped. The runners will exit the opposite side of the machine clean and ready to be soaked in cold water or salted.
The machine is constructed of AISI 304 stainless steel and is supplied with an electric control panel encased into a stainless-steel cabinet with low-tension 24 V control push buttons. The rollers are made of rubber with stainless steel fittings and shafts. The roller system is designed with the regulating structure to adjust the rollers only on one side of the machine. This means when the worker regulates the roller on one side the entire roller moves up and down evenly.
