<p>Device for the automatic stunning of slaughter animals on a slaughtering line by controlled electrocution, of the type including two inclined conveyors (1, 1') between them forming a V-shaped moving corridor (3) into which the animals are conveyed, being locked therein by gravity, and the animals are thus directed towards the electrocution station at the exit of the moving corridor, and the electrocution station at the exit of the said corridor includes two lateral electrodes (23) capable of being applied to the sides of the head of the animal whilst a stunning current is passed, the electrodes being mounted so that they can be moved between a retracted position allowing the body of the animal to pass after electrocution and an active position in which the electrodes are capable of becoming applied to the head of the animal, and the device is characterised in that the electrodes (23) are preceded in the direction of forward travel of the animals in the moving corridor by two lateral deflectors (24) capable of guiding the head of the animal towards the median axis of the moving corridor substantially equidistant between the electrodes (23), and these deflectors are themselves capable of moving between a retracted position allowing the animals to pass and an active position in the middle of the moving corridor. <IMAGE></p> |
