Available Stunning Equipment
Captive Bolt Stunners
Mechanical stunners used widely in cattle, sheep and certain pig operations. Designed for reliable penetration or non-penetrative stunning with consistent power delivery and robust construction suitable for daily commercial use. Models typically offer replaceable bolts, cartridges and safety features to support long-term operation.
Electric Stunners
Electric stunning systems suitable for pigs, sheep and poultry. These units deliver controlled electrical current to achieve immediate and effective unconsciousness. Many systems include adjustable voltage and amperage settings, ergonomic handpieces and safety controls tailored to species and plant requirements.
Data Recording Systems
Electronic monitoring systems that record key parameters such as voltage, amperage, stun duration and operator usage. These support audit compliance, welfare documentation and internal process verification. Data recorders help facilities demonstrate conformity with statutory animal-welfare requirements and improve consistency across shifts.
All equipment is designed for hygienic use in commercial abattoirs and is built to withstand intensive daily operation. Systems can be tailored to specific species, throughput levels and existing handling layouts.
