PAES 517:2008 Slaughterhouse Equipment – Overhead Rail System for Large Ruminants Flashcards
process of removing the blood from the animal before further handling
bleeding
body of any slaughtered animal after bleeding and dressing
carcass
separate half of the split carcass
carcass side
horizontal protruding rectangular block from the column of the building that gives the support to the main rail frame
corbel
process of removing the skin of the animal
dehiding
process of removing the internal organs from the carcass
evisceration
device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift–wheel
hoist
whom animal having rumen as part of its stomach such as cattle, carabao and buffalo
large ruminants
motorized or hydraulic device that allows gradual descent of carcass along the rail
lowerator
maximum load capacity of rail expressed in kilogram per linear length
moving load capacity
suspended solid steel track used to hang and/or convey carcasses in slaughtering operation
overhead rail
solid horizontal beam preferably metal where rail track is securely fastened through the rail hanger
overhead rail frame
supports and holds the rail tracks suspended from the overhead rail frame
rail hanger
bracket
distance measured from top of the rail to the finish floor line
rail height
center to center distance space between parallel rail tracks
rail spacing
switch mechanism that allows change in direction of trolley
rail switch
conveyor track where trolleys are hanged and allowed to roll
rail track
rail
rail branch where suspected carcass is diverted for further inspection
retained carcass rail
solid metal chain used to hold and hoist the animal through the hind leg
shackle chain
shackle
cutting or dividing the carcass into half through its backbone
splitting
horizontal supporting bar used for separating the hind legs of hung animal to a distance suitable for evisceration and splitting processes
spreader
auxiliary part of the overhead rail system used to halt the trolley to slide on the rail tracks during operations.
stopper
condition wherein the final judgment of the carcass cannot be ascertained and would therefore require further inspection and/or examination
suspected carcass
electronic weighing device integrated to an overhead rail system
track scale
specified dimensions of rail track, expressed in millimeters
track size
track diameter
suspended metal carrier assembly with one (1) or two (2) wheels and a hook used to carry or transport carcass
trolley
flat bar of non-corrosive materials that holds the trolley wheel, swivel and hook together
trolley frame
round stainless steel bar shaped into hook where the carcass is hung
trolley hook
shafting or a spindle that holds the trolley wheel in its frame
trolley pin
round stainless steel bar hook attached at the lower end of the trolley frame that allows rotation of the suspended carcass
trolley swivel
steel pulley-like part of the trolley that rolls freely on the rail
trolley wheel
A rail using rectangular bar for its track.
Rectangular Rail
A rail using tubular or round bar material for its track.
Cylindrical Rail
The slope of ____ of the rail track allows the animal to move downward to the dehiding/flaying area.
2%-3%
Spreader shall be at least ______ length
900 mm (3 feet)

1500 kg.
stress caused by bending moment at a given point in the beam supporting the overhead rail system
bending
flexural stress
deformation caused by excessive stress applied to the overhead rail system
fracture
horizontal distance between rail hangers
hanger/bracket spacing
weight of animal prior to slaughtering
live weight
maximum load capacity of overhead rail system in one (1) meter distance, expressed in kilogram
moving load capacity
distance of the entire track
overall length
due to elastic instability of the overhead rail system
sagging failure
ratio of the speed of conveyor without load to the speed of conveyor with load, expressed in percent
speed reduction
ratio of the change in rail height to the change in horizontal distance, expressed in percent
rail slope
center to center distance between parallel rail tracks
rail spacing
average normal stress at any point on the cross sectional area of the overhead rail system
tensile stress
