Accurate and Fast Neck Cutting

Killing Machines

Clear Neck and Throat Cut

Immediately after stunning, the Killing Machine performs a precise and fast cut on one or both sides of the neck. The efficiency of the neck cut significantly affects animal welfare and product quality. Both too deep or too shallow a cut will cause downstream problems such as increased feather retention, venting difficulties and insufficient bleed-out. Choose the killing machine that best fit your local cutting requirements.
