Optimization of cold stores with DGS transport systems

DGS provides efficient solutions for setting up refrigeration units within veal, beef, and pork slaughterhouses, equipping these spaces with transport systems connected to other hanging systems. Our range varies from simple manual rail systems to fully automated coolers. Additionally, integrating a suitable Warehouse Management System (WMS) is possible for complete product traceability.

Our systems are designed to optimize the storage, cooling, and transport of carcasses, organs, and by-products, aiming to ensure maximum freshness and quality. We also offer solutions for rapid cooling to minimize dehydration immediately after slaughter.

  • Minimizes human intervention
  • Integration with other systems
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Each refrigeration unit is custom-configured using modular components selected in consultation with the customer. Our systems are built to withstand the challenging conditions in a slaughterhouse, delivering long-term performance with minimal downtime. Furthermore, our transport systems are easy to clean and maintain.

    Automating cold stores

    DGS offers various overhead conveyor configurations for refrigeration units in slaughterhouses: manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated. In manual setups, products are manually moved over push rails by employees, with switches at the entrance and exit of the storage lane.

    However, this process can be automated by adding chain transport conveyors, walking beams, or automatic storage conveyors. Additionally, automatic rotating arms can be placed on the input and/or output switches to move products over the switch.

    Automating overhead conveyors in refrigeration units reduces labor intensity, increases efficiency, and ensures consistent performance, resulting in improved productivity and quality.

    Rail systems from DGS

    DGS offers a comprehensive range of various types of rails designed for different applications in slaughterhouses, including cold stores. This includes:

    Galvanized steel tube tracks: available in 1.5″ and 2″ sizes, suitable for roller or slide hooks.

    Plastic tube: available in 1.5″ and 2″ sizes, suitable for roller or slide hooks.

    Bi-Rail (Twin Track): closed system and suitable for use with B20_B25 trolleys.

    Flat Rail: developed for use with flat rail trolleys.

    Our rail types can be customized to specific needs and requirements upon request. Additionally, we offer the option to supply all rails in stainless steel.

    Quick Chiller

    With rapid chilling, carcasses are swiftly cooled post-slaughter, reducing drying loss and increasing yield. DGS offers various conveyor systems for rapid chilling.

    Our rapid chilling conveyor lacks an underlying tube track; instead, the chain is fitted with load hooks for product suspension. Upon request, the conveyor can be equipped with an underlying rail (tube track/bi-rail/flat rail), made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or rail with a plastic top layer. Additionally, the conveyor can be customized in stainless steel with an stainless steel chain for enhanced hygiene and durability. With options for temperatures both above and below freezing, our systems can be swiftly and efficiently tailored to our customers’ specific needs.
