Highest yields within EU stunning legislation
Marel Stork Poultry Processing will unveil a new high frequency Water Bath Stunner
In its new high frequency Water Bath Stunner for poultry, Marel Stork combines solid scientific
knowledge of stunning with innovative engineering. Highest yields and improved meat quality, setting
new standards for electrical stunning, are what you will be able to expect from this new solution.
The new high frequency Water Bath Stunner, which complies fully with EU legislation, is coming soon.
Within the guidelines laid down by the EU legislation, the new stunner allows poultry processors to strike
just the right balance between stunning efficiency and meat quality. The new Stork Water Bath Stunner
has an extended frequency range and will put poultry processors firmly in control.
In 2013, EU Council Regulation 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing became
applicable in all member states of the European Union. The new regulation aims to improve animal
welfare and sets common standards across the European Union. It takes into account of technical
advances made in recent years. Requirements for electrical water bath stunning have been tightened up
and are set out in greater detail. The Regulation dictates substantially higher electrical values for water
bath stunners, lays down specific requirements for their design and operation and specifies new
guidelines for laying out the kill line.
