Features of choosing a hanger for meat

In order to determine the specific type of meat hanger, it is necessary to determine as accurately as possible the maximum load on the hook and on the entire structure as a whole. For this, it should be taken into account that, depending on the type and size of the hook, it can withstand an average of 100 to 600 kg of weight. Hooks are supplied in the quantity required by the customer.

The load per linear meter of the hanger can be from 150 kg to 400 kg. Floor hangers are the most common type and generally have a height of 1.2 - 1.8m.

On one hung, regardless of height, about 1.9 m long and 0.6 m wide, the maximum load is from 600 kg to 1000 kg.

Placing meat carcasses on hangers specially adapted for this purpose makes it possible to increase the safety and quality of meat, to reduce unproductive losses from its partial spoilage:

• the carcass does not come into contact with the cold surfaces of undercarriages, shelves, racks and packages of other products;
• the meat does not have contact spots with the metal of the undercarriage and other materials;
• during storage, surface ventilation is provided, conditions are created for product inspection;
• if necessary, the hung on wheels moves around the chamber.

These advantages make it possible to organize work with carcasses strictly in accordance with the requirements of sanitary and technological standards, to make it easier for the staff to maintain the chambers and place products and blanks in them.

To maintain cleanliness, hangers should be periodically washed with water and detergents, dried-on dirt should be removed and treated with hot steam. Hooks from the hanger are washed on standard dishwasher equipment.

Storage in freezers and refrigerators

You can store carcasses in open form or in production packaging. When storing in the freezer, it is necessary to install the hanger so that the meat is minimally exposed to the air flow from the fans - this reduces weight loss from shrinkage during storage. It is not recommended to move meat for thawing to production facilities with thermal equipment, and preparation for storage can be carried out on refrigeration equipment with gradual or shock cooling to -18 - -25 C.

Mobile hangers for carcasses and racks for meat are made of stainless steel with the expectation of heavy weight. Their design provides for hanging blanks on special stainless steel hooks. If it is intended to use equipment for fresh meat or move it to thaw, then a restaurant or store should be hung with a drip tray to collect the draining liquid.
