Packing house and cold storage construction; a general reference work on the planning, construction and equipment of modern American meat packing plants, with special reference to the requirements of the United States government, and a complete treatise on the design of cold storage plants, including refrigeration, insulation and cost data .. . andle and convert all offal intoa finished product, and illustrates how this equipment canbe arranged to best advantage. Hog Killing Arrangement In Figure 36 is presented a sectional view of an arrange-ment for slaughtering hogs on a large scale. The plan of this killing floor is shown in Figure plant is laid out for a capacity of 1500 hogs per day. It will be noticed that the shackling pen, sticking penand the scalding tub are all in a straight line, with thescraper at right angles to the tub and the moving-benchparallel with the tub. This makes a practical and con-venient arrangement without crowding the equipment. The hogs are driven into the waiting pens and from KILLING FLOORS 53 there to the shackling pens, on either side of the doublehog wheel. These pens are four feet six inches wide, whichis about the maximum width for the convenient shacklingof hogs. If the pens are made wider than this, the hogswill be so far away that the shackler cannot convenientlyreach the FIG. 35—PLAN OF BEEF OFFAL FLOOR. The floor of the pen is eight feet above the main killingfloor and the diameter of the hog wheel is 12 feet is set four feet_off the floor, and the height of thispart of the slaughter house must be 27 feet. The hog wheel is operated by an electric motor, whichdrives also a friction hoist, used for picking up any hogswhich may have dropped off the rail.
