Somnia

Advantages, system, design… the concept

The JWE-BANSS Somnia is a CO2 group stunning system developed with maximum consideration for animal welfare by gentle handling of the animals, utilizing the pigs’ natural curiosity and handling the pigs in groups. The concept is to have as little human contact with the pigs as possible so stress is minimized.

Behind JWE-Banss Animal Welfare are years of experience with CO2 stunning. We believe that this is the most efficient way to handle group pig stunning, on the market today which benefits both animal welfare and meat quality. In other words the system provides sustainable pig handling and stunning – both ethically and economically.

The CO2 stunning system’s intended use, is for simple stunning of pigs and includes an automatic driveway system, which can start already at the lairage/holding pens. The driveway handling system is mechanical and designed to encourage forward movement of the pigs in groups up to the stunning area.

Once the pigs are inside the Stunner, they are lowered into a high CO2 atmosphere and quickly lose consciousness. After an adequate amount of time in the CO2, they are unloaded from the stunner ready for shackling and sticking.

  • Highlights

  • Best Gondola floor space on the market

  • All operations carried out from one place using a very intuitive operating panel

  • External parts provide easy maintenance and adjustment access

  • Main control cabinet mounted on stunner eliminating the need for a separate control room with expensive cooling system

  • The handling system drives pigs in groups without personnel contact which allows for calmer handling

  • The incline towards the Somnia stunner keeps the pigs moving naturally forward instead of turning around and prolonging driving

  • Pressure sensitive Drive Wagons refrain from putting unnecessary pressure on the pigs

*Nominal capacities are dependent on animal and humans performing at 100 % efficiency, 100 % of the time. Variations will inevitably occur and thereby the nominal capacity will only be held periodically. Practical capacities will, therefore be approximately 10-15 % less than nominal capacities.
