Austrian high-capacity line: 200–230 pigs/hour, with lamb add-on for 70–80 head/hour.
€60,000 — professionally dismantled, stored indoors, complete documentation.
Overview
A complete, high-capacity pig slaughter and dressing line manufactured by Laska (Austria), one of Europe's leading meat industry equipment makers, complemented by a small-ruminant add-on (Riniker, Switzerland) for lambs, sheep and goats. The line was installed at the Rodopa meat plant in Shumen and processes 200–230 pigs per hour; the lamb add-on handles 70–80 head per hour on shared line infrastructure (the two species are not slaughtered simultaneously).
The line covers the full process: stunning, bleeding, scalding, dehairing, singeing, polishing, dressing and splitting — with overhead conveyor transport and separate offal handling. It was professionally dismantled in February 2026 by our own team and is stored indoors, complete with control panels and original documentation.
