2. Description and proper intended use
The Blitz cattle stunning apparatuses shall be used exclusively for the stunning of
animals for slaughter. Any use other than this is considered improper use.
The EU animal protection ordinance 1099/2009 and the applicable national
regulations shall be observed by the operator.
The device is subject to the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Annex 1, Point
2.2.2 "Portable fastening devices and other firing devices".
The device is to be stored such that it is secured against unauthorised use.
After igniting the propellant charge in the cartridge receiver (centre-fire), the bolt
accelerates, projects a defined distance out of the sleeve and is then withdrawn
back into the housing whereupon it remains in the device.
Calibre 9x17, centre-fire cartridges shall be used exclusively as the propellant
device.
For safe use, the cartridges used in this device must fulfil the
requirements of the corresponding C.I.P. approvals testing.
For optimum
results, we recommend the use of turbocut blank cartridges or products of
equivalent quality.
Functional principles of the cattle stunning apparatus
The energy of the blank cartridge is transferred to the bolt thus accelerating it so
that it penetrates the brain of the animal through the skullcap. The integrated
bolt spring and the rubber buffer brakes the bolt back to a standstill and pushes
it back into the device. To achieve optimum results and to protect the device, the
energy of the blank cartridge is tailored to the animal (see chapter 3 - Blanks
cartridges). With the Bullen Blitz model range, there is no bolt spring. A retaining
system is used in this case. This model range was specially developed for the
heaviest animals. The device has a larger projection length for the bolt than the
other cattle stunning apparatuses.
With the Blitz Schlag model range, the method used is the application of a
percussive blow to the head. This device is designed exclusively for stunning
poultry.
