Product Overview
The Cattle Hoof Sliding Chute is a specialized by‑product transfer device used in modern beef slaughterhouses for collecting and transporting cattle hooves after hoof removal.
During cattle slaughter processing, the removed hooves need to be transferred away from the processing area quickly to avoid production interruption and maintain hygiene standards. The hoof sliding chute provides a simple and reliable solution by guiding the hooves from the elevated working platform directly to the collection area through a stainless steel chute structure.
The equipment is normally installed after the hoof removal operation and connected with the cattle carcass processing platform or by‑product collection system. The smooth inner surface allows cattle hooves to slide naturally by gravity, reducing manual handling requirements.
Manufactured from stainless steel, the chute provides excellent corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and long service life in wet slaughterhouse environments.
It is widely applied in beef abattoirs, halal slaughterhouses, and industrial cattle processing plants.
Working Principle
After cattle hooves are removed during the slaughter process, operators place the hooves into the upper inlet of the sliding chute.
Due to the inclined design and smooth stainless steel surface, the hooves move downward automatically by gravity without additional power.
The lower outlet guides the hooves into a collection trolley, container, or further processing area.
The chute separates the hoof collection process from the main slaughter line, helping maintain continuous carcass processing while improving cleanliness and operational efficiency.

Application
The Cattle Hoof Sliding Chute is mainly used in:
Beef slaughterhouses
Cattle abattoirs
Halal meat processing plants
Livestock processing factories
Integrated cattle slaughter lines
Typical processing position:
Cattle Stunning → Bleeding → Hoof Removal → Hoof Collection → Skinning → Evisceration
The chute is installed beside the hoof removal platform, allowing removed hooves to be quickly transferred away from the production area.
In large‑scale beef plants, multiple transfer chutes can be installed according to production capacity and factory layout.
Application Case
Case 1: Middle East Halal Beef Slaughterhouse
A halal cattle processing plant required an efficient solution for hoof collection after slaughter.
The customer installed stainless steel hoof sliding chutes connected with the hoof removal platform.
After operation:
Hoof transfer became faster
Manual transportation was reduced
Processing area cleanliness improved
Workers could focus on carcass processing operations
Case 2: African Cattle Abattoir Project
A medium‑scale beef slaughterhouse upgraded its by‑product handling system with customized hoof sliding chutes.
The system was integrated with:
Cattle bleeding conveyor
Re‑hanging platform
Hoof collection containers
The customer achieved smoother workflow and easier sanitation management.
