Our products

The loads carried by the chain conveyor need to be transported smoothly to the slaughter line. Conventional mechanical chains require lubrication to operate in a normal and sustainable way. Veterinary constraints no longer allow regular greasing of the chains. This results in a fast degradation of these and accelerated replacements.

As a chain manufacturer, we started working on this topic more than 20 years. Our R&D department, in collaboration with the maintenance engineers of our customers, have developed a range of chain (Autolub) that does not require any greasing.

The heat, surface treatments and the specific rings used, allow our chains to resist wear and oxidation, despite the very aggressive conditions of use during the production or cleaning phases.

Unlike the big manufacturers, who work primarily for automakers, we manufacture more than 80% of our chains for food related applications, with its constraints. (Ambient humidity, corrosive cleaning products.).

Couédic Madoré have several types of chains to suit different applications:

• Monoplaner or polyplaner chains
• Standard or Autolub chains
• AM2, AM3, AM5, AM250 AM250-4, CMR, Webb, models etc.
• We can manufacture chains according to a required model.

For each kind of conveyor, we offer various components to suit all you needs:

• Driving unit with or without torque limiter
• Sprocket wheel
• Manual, pneumatic or hydraulic tension unit
• Automatic lubricating central

The correct design of work station is required for the quality of work performed, for the productivity and the comfort of the operator.

Our design work finely studies the tasks required by the operator and apply’s the principles of ergonomics.

Thus, the study of each station will allow the operator to have the correct tooling and hygienic materials on hand.

For us, a work line is not 1 time X stations but X times 1 station.

Differences in the size of operator are also taken into account either by height adjustable podiums, or by height adjustable tables.

Obviously, each workstation meets the required hygiene standards and are cleanable. Tis is essential in the agro-food industry

Our range of adaptable workstations for the customer’s needs, is very wide:

•  Elevating platform, Manufactured from sheet metal.
• Elevating platform with frontal advance
• Elevating platform with waste water collecting tray
• Fixed platform height adjustable
• Working podium – manual height adjustment
• Standing station
• ….
• All stations are manufactured to the required specifications

Hygiene is the essential element in the agro-food industry and in particular in the slaughterhouses and cutting units, where the meat is bare.

To take on board these constraints, we have developed a wide range of cleaners and sterilizers for every type of tool and materials, from the simple knife sterilizer to the washer of trays with water recycling.

We are also aware of the need to limit water consumption, we integrated low consumption nozzles into our sprays equipment, that we have precisely positioned to clean the active areas of tools.

For cases where scraping is necessary, (for example hooks and gambrels) we have used ultrasonic blocks before disinfection phase.

Specific sterilizers are also on-board on our automatic machines: robots, splitting machine, and on materials as stimulating machine and supports for de hiding machine for example.

Our active participation at MALI commissions (MAtériels destinés à l’aLImentaire = Food Materials) from CETIM allow us to keep a business watch on new technologies used for the cleaning-disinfection in the food industry and to launch very specific topics on this subject.

Materials suggested by Couédic Madoré are:

• Knives sterilizer or soaking saw
• Knives sterilizer or spraying saw
• Spraying washing cabin for hooks and carriers
• Ultrasonic washing cabin for hooks or gambrels
• Washing machine for trays high-throughput
• Sterilizer for automatic machines
• Sterilizer for stimulating machine and support for dehiding machine
• All type of material according to specifications

The carcasses transfer or carriers from the network of wharves to trucks must be done quickly to limit the opening of doors and the immobilization of vehicles.

Couédic Madoré Equipement has developed several models of hydraulic truck loading arms, fast and manageable, to meet the different needs of industrialists:

• Hydraulic arm for loads up to 300 kg
• Hydraulic shear arm dedicated for loading pigs on gambrels
• Hydraulic shear arm dedicated for loading of beef quarters
• Hydraulic loading arm of beef halves with Wi-fi controls

For the placing in caddies, we also have hydraulic arms to lower loads that can be either completely hanging or placed on the ground on base and movable depending on the place of use.

All our arms meet the requirements of the « Machine » directive and are tested with loads in accordance with the standard on the lifting materials equipment.

Couédic Madoré Equipement is the exclusive dealer of Freund company (German manufacturer of shears and saws) on the French territory and we can supply, as such, a completely range of cutting tools for slaughtering and cutting chains.

• Shears and saws for slaughterhouses
• Cutting saws
• Spare Ribs Cutter machines
• Accessories (balancers, transform…)
• Spare parts
