Birko, a leader in providing food safety solutions, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent 10,455,843 entitled “Multi-Angle Carcass Wash Systems, Wash Cabinets Including Same, and Related Methods.” The patent covers the design, process and manufacturing of a multi-angle wash system for cleaning carcasses, comprising of a multi-angle fluid distribution unit, a rotating unit and a guiding unit operably coupled to the spray unit or the multi-angle fluid distribution unit.
The new patent is used in Birko’s Head and Tongue Wash. The system is proven to effectively wash heads and tongues while reducing water consumption in plants by up to 60%. The system works by capturing each head and tongue as they enter the cabinet and spraying water with 3-dimensional, contoured arbors that oscillate, following the heads and tongues.
