Assalam O Alaikum Br. Mihaj,

The mechanical knife is atually circular knife runned by the machine. Circular knives are used in food industry to cut products such as brownies and I worked on those circular knives. This is pain in the neck machine and you have to have two sets. It get clogged up very soon with baked cookies material just after the oven. So one stop for cleaning the other operate and vise versa. But I do not how soon they change the knives in chicken slaughtering. This mechanical knife is also a trick to confuse Muslims that it sound like a Muslim holding a mechnical knife, nobody hold nothing. It is circular knife or knives who cut the throat of 140 chicken in one minute.

I think I have suggested on this forum that I worked on ULTRA SOUND knives on Nabisco Brownies. This is a very high velocity oscilating blade for fast cutting. I also worked on a single ultra sound knife for testing to see the quality of 4 sides of brownies. It can be made to slaughte chicken where Muslim slaugheterman can hold the ultra sound knife in his hand and slaughter the chicken. It will speed up the rate of hand slaughtering. This require feasibility study and research to see whether how much benefit against the cost because it is very expensive. Beside I also work on WATER JET Cutter a million dollar machine from Italy to use on high speed brownies lines. Nabisco used these cutters at several plants. I was in Nabisco plant in Chicago. It utilized the water at very high pressure through several horizontal and verticle nozzles for cutting to make a square brownies.
