4. Blank cartridges and their storage
The captive bolt stunner apparatuses have been specially developed for the
central re cartridges (caliber 9x17, „crimped“ and watertight sealed) – only
these cartridges may be used!
The blank cartridges are available in four dierent strength levels for the
dierent types of animals to be slaughtered. Particular care should be
taken with the respective selection in accordance with the type of animal
and the size of the animal.
The selection of the correct charge strength for the respective animal en-
sures species-appropriate stunning and helps to reduce the wear on the
bolt spring and rubber buer. The printed information, the color of the la-
bel and the color of the primer indicate the charge strength of the blank
cartridges. See the following table for recommendations:
