Frequently asked questions

The SAR (Refrigerated Storage System) is a hermetic, refrigerated container designed specifically for the temporary storage of mortalities on livestock farms. Manufactured with a double sealed polyethylene tank, fibreglass insulation and a backpack-type cooling unit, it maintains the contents at 4-5 °C storage temperature until collection by authorised SANDACH management services.

The SAR system reduces collection frequency by up to 95% compared to the traditional system, going from weekly collections to intervals of 45 days in summer and up to 60 days for the rest of the year.

The system has a load capacity of 5 to 6 tonnes. Different models are being developed to make the SAR accessible to farms of any size.

Maintenance is minimal. The cooling unit requires a biannual review by a specialist refrigeration company. The polyethylene tank is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.

The SAR incorporates temperature sensors that continuously monitor the interior of the tank. If the temperature deviates from the optimal range of 4-5 °C, the system generates automatic alerts. The remote connectivity system allows the farmer to check the equipment status at any time.
