Techno-Catch was founded in 1999, after 10 years of research and development in conjunction with Cattaruzzi International. During those early years a mechanical chicken harvester was painstakingly designed specifically for the U.S. market. 1999 marked the birth of the Chickat.
Techno-Catch is a company founded on creativity and innovation. The successful combination of continuing improvements, backed by several international and U.S. patents, reliability, and customer support, has resulted in the sale of over 70 Chickats to date in the U.S. This makes the Chickat the top selling mechanical poultry harvester of its kind in the world.
In 2005 Techno-Catch, LLC saw another need and began research in livestock cooling and the benefits that can be gained. This led to the KOOLCHICK. The mobile unit, using four independent, hydraulically driven fans delivers up to 400,000 cubic feet of air and water mist to cool poultry and other livestock while being held on the transport truck.
Also in 2005 Techno-Catch, LLC began work on an innovative approach toward the humane slaughter of poultry. Even though still in development this system shows strong promise. Its application could revolutionize back dock operations while providing improved meat quality. We call it the LAPS, a "Regulated Hypobaric Stun Process."
