Abstract

A whip, particularly a double whip (1), as part of a slaughter line includes at least a whip section (A) and a head section (B) which is in contact with a machine shaft. The whip section (A) is made of a soft polymeric material while the head section (B) is made of a hard and impact-resistant polymeric material as a hard-soft combination with the whip section and the head section being integrally joined to one another within a connecting region (C) thereof. The whip section (A) is provided with a rib-groove system (2) within the impact zone or effective zone. The connecting region (C) between the whip section (A) and the head section (B) is designed such that a large adhesion area (3) is provided, especially by forming a wedge. The head section (B) is additionally provided with a recess (4) that has a substantially tubular configuration for accommodating a bushing (5).
