A suction head for cleaning of the surface of carcass parts consists of an oblong handle () and a nozzle () mounted at one end of the handle. An air duct () passes through the handle and the nozzle, and it can be connected with a suction device via a coupling () in the other end of the handle. Steam ducts () are designed in the nozzle () to lead hot steam to the surface parts () of the nozzle, which are intended to get into contact with the surface of the carcass parts. These steam ducts () are connected with a supply duct (), which is connected with a steam source via a coupling () on the suction head. The supply duct () for steam passes through the handle () from its coupling end to the suction device and to its nozzle end. In the nozzle the duct passes into the steam ducts (). It is less fatiguing for an operator to use this suction head than a conventional head with disinfection facility.
