Poultry Plucking Machines for Chickens & Poultry: Efficiency at the Push of a Button
Every poultry keeper knows the challenge: after slaughter, hand‑plucking is the most time‑consuming step. A professional chicken plucking machine fully automates this process. What used to take 10 to 15 minutes per bird is now completed by one of our machines in under 30 seconds.
How a Drum Plucking Machine Works
The models in our range operate using the proven wet‑plucking method.
- The rotation: A fast‑spinning bottom plate creates centrifugal force, moving the birds against the drum walls.
- The plucking fingers: Special rubber fingers on the walls and the base gently rub the feathers out while water rinses them away.
- The result: A cleanly plucked bird in the shortest possible time, ready for further processing.
The Perfect Workflow: Scalding and Plucking
For optimal results with a poultry plucking machine, proper preparation is essential. Since these are wet‑plucking machines, the birds must be scalded beforehand.
- Scalding tanks: Our thermostat‑controlled scalders maintain the precise temperature (around 60°C for chickens). If the water is too hot, the skin tears; if it’s too cold, the feathers won’t release.
- Killing cones: Before scalding, a suitable cone ensures clean and safe bleeding of the birds.
