Hand-plucking a chicken takes several minutes. A chicken plucker machine does it in seconds. We supply drum-style feather pluckers for small farms and broiler producers who slaughter their own birds.
Stock and sizes change often, so we quote on request. Tell us what you need and we will reply with prices and delivery.
A drum lined with rubber plucking fingers and a spinning base. Drop in a scalded bird, add a spray of water and the feathers come off in seconds.
Order a plucker with a scalder for a complete feather-removal line. The scald is what makes plucking fast and clean.
Rubber fingers wear over time. Replace them to keep your plucker working well.
The bird is first scalded in hot water to loosen the feathers. It then goes into the plucker, where the spinning base tumbles it against dozens of rubber fingers. Water sprayed into the drum washes the chicken feathers out through the bottom. A properly scalded bird comes out almost clean.
Tell us how many birds you slaughter per day or per week, whether you have single-phase or three-phase power, and whether the plucker will be used indoors or outdoors. We will quote a model sized for your volume. Most small farms and broiler producers use a single drum plucker; larger operations add a full processing line.
A second-hand chicken plucker for sale can look like a bargain, but worn fingers, a tired motor and unknown wiring are common. We supply new pluckers only, so you get a machine that plucks cleanly from day one and is safe around water.
With a good scald, a drum plucker cleans a chicken in a matter of seconds, far faster than plucking by hand.
Yes, for good results. Scalding loosens the feathers; without it the plucker tears skin and leaves feathers behind.
Collect them from the drain area and compost or dispose of them according to your local municipal rules. Do not leave them near the poultry house.
