Features

• High Capacity (7 Birds): Engineered to de-feather up to 7 chickens simultaneously in a single batch, greatly improving throughput and efficiency. This capacity is ideal for businesses requiring consistent, moderate-volume processing.
• Powerful 1 HP Motor: Equipped with a robust 1 Horsepower (HP) motor, typically a single-phase (220-240V) motor suitable for standard electrical connections. This motor provides ample power to drive the rotating drum and its numerous plucking fingers, ensuring effective and quick feather removal.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The entire body and drum are generally constructed from high-grade Stainless Steel (SS), often SS202 .

• Rotating Drum Mechanism: The machine utilizes a spinning drum (often a bottom-mounted or top-mounted motor driving the rotation). As birds tumble inside the rotating drum, the friction and impact from the rubber fingers quickly strip away the feathers.

• Integrated Water Spray (Common): Many models include a built-in water inlet or spray system that can be connected to a water supply. This continuously rinses away plucked feathers and dirt, keeping the process clean and preventing clogging.

• Easy to Clean and Maintain: The stainless steel construction and accessible drum design facilitate quick and thorough cleaning after each use, which is essential for maintaining hygiene. Replacement of rubber fingers is typically straightforward.

• Stable and Safe Operation: Designed with a sturdy base for stability during operation, minimizing vibrations. May include safety features such as a protective cover or an accessible ON/OFF switch.

Applications

This 7 Birds Top Model de-feathering machine is primarily applied in settings where a moderate volume of poultry needs to be processed efficiently and hygienically. Its key applications include:

1. Small to Medium-Scale Poultry Farms: Farms that slaughter their own birds for direct sale or for local markets use this machine to streamline the post-slaughter processing, replacing tedious manual plucking.

2. Poultry Shops/Butcheries: Ideal for retail chicken shops that receive live birds and process them on-site. It allows them to quickly prepare fresh, de-feathered chicken for customers, improving turnaround time and hygiene.

3. Restaurants and Hotels: Establishments that purchase whole chickens and prepare them from scratch benefit from this machine for efficient and sanitary feather removal, ensuring consistent quality for their culinary needs.

4. Catering Businesses: Caterers dealing with larger quantities of chicken for events can utilize this machine to rapidly de-feather birds, saving significant labor and time during peak periods.

5. Initial Stage of Poultry Processing Units: For very small-scale processing units, it serves as the initial mechanical step in preparing poultry before evisceration, cleaning, and packaging.

6. Reducing Labor Costs and Time: Its core application is to drastically reduce the manual labor and time required for feather plucking, making the overall poultry processing more economical and efficient.

Usage

• Reduced Manual Labor: This machine automates the laborious and time-consuming process of hand-plucking, drastically cutting down on man-hours required for poultry processing. It's an invaluable tool for small to medium-scale farms, butcher shops, and restaurants, allowing staff to focus on other tasks.
• Hygienic Processing: Constructed often from stainless steel, these machines are designed for easy cleaning and sanitation, ensuring a hygienic environment for poultry processing. Many models include a water spray system to rinse away feathers during operation, further contributing to cleanliness.
• Time-Saving Operation: A batch of 7 birds can typically be de-feathered in a matter of 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the scalding quality and machine efficiency. This rapid processing capability significantly speeds up the overall poultry dressing line, allowing for higher throughput.
