Basic information

A defeathering machine in the poultry farm is designed as a cylindrical stainless steel jar mounted on a rectangular metal stand. The machine also has an electric motor. The inner surface of the machine has bullet-shaped rubber fittings which are sometimes called finger plucker. When a slaughtered and scalded bird is dropped inside the de-feathering machine, the plucker fingers will get rid of the feathers as the electric motor rotates and the body of the bird rubs against the fingers

The removed feathers come out at an opening below the machine. Within 5 minutes max, the feather removal process should have been completed. This machine offers a combination of efficiency as well as time-saving options for swift processing of poultry for farmers/vendors. It helps remove feathers from poultry within a short duration (2 - 3 birds per minute)

Frequently ask questions

Q: What is plucker machine

A: This Feather Plucker Machine is indicated for the removal of feathers from poultry birds (broilers, old layers, cockerels, turkeys, etc.). This feather plucking machine is capable of plucking 2 to 3 birds at a time. The entire process of plucking 3 birds takes about one minute

Q: How long does it take to pluck a chicken

A: Plan on spending 2-3 minutes per bird for plucking, once you have some practice. When we are butchering just a few chickens, we hand pluck, even though we have a plucker. The chickens pictured above are two laying hens that we hand plucked yesterday

Q: How are feathers removed from chickens

A: Feather removal is performed by a machine called a “picker,” which includes hundreds of little rubber “fingers” that rotate around to remove the feathers. After feathers are removed, the birds are sent to an “eviscerating” line which removes internal organs and feet, also known as “paws”

Q: How hot should the water be for plucking chickens

A: between 130 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, if you have plucked a chicken without scalding, you will be pleasantly amazed how easy birds pluck after a hot bath. The water temperature needs to be between 130 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, use a thermometer to monitor the water temperature

Q: How long do you let a chicken bleed out

A: Place the chicken upside down in a kill cone like this (or a homemade version, like ours). Using a sharp knife, slit the artery in the throat (which runs right on the backside of the earlobe) and allow the blood to drain out and the chicken to die this usually takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute

Q: Does plucking a chicken hurt it

A: A bird who plucks their own feathers without intervention can cause themselves physical harm, including infections from open sores
