Automatic Poultry Scalding & Plucking Machine

The Automatic Poultry Scalding & Plucking Machine is a professional poultry processing equipment designed to improve defeathering efficiency, reduce manual labour, and increase processing speed in commercial and small-scale poultry operations. This advanced chicken scalder uses controlled hot water immersion to loosen feather follicles, allowing birds to pass seamlessly into the defeathering stage.

Manufactured with high-quality stainless steel, the machine ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and food-grade hygiene compliance for safe poultry processing. The integrated temperature control system maintains optimal scalding heat levels, preventing damage to bird skin while ensuring easy feather removal.

During operation, poultry birds are placed into the scalding tank where heated water circulates evenly around the carcass. The machine automatically maintains consistent water temperature and heating performance, allowing operators to achieve uniform scalding results. This significantly reduces processing time and improves overall productivity.

The equipment is ideal for poultry farmers, slaughterhouses, meat processing facilities, agricultural cooperatives, and commercial poultry vendors handling chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other birds. It supports both medium and large-scale poultry processing operations by enhancing efficiency, improving hygiene standards, and minimizing labour costs.

How It Works

Scalding:
After slaughter, the poultry is placed in hot water (about 60°C–80°C) for 30–60 seconds. This step softens the skin and loosens the feathers, making plucking much easier.

Plucking:
The bird is then moved into a machine with rotating rubber fingers. These fingers gently rub against the bird to remove the loosened feathers.

Feather Removal(:
As the machine spins, the feathers come off quickly. Water is sprayed to wash the feathers away, keeping the process clean and efficient.

Completion:
Once scalding and plucking are done, the bird is clean and ready for the next steps like cutting and cleaning.
