Counter-rotating primary pickers for chicken processing
Achieve precise defeathering at rapid speeds while minimizing wing breakage with counter-rotating pickers designed to handle a diverse range of poultry sizes, optimizing your processing line efficiency and reducing operational costs.
The SBI Counter-Rotating Primary Pickers by Prime Equipment Group are designed to address the needs of high-speed poultry processing operations, offering an efficient solution for defeathering. This equipment features independently adjustable, counter-rotating side banks for versatile coverage across various bird sizes, effectively reducing wing breakage. It’s ideal for producing chicken drumsticks, turkey breast fillets, and duck legs among other products.
Capable of handling continuous, high-speed operations, the pickers are suitable for integration into existing poultry processing lines, supporting applications such as defeathering and hock cutting. The system is equipped with noise-reducing rubber gears and optional bottom-picking banks for larger birds, such as turkeys, increasing its versatility.
Electrical configurations vary for chickens, ducks, and turkeys, allowing customization to specific operational needs. By potentially reducing scald temperatures and the number of necessary pickers, the system contributes to lowered energy and labor costs. Prime’s engineering support ensures seamless integration and maintenance, offering optional features such as hydraulic systems for enhanced operation in turkey processing.
