Counter-rotating primary pickers for turkey processing

Enhance your turkey processing line with high-speed, continuous defeathering and hock cutting. The counter-rotating design minimizes labor, reduces bird damage, and ensures uniform results, streamlining your operations and cutting operational costs.

The SBI Counter-Rotating Primary Pickers from Prime Equipment Group offer an efficient solution for turkey processing plants focused on high-speed, automated poultry production. These machines feature a unique counter-rotating design, which allows for precise defeathering and hock cutting, ensuring optimal removal while reducing damage to the birds. Specifically engineered for continuous operation, they effectively integrate into your existing production line, handling every stage of the process from shoulder to neck. Capable of accommodating various turkey sizes due to their adjustable side banks, the pickers maintain high throughput, minimizing the need for additional labor and reducing overall scald temperatures. Designed with durable rubber gears that minimize noise and wear, they contribute to lower operational costs and increased line efficiency. With a focus on energy conservation, the pickers require minimal hydraulic power, further streamlining operational expenses. These machines can be tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring integration within your facility’s workflow.
