Approx. 100–800 chickens/hour, depending on configuration; lower output for ducks and geese
Power
Depends on scalder size, heating method and plucker configuration

Product Overview

Quick answer

Scalding and plucking in one set

What it is
A poultry scalder and a plucker set up as one unit, so scalded birds move into the plucker by machine instead of being carried by hand.
Suitable for
Small and medium poultry slaughterhouses, workshops and farms processing chicken, duck or goose.
Control
One operator with buttons, or an optional timer program that runs each batch automatically.

How one batch runs

  1. Load bled birds
  2. Scald
  3. Transfer by machine
  4. Pluck & discharge

Birds are placed on the loading platform and tipped into the hot water by hand, or with an optional mechanical feeding function. After scalding, the scalder moves the batch straight into the plucker.

As a reference, chickens need about one minute of scalding and one minute of plucking; ducks and geese need about two minutes for each step. Adjust the times to your birds and water temperature.

Two scalder designs

Tilting basket scalder

  • A perforated basket holds the birds in the hot water.
  • After scalding, the basket lifts and tips the batch into the plucker.

Rotary scalder

  • Turns clockwise during scalding to keep the birds moving.
  • Reverses after scalding, so the birds slide out of the rear into the plucker.

Match the plucker to your birds

Chicken

  • Chickens are the easiest to pluck.
  • A drum plucker of 80 cm diameter or larger, or a 5-, 6- or 7-roller horizontal plucker, is usually enough.

Duck and goose

  • Waterfowl feathers are harder to remove; a 7- or 9-roller plucker gives a better result.
  • The usual set is a rotary scalder with a 9-roller plucker; an air-blowing option can be added to the scalder.

On the same size, hourly output for ducks and geese is lower than for chickens. Pigeons and quail can also be processed; harder-to-pluck birds have more configuration options.

Rotary set sizes

1 m + 91 cm
Approx. 300–400 chickens/hour
1.2 m + 1.1 m
Approx. 500–600 chickens/hour
1.5 m + 1.5 m
Approx. 700–800 chickens/hour

Sizes are the scalder and 9-roller plucker shaft lengths. Outputs are references that depend on bird weight and scalding conditions. Each size can be supplied with one shared control cabinet and the optional timer program.

Heating, installation and wear parts

Heating
Electric, gas, steam or biomass pellet, with automatic constant-temperature control as standard.
Water
The scalder has a water inlet and water-level control; the plucker has a connection for spray water during plucking.
Installation
No foundation or anchoring is needed, and buyers can install the set themselves. A set normally ships in two wooden crates.
Wear parts
Rubber plucking fingers and heating tubes. A batch of spare rubber fingers is supplied with the plucker.

Buyer FAQ

Do I need the timer program?

No. Without it, one operator starts each step with buttons and judges the timing. With the timer, you set the scalding and plucking times once and the operator only loads each batch.

Is the set quoted as one price?

Yes. When you need scalding and plucking together, the scalder, plucker and control cabinet are quoted as one set.

What should I send for a quotation?

Bird type and typical weight, required birds per hour, preferred heating method, voltage, whether you want the timer program, and your destination country.
