First separate poultry scalding from livestock scalding, then compare the handling method: stirring tanks agitate the water internally, rotary tanks move forward and reverse, and tilting-basket tanks handle the birds in a basket that tilts automatically. Check the product cards for current capacity, size and electrical supply.
Plan the scalder and the removal machine together. For poultry, the Automatic Poultry Scalding and Plucking Machine sets up a scalder and a plucker as one unit; for separate machines, compare the compact drum plucker with the higher-output horizontal plucker. For pigs or sheep, choose the pig dehairer or sheep dehairer; the dehairing and plucking category compares these machines.
Buyer FAQ
How do I compare tank sizes?
Use your animal type, typical weights and required output. Then compare loading and discharge; the largest hourly figure alone does not tell you which tank suits your operation.
What information helps with a quotation?
Send the animal type, required output, tank or handling design you are considering, and destination. Include voltage and space restrictions where relevant. Our equipment buying guide explains what to ask when comparing quotations.
