Introduction to the 500 BPH Semi-Automatic Slaughter Line
NPW presents a high-efficiency semi-automatic poultry slaughter line designed for a processing capacity of 500 birds per hour (BPH). This system integrates a horizontal plucking machine, ensuring optimal feather removal while maintaining meat quality. Built for medium-scale processors, this line offers a balance of automation and manual control, making it ideal for facilities aiming to upgrade their operations without full automation costs.
Key Components and Workflow
The line incorporates essential stages: live bird receiving, stunning, bleeding, scalding, plucking, and evisceration. The horizontal plucker is a standout feature, using rubber fingers to gently but effectively remove feathers without damaging the skin. The scalding tank maintains precise water temperature (typically 58-62°C) to loosen feathers, enhancing plucking efficiency. Each component is constructed from food-grade stainless steel, meeting international hygiene standards and ensuring easy cleaning.
Advantages of the Horizontal Plucker
Compared to traditional drum pluckers, the horizontal design offers several benefits:
- Gentle on carcass: Reduces bruising and skin tears, improving final product appearance.
- Higher throughput: Continuous operation with minimal downtime, supporting the 500 BPH target.
- Energy efficiency: Optimized motor and drive system lower electricity consumption.
- Easy maintenance: Accessible components and simple construction simplify cleaning and part replacement.
Hygiene and Safety Standards
NPW prioritizes food safety. The line features smooth, crevice-free surfaces to prevent bacterial buildup, and all contact parts are corrosion-resistant. Safety guards and emergency stops are installed at critical points, protecting workers and ensuring compliance with occupational safety regulations.
