A pig dehairing machine is a large, horizontally rotating drum with hundreds of flexible dehairing claws (rubber rods) installed on its inner wall.
The carcass tumbles and moves forward within the drum as it rotates and is guided by a spiral plate.
The continuous rolling and friction between the pig carcass and the rubber rods, other carcasses, and the drum’s inner wall removes the loosened hair after scalding.
Small: 60-150 heads/hour, suitable for small to medium-sized slaughterhouses.
Medium: 150-300 heads/hour, common configuration.
Large: 300-600 heads/hour and above, used in large slaughter lines.
