SMALL POULTRY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: CURVED SCALDING TANK AND HORIZONTAL PLUCKER

Optimize Your Small Poultry Slaughterhouse with NPW’s Curved Scalding Tank and Horizontal Plucker

In small-scale poultry processing, efficiency and product quality are paramount. NPW, a leading global manufacturer of integrated livestock and poultry slaughter lines, introduces the curved scalding tank paired with a horizontal plucker—a compact, high-performance solution designed specifically for small slaughterhouses. This combination ensures consistent scalding and gentle yet effective feather removal, delivering superior results with minimal labor.

Key Features of the Curved Scalding Tank

The curved scalding tank is engineered for optimal heat distribution and water circulation. Its unique curved design allows for uniform immersion of birds, ensuring even scalding across the entire flock. Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, the tank resists corrosion and is easy to clean, meeting stringent hygiene standards. Precise temperature control—adjustable up to 80°C—ensures effective feather loosening without damaging the skin, a critical factor for premium product quality.

• Uniform Scalding: Curved geometry promotes consistent water flow around each bird.
• Energy Efficient: Insulated walls reduce heat loss, lowering operating costs.
• Durable Construction: Stainless steel build ensures long service life and easy maintenance.

Horizontal Plucker: Gentle and Thorough Feather Removal

The horizontal plucker complements the scalding tank with its innovative design. Featuring multiple rubber fingers arranged on a horizontal drum, it removes feathers efficiently while minimizing bird handling stress. The horizontal configuration allows for a continuous flow of birds, increasing throughput without compromising on plucking quality. Adjustable speed and finger tension accommodate various bird sizes, from broilers to turkeys.

• High Throughput: Processes up to 500 birds per hour, ideal for small operations.
• Gentle Handling: Reduces bruising and skin tears, preserving meat quality.
• Low Maintenance: Easy-access panels and durable fingers ensure minimal downtime.

Seamless Integration for Maximum Efficiency

When combined, the curved scalding tank and horizontal plucker form a seamless workflow. Birds are transferred directly from scalding to plucking, reducing manual handling and labor costs. This integrated approach minimizes processing time and ensures consistent results, batch after batch. NPW’s commitment to quality means each unit is rigorously tested for performance and reliability.
