Counter-rotating chicken picker
Poultry processing facilities often face challenges with efficient defeathering, particularly when maintaining the quality of the poultry skin. Traditional methods may cause inconsistent results, leading to lower yield and higher costs.
Enhances defeathering with alternating drum rotation
The RP-3000 Counter-Rotating Picker by JBT is designed to optimize the defeathering process for poultry. This system employs an innovative method where the first opposing drums pick downward, followed by drums that pick upward. This unique design ensures thorough feather removal while preserving the skin’s integrity. The setup allows for lower scalding temperatures, which keeps the skin more firmly attached, resulting in higher-grade and yield products with improved appearance. The RP-3000 is versatile and efficient, available in multiple lengths and banks to suit various processing needs. It operates on 230-460V, 60 Hz, 3 ph electricity, and features twelve 3 HP, 1750 RPM motors. The system weighs 4200 lbs (1905 kg) and has variable production rates, making it adaptable for different operational scales.
