Straddle picker for efficient poultry defeathering

Optimize your poultry processing with this high-speed straddle picker, designed to effectively target hard-to-reach areas for superior feather removal, ensuring higher yield and reduced heating costs.

Executes Efficient Defeathering and Hock Cutting

The SP-1 Straddle Picker from Prime Equipment Group offers a precise and efficient solution tailored for the unique demands of poultry processing. Featuring extra-long fingers in a dual-downstroke rotational pattern, this machine excels at defeathering hard-to-reach areas of poultry, enhancing both product quality and yield. Engineered for continuous, high-speed operations, it adeptly handles the defeathering and hock-cutting processes. Ideal for producing chicken drumsticks and turkey breast fillets, it maintains efficient picking with lower scald water temperatures, reducing energy consumption. The compact design integrates seamlessly into existing lines, supported by PLC controls for enhanced automation and ease of use. Its robust construction minimizes maintenance needs, ensuring long-term durability in meat and seafood processing environments.
