Poultry Feet Hook Detaching Equipment for Chicken Slaughterhouse

Product Overview

Compared with manual unloading methods, the automatic system provides:

• Continuous operation

• Higher unloading efficiency

• Reduced labor requirements

• Improved production hygiene

The machine is widely installed in:

• Broiler slaughterhouses

• Chicken feet export processing plants

• Large poultry processing factories

It can work together with:

• Automatic feet cutter

• Feet washer

• Feet scalder

• Feet peeler

• Feet chilling system

A poultry feet unloader is an important part of modern feet processing systems because it ensures that valuable chicken feet are automatically transferred from the slaughter line into downstream processing.

Working Principle

The automatic chicken feet unloader is installed on the overhead shackle conveyor after the feet cutting section.

During operation:

The chicken feet hanging on shackles enter the unloading station together with the conveyor movement.

The rotating unloading rollers equipped with rubber fingers contact the feet and apply upward and forward force.

The feet are released from the shackles and fall into the collection hopper or conveyor below.

The carcass conveyor continues moving to the next processing section.

The unloading process is completed automatically without manual intervention.

Key Performance Parameters-Production Capacity

Unloading Performance

Industrial foot unloaders from different manufacturers typically use rotating shafts with rubber fingers to lift and release feet from shackles.

Application

The automatic chicken feet unloader is mainly used in poultry slaughterhouses where chicken feet are processed as valuable by-products.

After the feet cutter separates the feet from the carcass, the unloader removes them automatically from shackles and sends them to the next processing stage.

Typical applications:

• Frozen chicken feet export plants

• Commercial broiler slaughterhouses

• Poultry by-product processing factories

• Integrated chicken processing lines

For countries where chicken feet are an important export product, efficient unloading helps maintain stable production and product quality.

Application Case

Case 1: 8000 BPH Chicken Processing Plant

A poultry processor producing frozen chicken feet needed to improve automation in the feet processing section.

The existing line required workers to manually remove feet from shackles.

Huatao installed an automatic feet unloader integrated with the conveyor system.

Case 2: Poultry Processing Line Expansion

A customer expanded production capacity from a semi-automatic system to a fully automatic processing line.

Huatao supplied:

• Feet cutter

• Feet unloader

• Feet washing equipment

The complete feet processing section improved line consistency and hygiene control.

Advantages

• High Automation Level
  Automatically removes chicken feet without manual handling.

• Improves Processing Efficiency
  Supports continuous high-speed poultry production.

• Protects Product Quality
  Rubber unloading fingers reduce damage to valuable chicken feet.

• Hygienic Operation
  Stainless steel construction meets food processing requirements.

• Easy Integration
  Can be connected with existing poultry slaughter conveyor systems.
