Application

The automatic poultry head cutter machine is mainly used in industrial chicken slaughtering lines after the defeathering process.

After scalding and plucking, chicken carcasses require further processing before evisceration. Head removal is an important step to prepare carcasses for internal processing, chilling and packaging.

The machine is suitable for:

• Broiler processing plants

• Chicken export factories

• Large poultry slaughterhouses

• Automated poultry processing facilities

By replacing manual cutting operations, the equipment improves production efficiency and maintains consistent processing quality.
