Chicken Feet Removing Equipment from Slaughter Line Shackles

Product Overview

The machine helps poultry processors achieve:

• Continuous feet unloading

• Reduced manual labor

• Improved processing efficiency

• Better production hygiene

The equipment is suitable for:

• Broiler slaughterhouses

• Chicken processing plants

• Poultry export factories

• Automatic slaughtering lines

Automatic foot unloading systems are commonly integrated with overhead conveyor systems to ensure smooth processing after hock/feet cutting operations.

Working Principle

The feet unloader is installed after the automatic feet cutter on the overhead conveyor line.

During operation:

• Cut chicken feet move together with shackles along the conveyor.

• The unloading mechanism contacts the feet or shackle position.

• Rubber fingers, stripping plates or rotating components push the feet upward and away from the shackles.

• The feet fall into a collection container or conveyor system.

• Empty shackles continue to the next processing section.

The unloading force and position are designed to remove feet efficiently while avoiding damage to the shackles.

Application

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

After the hock cutter or feet cutter separates the feet from the carcass, the feet must be removed from the shackles before:

• Feet collection

• Feet washing

• Feet peeling

• Chilling

• Packaging

The equipment provides a reliable connection between the feet cutting section and the following processing steps.

Typical applications include:

• Large broiler slaughterhouses

• Chicken feet export factories

• Halal poultry processing plants

• Automated poultry processing facilities
