Automatic Vertical Chicken Feet Peeling Machine for Poultry Processing

Product Overview

This vertical chicken feet peeler adopts a compact cylindrical working chamber with a rotating peeling mechanism. The chicken feet are continuously rubbed against specially designed rubber fingers inside the chamber, allowing the softened yellow skin to separate effectively.

According to different production capacities, the equipment can be configured as:

1. Single Barrel Vertical Chicken Feet Peeler
Suitable for:

• Small and medium poultry processing plants

• Independent chicken feet processing workshops

• Flexible production requirements

2. Double Barrel Vertical Chicken Feet Peeler
Designed for higher production capacity.
Advantages:

• Larger processing volume

• Higher output efficiency

• Suitable for industrial poultry processing factories

3. Standard Automatic Vertical Feet Peeler
A widely used model for integration into complete chicken feet processing lines.

The machine can be connected with:
Chicken Feet Scalder → Vertical Feet Peeler → Washing → Chilling → Packaging
to achieve continuous automated production.

Working Principle

After chicken feet are treated by the scalding machine, they are automatically loaded into the vertical peeling chamber.

The motor drives the internal rotating shaft and peeling components at high speed. During operation, chicken feet continuously tumble inside the chamber.

The friction generated between:

• rotating rubber fingers,

• chamber wall,

• chicken feet themselves,

removes the loosened yellow outer skin layer.

Meanwhile, water spraying continuously washes away removed skin residues and impurities.

After completing the peeling process, cleaned chicken feet are discharged automatically through the outlet and transferred to the next processing stage.

The peeling speed and processing time can be adjusted according to:

• chicken feet size,

• scalding condition,

• required peeling quality.

Application

Application of Vertical Chicken Feet Peeling Machine
The automatic vertical chicken feet peeler is widely used in poultry processing industries where chicken feet are collected as valuable by‑products.

Typical applications include:

• Poultry slaughterhouses

• Chicken feet export factories

• Frozen food processing plants

• Meat product manufacturers

• Ready‑to‑cook food factories

Suitable products:

• Chicken feet

• Chicken paws

• Chicken claws

• Duck feet (with customized design)

For export‑oriented poultry processors, this equipment is normally installed after the feet scalding process and before chilling and packaging.

Application Case

Automatic Chicken Feet Processing Line – Thailand Poultry Factory

A poultry processing factory in Thailand produces frozen chicken feet for overseas markets.

Before upgrading, the factory used manual peeling operations, resulting in:

• High labor cost

• Uneven peeling quality

• Limited production capacity

The factory installed:

Spiral Chicken Feet Scalder
↓
Double Barrel Vertical Chicken Feet Peeler
↓
Washing System
↓
Cooling & Packaging Line

After installation:

• Processing capacity increased significantly

• Product appearance became more consistent

• Labor requirements were reduced

• Export quality standards were improved

The double barrel vertical peeler became the key equipment for continuous chicken feet production.
