Horizontal Sheep Carcass Dehairing Machine for Sheep & Goat Processing Line

Product Overview

Compared with manual hair removal methods, this machine provides:

• Higher production efficiency

• More consistent dehairing results

• Reduced labor requirements

• Improved processing hygiene

The equipment is widely installed in:

• Sheep slaughterhouses

• Goat abattoirs

• Halal meat processing plants

• Lamb processing factories

It can be connected with:

• Carcass scalding tanks

• Carcass unloading machines

• Overhead conveyor systems

• Carcass cleaning equipment

The referenced HT‑S211‑I model is designed mainly for removing sheep carcass hair after scalding, with a maximum capacity of around 100 heads/hour and a dehairing rate of ≥92%.

Working Principle

After the sheep or goat carcass completes the scalding process, it is transferred into the horizontal dehairing machine.

The working process:

• The carcass enters the dehairing chamber.

• Hydraulic cylinders adjust the working position according to carcass size.

• Rotating rollers equipped with rubber fingers contact the carcass surface.

• The loosened wool is removed through mechanical friction and pulling action.

• The cleaned carcass exits the machine and continues to the next processing stage.

The hydraulic adjustment system ensures stable contact pressure and improves hair removal performance.

Main Features

1. High‑Efficiency Hair Removal

The machine uses specially designed rubber dehairing rollers to remove loosened wool quickly.

Benefits:

• Short processing time

• Higher production capacity

• Reduced manual operation

2. Hydraulic Adjustment System

The hydraulic system controls roller movement and pressure.

Advantages:

• Suitable for different carcass sizes

• Stable operation

• Improved dehairing consistency

3. High Dehairing Rate

The optimized roller structure provides effective hair removal.

Typical performance:
Dehairing Rate ≥92%

4. Food Processing Grade Structure

Main components are manufactured from:

• Hot galvanized steel

• Stainless steel options

The structure provides:

• Corrosion resistance

• Easy cleaning

• Long service life

5. Continuous Production Capability

The machine is suitable for continuous sheep slaughter lines.

It can operate together with:

• Scalding tank

• Conveyor system

• Carcass cleaning equipment

6. Reduced Labor Requirement

Automatic mechanical dehairing significantly reduces manual wool removal work.
