HZ‑TFJ‑60 A‑Frame Vertical Poultry Plucker

Manufactured by Haoze Machinery in Zhucheng, Shandong China, model HZ‑TFJ‑60 A‑Frame Vertical Poultry Plucker is a dedicated defeathering unit for overhead hanging poultry slaughter‑lines. All technical data comes from our official product manual and repeated on‑site commissioning records for global abattoir projects. This unit handles residual feathers after primary plucking for chicken, duck and goose under continuous industrial‑grade throughput of 2000‑8000 birds per hour.

Real‑World Problem This Machine Solves

Many medium‑to‑large poultry processing plants face recurring operational pain‑points on hanging slaughter‑lines: residual fine feathers left after primary plucking, heavy manual re‑plucking workload, difficult cabinet maintenance, unstable plucking effect when processing mixed‑size poultry carcasses.

The HZ‑TFJ‑60 is engineered against these actual site‑side challenges: adjustable cabinet angle plus automatic centering reduces manual fine‑plucking labour; open‑structure A‑frame frame lowers daily inspection downtime; full stainless‑steel construction adapts to high‑humidity, frequent‑washing slaughter‑house environment.

Working Principle

Poultry carcasses remain suspended on shackles and flow into this plucker right after primary coarse‑plucking station. Multiple vertical roller groups run counter‑rotating. High‑wear‑resistant rubber fingers generate controlled flexible friction to strip remaining fine feathers without excessive skin tearing.

The plucking cabinet supports angle adjustment and automatic centering to adapt different carcass dimensions. Feather debris and flushing waste‑water are discharged from bottom outlet continuously during running.

Important practical note: Proper scalding temperature in previous‑stage scalding tank directly influences final defeathering performance, which we remind customers during our pre‑delivery technical communication.

Main Structure & Component Breakdown

A‑type stainless‑steel bracket: Open‑box cabinet design, cabinet can swing open for direct access to rollers and rubber‑finger assemblies. Field‑service engineers can replace wearing parts without heavy disassembly.

Multi‑group vertical plucking rollers: Independent‑drive motor configuration for stable long‑shift non‑stop production.

Food‑grade high‑wear‑resistant rubber fingers: Core consumable part for feather‑stripping, avoids sharp rigid impact against poultry carcass skin.

Angle & azimuth adjustment assembly: Mechanical structure for cabinet position tuning, matched with automatic box‑centering function.

Built‑in circulating water‑spray system: Real‑time washing for feather residue inside cabinet, reduces cross‑contamination risk for food‑processing environment.

Manufacturing, Inspection & Pre‑Shipment Quality Control

Every HZ‑TFJ‑60 unit is fabricated in Haoze Machinery factory located at No.3840 Longxiang Road, Longdu Street, Zhucheng City, Shandong Province.

Before export shipment, each complete machine undergoes factory running test for simulating continuous working condition. We check motor running noise, roller rotation synchronisation, cabinet adjusting‑mechanism smoothness and water‑spray system status. Wear‑resistant rubber‑finger spare‑parts are packed together as standard accessories.

Practical FAQ

Based on real inquiry questions from global buyers; avoid imaginary AI‑generated questions

Q1: Can HZ‑TFJ‑60 remove most bulk primary feathers?
A: No. This model targets residual fine feathers after primary plucking procedure. To remove large bulk feathers, you need to pair it with primary plucker unit. Many of our Africa and Southeast‑Asia customers combine both units on one hanging slaughter‑line.
Q2: Can I install this plucker onto my existing third‑party‑manufactured hanging slaughter‑line?
A: Modification integration is feasible. You need to offer us your existing line hourly capacity, shackle height, on‑site space dimension and local voltage standard. Our engineering team will evaluate interface matching condition and give targeted proposal.
Q3: How long do rubber fingers last under real‑world slaughter‑plant operation?
A: Under continuous normal‑shift production condition, service‑life ranges from 6‑12 months. Service life will shorten if processing over‑large poultry or under improper scalding parameters. Original spare rubber‑fingers can be ordered directly from Haoze Machinery.
Q4: Can this machine run without overhead shackle‑hanging conveyor?
A: It cannot work independently. The carcass must keep hanging and flow through the plucker along the production‑line. If you need standalone plucking equipment for non‑continuous workflow, please consult our sales team for alternative‑model recommendation.
Q5: What documents will I receive after ordering?
A: We provide paper & digital operation‑maintenance manual, equipment drawing, spare‑parts list, factory pre‑test record. Overseas on‑site training service can be added according to project contract.
Q6: Can voltage be adjusted for non‑380V local power‑grid?
A: Yes. We support motor configuration customization for different regional voltage and frequency requirements. Please specify power‑grid condition during inquiry stage.
