PRO Plucker:

Chicken Plucking made easy! The Featherman PRO plucker is our best-selling chicken plucker and a must-have piece of equipment for every poultry processor to increase processing efficiency. Simply scald chickens, then drop 4 or 5 birds into the tub and in 20-30 seconds or less, the birds will be picked clean. No pin feathers, no backache. Simple to use & easy to clean. Capable of plucking 3-50 lb. of chicken or turkey in less than 1 minute! Our Featherman PRO plucker is primarily for chickens, but it can handle turkeys & game-birds, too. We also offer separate specialty pluckers for turkeys, the PRO XL Plucker and game-birds, the Gamebird Plucker.

Another notable feature of the Featherman PRO plucker is the feather chute. Our chute keeps feathers contained in one spot, offering quick and easy clean-up! The water spray ring gives the birds an even spray of cold water, for a quick feather release and the waterproof switch ensures operation safety.

Roto-Dunker:

The Roto-Dunker fits on top of the Featherman scalder for hands-free and back-free scalding. The Roto-Dunker’s dual baskets can handle two 5lb birds* each. That’s up to 20 lbs total! Our baskets are turned by a custom-built low RPM motor in a stainless steel housing. The slow steady speed provides a consistency of scald that is exceptional & is also very forgiving because the birds are only in the scalding water half the time. In addition, this aids in maintaining a more steady water temperature. There are no pinch points as the rotation easily stops in the event of an obstruction, making the Roto-Dunker very safe.

At 4 rotations per minute, there is no need for a timer, no need to worry about a start/stop switch. It scalds birds up to about five pounds dressed weight, the operation is silent, and produces a consistent scald every time. The Roto-Dunker is like having an extra man in the processing crew!

The Featherman Roto-Dunker baskets are made from stainless steel welded wire for lower weight while still providing excellent strength & durability.

Features:

• Holds up to 20lbs of poultry**
• Powered by a custom-built low RPM motor
• Stainless steel construction
• 4 rotations per minute
• Silent operation

*The video above was produced in 2008 and since then we have improved the scalder design to have better combustion & less/no soot build-up. We discontinued the piezo ignitor due to its inherent unreliability. The float valve was also discontinued.
