• Disk Pickers use short fingers to rub the bird.
o Each finger places .5”-1” of rubber on bird.
• The Counter Rotating picker uses 7” fingers.
o Each finger places 2” - 3” of rubber on the bird
• Side bank hubs have 16” diameter. This creates 22”+ of stroke on the bird for 3 meters
o Wide hubs and long fingers allows the picker to not run as “tight”.
o Reduced broken wings and skin damage.
• Improves wing feather removal, including tip feathers.
• Reduces number of pickers, reduces scald temperatures & increases yield
• No broken disks to damage skin
Rubber removes feathers,
and we put more rubber on the bird

The use of one Counter Rotating
Picker and one Wing Scalder on

• “Even Flow” technology creates a
consistent cascade of high-
volume water.
• Added water force stretches wings
to further improve wing-tip picking.
• Wing Scalder allows lower scald
temperatures by 2 to 10 degrees.
• This can result in significant yield
and water-heating savings.
• Also reduces wing breakage and
tail picking down-line.

• Over-scalding is a primary source of yield loss.
• High scald temps melt fat and moisture, resulting in lost yields & profit.
• High temperatures are usually used because wings and tails are not
being picked properly.
• The Prime Wing Scalder improves wing and tail picking, allowing lower
scald temperatures
• The Wing Scalder is placed between the 2nd and 3rd picker and re-
heats wings.
• This stretches the wing & loosens the feathers, makes picking easier
and allows processors to focus the third picker on the wings.

• Uses chiller overflow water.
• Immediate chilling congeals the
fat under the skin, improving
yields by up to 0.25% to live
weight and reduces bacteria
inside feather follicles.

• The Paw Cutter removes the
paws from the bird, while the
Unloader moves paws from the
shackle to a conveyor.
• The paws are indexed to the
bird, and remain in motion on a
conveyor.
• The birds are indexed to the
position of their paws and travel
down-line for inspection.
• If a bird is rejected at the USDA
grading station, the inspector
hits a button and the paws from
that bird are then removed from
the conveyor.
