Placed in the first position, A-frame design removes 95% - 98% of feathers

First Processing: Feather RemovalFirst Processing: Feather RemovalCounter Rotating (CR) Picker from SB Impianti

CONTENTS

• 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

First Processing: Feather RemovalFirst Processing: Feather RemovalRubber removes feathers,

and we put more rubber on the bird

CONTENTS

The use of one Counter Rotating Picker and one Wing Scalder on the picking line:

•Lowers scald temperatures

•Reduces downgrades from wing breakage and skin tearing

•Improves overall yields

•Reduces number of pickers

CONTENTS

• “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.

First First Processing: Feather RemovalProcessing: Feather RemovalWing Scalder eases wing picking

CONTENTS

• 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.

• Prime Equipment Group’s anti-microbial Dual-Cascade Cooler is designed to rinse and cool birds immediately after the final picker.

• Allows effective antimicrobial intervention while follicles are open.

• 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.

CONTENTS

• 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.
