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.
