The Poultry (Chicken) Slaughtering Production Line is a complete set of automated equipment specially designed for large‑scale slaughtering and processing of broilers, spent laying hens and other poultry. The production line covers the entire process from live bird reception, hanging, electric stunning, killing and bleeding, scalding & defeathering, evisceration, washing & chilling, to cutting, packaging, blast freezing and cold storage. This production line adopts an automated assembly line mode, integrated with a PLC intelligent control system and food‑grade stainless steel components. It is suitable for large‑scale poultry slaughterhouses, chicken processing enterprises, and integrated farming‑slaughtering projects. A standard production line can achieve a processing capacity of 2,000 – 6,000 birds per hour, and higher capacities can be customized according to customer requirements.
产品简介
Broiler processing enterprises – suitable for large‑scale slaughtering and cutting of white‑feathered broilers, yellow‑feathered broilers and other broiler breeds.
Spent hen slaughterhouses – suitable for processing spent laying hens; the equipment can adapt to different ages and body sizes of poultry.
Integrated poultry slaughtering & deep‑processing plants – covering the complete industrial chain from live bird reception to cutting, deep processing (e.g. prepared foods, cooked products).
Export‑oriented poultry processing enterprises – the equipment complies with international hygiene standards and supports HACCP and export registration requirements.
Live bird reception → Veterinary inspection → Holding → Hanging → Electric stunning → Killing and bleeding → Bleeding → Scalding → Defeathering → Spray washing → Evisceration → Synchronous offal inspection → Carcass washing → Chilling (0‑4°C) → Drip drying → Cutting → Weighing & grading → Packaging → Blast freezing (IQF) → Metal detection → Cold storage
Stunning: Water‑bath electric stunning, voltage 30‑50V, frequency 50‑200Hz (adjustable), time 5‑12 seconds, ensuring instant unconsciousness.
Killing: Automatic neck cutting knife, cutting depth about 3‑5mm to ensure carotid artery severance, bleeding time ≥3 minutes.
Scalding: Water temperature 58‑62°C, time 60‑90 seconds, adjusted according to bird breed and age.
Defeathering: Flexible rubber fingers, time about 30‑40 seconds, avoiding skin damage.
Chilling: Spiral chiller, water temperature 0‑2°C, chilling time 45‑60 minutes, carcass core temperature ≤4°C.
Cutting: Ambient temperature ≤12°C, cut product core temperature ≤7°C.
Blast freezing: Spiral freezer, temperature ≤ -35°C, post‑freezing core temperature ≤ -18°C.
ProductAdvantages
The poultry (chicken) slaughtering production line consists of multiple functional modules connected in series. The main systems are as follows:
Includes live bird unloading platform, holding cages/area, and automatic or semi‑automatic hanging conveyor. On arrival, birds are inspected by a veterinarian and moved to the holding area. The hanging process requires careful handling to reduce stress. Some high‑end lines are equipped with a low‑voltage electric channel to calm birds before hanging.
Includes a water‑bath electric stunner (or gas stunning device) and an automatic killing machine (neck cutting). Water‑bath stunning is commonly used (voltage and frequency adjustable) to ensure instantaneous loss of consciousness, meeting animal welfare requirements. After killing, birds go to a bleeding tunnel with a bleeding time of about 3‑5 minutes to ensure thorough bleeding.
Consists of a spiral scalding tank (or tunnel scalder) and vertical/horizontal defeathering machines. Scalding water temperature is controlled at 58‑62°C (adjusted according to bird species and age), with a time of about 60‑90 seconds. Defeathering machines use flexible rubber fingers to effectively remove feathers without damaging the skin. Carcasses are then rinsed by a spray washing machine.
Includes an automatic eviscerator, offal synchronous conveyor line, and offal inspection table. The automatic eviscerator can fully extract the viscera. Red offal (heart, liver, lungs) and white offal (intestines, gizzard) are conveyed separately. The synchronous inspection line allows corresponding carcass and offal inspection for veterinary examination. Non‑conforming products are automatically rejected and sent to disposal.
Multi‑stage spray washing machines are used to thoroughly clean the eviscerated carcasses. The chilling process uses a spiral chiller or immersion chiller (cooling medium being ice water or chilled brine) to rapidly reduce the carcass core temperature to 0‑4°C. Chilling time is about 45‑60 minutes, effectively inhibiting microbial growth and extending product shelf life.
Includes automatic or semi‑automatic cutting conveyors, leg cutters, wing cutters, breast deboners, etc. Different cutting stations (e.g. whole leg, drumstick, wing middle, wing tip, breast meat) can be configured according to customer requirements. The cutting environment temperature is controlled below 10‑12°C, and the layout of personnel and equipment complies with hygiene standards.
Equipped with automatic weighing and grading machines, modified atmosphere packaging machines or vacuum packaging machines, and quick‑freezing equipment such as spiral blast freezers (IQF) or tunnel freezers. After freeze‑freezing, the product core temperature should be ≤ -18°C before entering cold storage.
Includes blood collection and treatment equipment, feather dewatering and drying units, offal cleaning and processing lines, and non‑conforming product disposal equipment, enabling resource utilization and meeting environmental requirements.
Centralized control by a PLC touch screen, monitoring line speed, temperature, and operation status of each equipment. Equipped with fault alarm, emergency stop, and safety interlock functions.
High automation, labor saving – From hanging to cutting and packaging, the entire process is continuously automated, greatly reducing manual contact and improving efficiency. Single‑line capacity can be designed from 2,000 to 12,000 birds per hour.
Food safety and animal welfare assured – Water‑bath stunning with precise, adjustable parameters ensures humane stunning. The whole process follows HACCP standards, with synchronous inspection, metal detection, foreign material removal and other safety steps.
Food‑grade material, easy to clean – The main body and all food‑contact parts are made of SUS304 stainless steel, polished with no sanitary dead corners. Scalding tanks, chillers and other equipment are designed for easy drainage and cleaning.
Energy‑saving and environmentally friendly design – Scalding heat can be supplied by steam or gas with high heat exchange efficiency; chilling water is recycled to reduce water waste. Feathers, blood and other by‑products are collected and treated, with emissions meeting environmental standards.
Flexible and customizable – The line can be tailored according to plant conditions, target capacity, and product types (whole chicken, chicken parts, boneless meat, etc.). Different configuration levels are available to suit various investment scales.
Stable, durable and easy to maintain – Key components such as conveyor chains, motors, and plucking fingers are selected from high‑quality brands for long service life. Automatic lubrication systems and maintenance doors are provided for convenient service.
