What is a Chicken Feather Cleaning Machine?

A Chicken Feather Cleaning Machine, also known as a poultry plucker or defeathering machine, is a mechanical device used in the poultry industry to remove feathers from chickens, ducks, or other birds quickly and efficiently. The machine usually consists of a rotating drum or plate fitted with rubber fingers that rub against the bird’s body to pluck feathers after scalding (dipping in hot water to loosen feathers).

It is widely used in poultry farms, processing units, butcher shops, and small to large-scale meat businesses because it saves time and reduces manual labor.
