Stages On How To Make A Chicken Plucker

By Allyson Burke


Agriculture, mainly those in the poultry industry need an effective way to remove the feathers from the chicken. This will result in convenience and speed for them especially when they have a huge order from their clients that needs to be delivered fast. There is therefore the need for them to know how to make a chicken plucker as it will achieve the desired results in a timely manner. It is cheaper to use as there are no laborers to be paid.

There are many tools and equipment that are required to complete the process. Assemble them all together at the work station. Purchase and or borrow those that are not readily available from the local surroundings. Should there be any difficulty experienced while assembling them together, then a person with the desired experience is consulted. A single mistake could lead to the machines malfunctioning or even causing injuries to the users.

Since the process involves many potentially dangerous activities, it is advisable to have shielding garments for example gloves, welding glasses, an overall and so on. These will make sure that all the parts of the body are free from injuries. These shielding clothes should be put to use when using the machine to avoid stains from the feathers. A board cut to size is fit with a carpet on the sides and secured with small nails. This is where the motor is secured.

Get another smooth board cut to required size, and have four perforations on which the engine will be secured on. This piece of wood and the first are put together and the motor placed on its place. The smoothness of the wood must be a priority.

On the next wood, put together with a third piece. This, just like the other two, has to be cut to size. It should be smooth too. Smooth out the corners at forty five degrees. Be very precise about this. The electric transmitter is then attached beside the engine. The motor, cord and the switch are then cabled together.

Then the preparations to attach the plucking fingers are due to begin. Make holes all round the plastic cap. They should be close together to achieve good results. However, the size of the lid will determine the distance between the holes. The smaller the lid the more the holes will be close together.The opposite is the case. They should be made all round the top. Then the rubber fingers are ready to be inserted form the inside to the outside.

At the middle bottom of the cover, make an opening. It should fit the rod tightly so do not have it too wide. This will provide support for the lid as it goes round. On the side of the engine is where the rod is attached firmly, preferably with the use of electricity. Use nuts to attach the cap and the rod together.

The task could be very tedious. It could also pose a great challenge at first when making it. However, watching and learning from others would be the best way to know how to make a chicken plucker. There are those that are already made and ready for purchase.
