Scalders & Pickers for Poultry

Welcome to our premium selection of poultry scalders and pickers, your go-to tools for efficient and humane feather removal during processing. Whether you're running a small homestead operation or a larger on-farm setup, the right scalding and picking equipment makes all the difference in quality, speed, and ease of use.

Why Scalding and Picking Matter

Scalding loosens feathers by relaxing the follicles with hot water, preparing the bird for fast and effective picking. A properly executed scald leads to smoother feather removal without damaging the skin. Picking machines use rotating rubber fingers to gently but thoroughly remove loosened feathers, reducing labor and improving the final presentation.

Featured Products & Their Benefits

• Deluxe Picker (with or without motor) – A cost-effective, reliable picker ideal for small to mid-sized flocks. Choose the motorized version for faster processing or the manual model for a hands-on, budget-friendly approach.
• Featherman Pro Plucker – A high-performance plucker featuring a large-capacity tub and durable rubber fingers. Excellent for users seeking professional-grade results and long-lasting equipment.
• Poultry Picker with Motor – A powered picking machine designed for fast, efficient feather removal with minimal effort. Perfect for processors who prioritize speed and consistent results.

How to Choose the Right Equipment

• Operation Size: Smaller flocks may need only a tub-style picker, while larger setups benefit from motorized, high-capacity machines.
• Cleaning & Durability: Stainless steel and food-grade components provide easy cleaning and long-term reliability.
• Power Options: Motorized units offer efficiency, while manual models reduce maintenance and upfront costs.
• Temperature Control: Consistent scalding temperatures ensure optimal feather loosening without skin damage.

Best Practices for Processing

Heat your scalder water to 140°F–160°F, depending on your preferred method. Submerge each bird until feathers loosen, then move it directly to the picker for quick, thorough removal. Finish by rinsing and inspecting the carcass for any remaining feathers.
