"No Mess" Chicken Scalder; Plucker MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 22-4-4 "It's built simple, which keeps the price down and makes it easy to work on. Unlike other chicken pluckers, all drive components are up out of the water and mess," says Kenneth King of JAKO, Inc., Hutchinson, Kan., about the company's new chicken plucker and scalder.
Both units are electric-operated and are sized to process four birds at a time. The scalder stands 82 in. high and is equipped with an 8 rpm gear motor on top. The motor is connected to a hinged steel arm fitted with leg shackles that dunks the birds in and out of a large plastic tank filled with hot water.
Scalded birds are then dropped into the chicken plucker's plastic drum. An electric-powered right angle gearbox on top of the plucker turns a steel shaft which drives a spinning wheel at the bottom of the drum. The wheel is fitted with about 60 3-in. rubber fingers. Rubber fingers also mount on the sides of the drum.
The units sell for $1,700 apiece fob Hutchinson, Kan., and come with a 1-year warranty.
