Deluxe picker / plucker with legs for chicken or poultry ITEM IS NEW This plucker can be used to pluck any bird with feathers in as little as 30 seconds. The deluxe plucker is designed to employ a high torque, fractional horsepower, 1725 rpm motor. This model comes with a 115v 1/4 HP motor. The drum of this plucker uses 28 fingers to rub the feathers off of the bird. The main structure of the deluxe plucker is composed of white high density polyvinyl material (HDPV). The HDPV is food grade material and is easy to clean. This plucker has a removable steel grate on the top and a steel belt guard on the side. There are 4 removable steel legs that bolt to the side of the plucker. The deluxe plucker stands approximately 33 inches off the ground, the same height as most kitchen cabinets, making it an ideal working height. This puckers' approximate dimensions when collapsed are 40 inches (length) x 17 inches (width) x 16 inches (height). The approximate weight with the motor is 60 lbs. I also sell replacement rubber fingers at 1.50 each. Tips Recommended by the manufacturer: Completely bleed out the bird. After bleeding, scald and pick as soon as possible. Feathers soon become difficult to remove if the birds are not picked soon after killing. Hold the bird by the legs and wing and lay it on its side on the rotating drum cleaning the side and wing. Hold bird so fingers on the picker move away from the legs toward the top of bird. Turn the bird to clean the breast, neck and legs. Continue turning and clean the other side and wing. Remove feathers from underneath the bird and back of legs by continued turning of the bird. Finish feather removal on back preferably holding bird so that fingers on the picker move toward the back of fowl. Pull out primary wing feathers by hand to finish job. DUCKS AND GEESE The success of feather removal depends on cutting the oil in the feathers. Detergent added to water often helps. Some people have found they pick with no scalding at all (dry pick). They then scald and remove the remaining feathers. Others use the picker to rough feathers and then scald and pick as usual. Technique for ducks and geese will change according to species of the fowl, age, feed, killing method, temperature and time and other factors. Experimenting with wild fowl will find the best technique. Visit the manufacturers website at: dux-industries.com for more information. Click on the images below for a larger image
