Chicken Sloughterline - Chicken Slaughterline 1200 BPH

• Processing facilities requiring high-volume poultry slaughter and primary processing.
• Commercial chicken farms looking to integrate slaughtering operations.
• Food production companies needing a consistent supply of processed chicken.
• Meat packing plants expanding into poultry processing.

Typical capacity

This specific unit is rated for 1200 birds per hour (BPH), which is a common mid-to-high volume for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Slaughterlines of this scale typically require a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Footprint

A complete line including stunning, bleeding, scalding, plucking, evisceration, and chilling will require a substantial dedicated area within a processing plant.

Water consumption

Significant water volumes are typically needed for scalding, chilling, and general hygiene and cleaning processes.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with product are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of moving parts, motors, and control systems are typically required to ensure operational efficiency and hygiene.
