Poultry waste handling system

For a customer in Europe Dutch Poultry Tech has designed and manufactured a poultry waste handling solution which allows the customer to collect feathers from broilers and ducks and viscera, heads and feet separately. The system gives the customer the flexibility to choose between outside disposal of all poultry waste or re-use of the duck feathers for the production of pillows and soft offals as a potein source for the pet food industry.  A rotating feather separator, soft offal separator and vacuum installation are all mounted on top of stainless steel raised platform to enable discharge of the feathers and soft poultry waste into offal collection containers placed below the rotating separators. Excess water discharged from the bottom of the  feather separator is recirculated back to the floor drain in the slaughterhouse running beneath the plucking machines.

Transport of the wet feathers takes place by means of a feather pump which is placed at the end of the floor drain receiving both feathers mixed with water from the plucking machines.

Heads and feet are crushed first and then blown by means of compressed air to the soft offal separator mounted on top of the raised platform. The viscera are also blown by means of compressed to the soft offal separator. The residual waste from the cavity of the carcase is transported by means of vacuum from the Final Inspection Machine to the vacuum collection tank mounted on top of the platform. And finally blood is blown by means of compressed air from the blood trough to the poultry waste collection bin positioned below the soft offal separator.
