MKQ-V Automatic plucking machine for quails, partridges, gray partridges, rock partridges and small birds.
MKQ-V allows to carry out plucking autonomously, without any contact of the operator with the moving parts of the machine.
After having performed the previous scalding phase in hot water for a few seconds, simply insert the animals in the drum (one or more at a time up to a maximum of 4 animals) for a few moments “usually 30 seconds are enough”, all the plucking operation takes place in a safe, very quiet and clean way.
At the end of each plucking it is possible to rinse the cylinder by connecting the sprayer already installed on the plucking machine to a water tap.
The removed feathers come out at the bottom through the special discharge mouth.
