A device for picking or plucking poultry feathers is provided that includes a sleeve-coupling and, connected or connectable thereto, a plucking plate with receptacles for plucking fingers, which sleeve-coupling is mountable on a drive-shaft for the plucking plate. The sleeve-coupling is provided with a circumferentially extending slot for receipt of a radially extending pin that is provided on the drive-shaft, and the circumferentially extending slot has an opening between the slot-extremities to allow the pin to enter and to exit the slot so as to securely mount the sleeve coupling on the drive shaft with the pin being located at one of the slot extremities.

A meat tenderizer with disposable face plates requires that a fresh face plate be chosen for each use to prevent cross contamination from one use of the tenderizer to the next. The table or tables of the tenderizer head are flat and accept the face plates which may have a flat tenderizing surface or any of several textured tenderizing surfaces. The face plates are intended for a single use. Once used a face plate is discarded. The user selects the appropriate face plate for the task at hand, attaches it to the tenderizer and removes and discards it after use. Since a clean unused face plate is selected for each use, the tenderizer does not have to be washed between uses thereby saving time for the chef and providing a sanitary tenderizing surface for contact with the meat.

A hand-held epilating device capable of increasing plucking efficiency. The epilating device has a housing to be grasped by a hand of a user, and a plucking cylinder carrying at least one set of pinching elements for catching and pinching body hairs therebetween. The plucking cylinder has a longitudinal axis and is driven to rotate about the longitudinal axis to pluck the body hairs from the user's skin. The plucking cylinder is supported to the housing so as to effect a periodical movement relative to the housing within a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis. Thus, the area of the skin covered by the plucking cylinder can have increased chances of being in contact with the pinching elements as the pinching elements move periodically relative to the skin together with the plucking cylinder, thereby improving the plucking efficiency.

Methods and systems enable reuse of water in processing of animals into food. In one method, water used in processing of animals into food is received. The water is treated so as to convert the water into a treated from capable of being reused in the processing of the animals into food. The treating includes reducing the amount of solid particles in the water and adding gas to the water. The treated water is provided to be used in the food processing.

A meat mallet for tenderizing and flattening meat with a handle, a neck and a head with interchangeable face plates. The face plates have a meat-engaging surface of varying patterns that can be flat, have outwardly projecting points of different sizes and shapes to accommodate meats having different connective tissues or other suitable tenderizing structure. The head has a partially hollow cavity that opens at a front end and stores the face plates in a nested configuration with the top-most plate being an in-use plate. The face plates have a perimeter support shoulder that facilitates the nesting configuration providing a perimeter support system while protecting the meat engaging surfaces of the face plates. A retainer ring has an inner threaded surface that threadedly engages an outer threaded surface of the front end of the head and allows the meat-engaging surface of the in-use plate to partially extend past the retainer ring to engage the subject meat.

A knife for deboning rib meat from ribs includes a plurality of spaced apart blades arranged in side by side relation, each blade having forward end, a rearward end and a sharp bottom edge, a deboning head transversely interconnecting the blades and which includes a sharp bottom edge, wherein a sharp grooved surface interconnects a forward end of both blades and the deboning head and a handle connected to the rearward end of the blades. The sharp grooved surface is contoured to a rib of predetermined animal.

The invention discloses a plucker. The plucker comprises an outer barrel, an inner barrel and a base. The inner barrel is movably sleeved with the outer barrel, the inner barrel is of a porous structure, and the inner barrel is provided with multiple rubber protrusions. The outer bottom face of the inner barrel is fixedly connected with a rotary shaft, the rotary shaft is in transmission connection with a motor arranged in the base, the inner barrel is driven by the motor to rotate at high speed, at the moment, slaughtered poultry conducts centrifugal motion in the inner barrel, and at the moment, feathers of the poultry fall off due to the flapping effect of the rubber protrusions. The plucker is simple and reasonable in structure, unhairing can be achieved rapidly, and the whole plucker has a good cleaning function, and is not prone to be stained, comfortable for a user to use and more sanitary.

The invention discloses a plucker, which comprises a machine case, hacking rods made of a rubber or plastic material, a baffle plate, a cylinder, a plurality of rotating roller bodies, a lifting rotation roller body and a lifting cylinder, wherein the hacking rods are fixedly arranged on the rotating roller bodies and the lifting rotation roller body; a guide groove is formed in the machine case; the shaft of the lifting rotation roller body is in sliding fit with the guide groove; the rotating roller bodies and the lifting rotation roller body form a hacking space; the lifting rotation roller body and one rotation roller body form a door body; the lifting rotation roller body is driven to ascend by the lifting cylinder; water injection holes are formed in a top plate of the machine case; and hair outlet holes are formed in a bottom plate of the machine case. Due to the structure, after a chicken body and a duck body enter the hacking space, the length directions of the chicken body and the duck body are consistent with those of the roller bodies; the rotation speed of the rotation roller body of a lower hacking cavity is higher than that of the rotation roller body and the lifting rotation roller body of an upper hacking cavity; and under the condition that the chicken body and the duck body are continuously turned over, various parts can contact the hacking rods, so that the target of thoroughly unhairing can be reached.

The invention provides a rapid feather plucker which plucks small or infant feathers of the killed poultry after the big feathers of the poultry is removed. The poultry feather plucker comprises a cylindrical shell, wherein one end of the cylindrical shell is fixed with a semi-circular stainless steel cap; the top end of the semi-circular stainless steel cap is provided with a round hole and eight suction sumps for sucking the small feathers of the poultry; an inner end of the cylindrical shell is provided with a micromotor; the middle of a lengthening shaft of the micromotor is provided with a suction pump blading; the other end of the operating shaft of the micromotor is provided with a semi-circular feather clipping five-claw blade tallying with the semi-circular stainless steel cap of the shell; and a drain outlet is arranged in the middle of the cylindrical shell. The plucker is simple to operate and efficient and clean and can improve the existing manual plucking efficiency by over 5 times.

The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a defeathering device used for chicken farms and convenient for chicken feather collection. The device comprises a shell, an outer cylinder, a cleaning device, a defeathering device and a compression device; the upper end face of the shell is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder, and the defeatheringdevice is arranged inside the outer cylinder; the upper end face of the shell is fixedly connected to the defeathering device; the compression device is arranged inside the shell; the right end face of the shell is fixedly connected to the cleaning device; and a defeathering machine is arranged below the outer cylinder.
