Today, growing and selling quails is considered a very profitable business. But in order to still make a profit, you need to create all the conditions for this. After slaughter of a feathered bird, you need to clean the carcass of feathers, and this process is very long and scrupulous. But the world is developing, and with it the technology, so today there are many different devices that can help with this issue. One of them is a quail feathering machine.

Do-it-yourself quail removal machine
A bit of history
The quail perching machine is a progressive product that can save you time and energy. Many scientists are still struggling to achieve the ideal. Today they have achieved that almost every poultry farmer has such a machine at home, because you can make it yourself at home.
There are two types of peroschipalny machines:
- everyday;
- production.
The difference between them is that the production machine is always very large, usually it can only be found in factories, since it is only suitable for processing daily more than 500 carcasses – such a pick-up machine is not needed for farmers who are modestly operating.
A pick-up machine for do-it-yourself quailing is a very lightweight unit that will suit the people who keep a not-so-large compound.Such an apparatus consists of a plastic form, which resembles a cylinder, inside it there are special protrusions, thanks to which the bird is cleaned. One machine can clean several carcasses at once. Everything will depend on what the bottom will be.
Why is it needed?
It often happens that the owners of their house or a small summer cottage begin to think about their own small household and, of course, the first thing they want to get is poultry. But not everyone realizes that this entails, because it all starts with the purchase of the baby, and ends with cleaning the carcass from feathers.
Cleaning the carcasses is almost the most difficult process associated with keeping the livestock. Because of this, beginners are trying to come up with something of their own, to realize some innovative ideas. Often, it all ends with the fact that they spoil the presentation of the carcass and the meat itself. To avoid such situations, they came up with a car that itself removes feathers from carcasses. Usually a scraper is expensive, so many people prefer to do it with their own hands.
How is the cleaning process
A centrifuge is used as a basis, it’s he himself fills the tank with water, exactly as much as he needs. With the help of water and a centrifuge, the bird is cleaned of feathers and possible dirt.
After the feathers have been removed everything leaves through a special compartment.Any device that is created with a smooth surface, almost all the materials from which the device is made, have antibacterial bases.
How to make such a device yourself
The most important thing in such a device – these are “fingers.” During the “cycle”, the carcass of the bird clings to the fingers, thus getting rid of feathers. Even if you try to do it manually, it will not work just as well, and you will also have to spend 2-3 hours when the machine can cope in 30-40 seconds. The device itself is very expensive, it will be simpler and easier to do it yourself. What do you need to create such an assembly?
- Make drawings.
- Find something resembling a cylinder in shape, it is desirable that this object be made of plastic. This will be the basis of the product – the drum. You can also use materials made of metal. The proportions of the drum should be as follows: in height 75-80 cm, not higher, and in radius – 65-70 cm. If you want to make the machine bigger, then the proportions are as follows: height – 2 m, and girth around – 170-180 cm.
- Consider the thickness of the material you have chosen. If a metal base is selected, then its thickness should not be more than 1.3 mm. There have been times when you used a drum from a washing machine.
- Make holes in the drum for your fingers. Between the holes should be a distance of 2.5-3 cm, they should occupy 1/3 of the total area.
- Correctly calculate the power of the scraper, because if the power is strong, the body will hit your fingers, and its presentation will be damaged. To avoid such a situation, you should carefully and carefully watch how the machine is created.
- Ensure a stable position for the scraper: put a wooden level stand under it so that it can withstand strong drum hits.
- Be sure to check that the bottom of the machine is in direct contact with the system, which is responsible for the rotation of the drum.
- Bring water to the machine and make an entrance for it and exit. This will help in the process of cleaning the entire device.
On the Internet you can find a video where it will also be shown step by step how to create a device, what is needed for this, what is the principle of its operation.
How the home-made unit will work
The unit should work immediately after the plug is inserted into the outlet. The first thing that starts to rotate is the lower part of the system, while the carcass itself will be turned over and over again, which will be “grabbed” by fingers, and they will rid the body of feathers. Fingers are best made from environmentally friendly rubber. At the same time, the body is poured with very hot water, which does not harm the feathered skin and its structure.
Hot water washes the carcass and flushes feathers from it, while removing dirt and disinfecting. After 30 seconds, the carcasses will be processed and ready for sale. If done manually, the process will take more than one hour. In the end, it remains to check how the whole system works, first without carcasses, and then with them. You must be careful and careful when creating the device, carefully draw up drawings.There is nothing complicated in making a car yourself. The scavenger is a real helper for poultry breeders.
