DESIGN, FABRICATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS OF A SMALL SCALE DE-FEATHERING MACHINE

Article scientifique 2021 Anglais

Résumé

The aim of this work is to design and fabricate a small scale de-feathering machine and investigate into the optimal operational parameters for de-feathering. The fabricated de-feathering machine has its electric motor placed by its side for easy coupling, detachability and prolonged life span of motor. It has a door by its side for easy removal of the carcass. The materials used for the fabrication of the de-feathering machine were carefully selected to ensure minimal damage to the carcass. The optimal scalding temperature of 60 o C, scalding time of 56.56 seconds, and de-feathering time of 12 seconds was found to have the highest efficiency of 96.6 %. The machine was able to achieve the desired quality. It saves time and it is of high efficiency.
