Duck Wax Removal Equipment for Waterfowl Slaughterhouse

Product Overview

The Automatic Poultry Dewaxing Machine is specially designed for removing hardened wax layers from duck and goose carcasses after the wax dipping and cooling process.

In waterfowl processing, ducks and geese usually have a large amount of fine down feathers that cannot be completely removed by traditional plucking equipment. Wax treatment is widely used to capture remaining fine feathers.

After wax dipping, the carcass enters a cooling process where the wax layer becomes solid. The dewaxing machine then removes the hardened wax together with the remaining fine feathers, improving the final carcass appearance.

Huatao automatic dewaxing machine provides:

• Continuous wax removal

• Stable processing performance

• Reduced manual labor

• Improved product quality

The equipment is mainly used in:

• Duck slaughterhouses

• Goose processing plants

• Waterfowl meat processing factories

The dewaxing process is an important step in duck processing lines, especially for export-oriented waterfowl products requiring clean skin appearance.

Working Principle

The automatic dewaxing machine is installed after the wax dipping and wax cooling sections.

When the wax-coated duck carcasses enter the machine through the overhead conveyor, rotating dewaxing rollers or scraping devices contact the hardened wax surface.

Through mechanical friction and controlled pressure:

1. The wax layer is separated from the carcass skin.

2. Remaining down feathers are removed together with the wax.

3. The removed wax and feather mixture is collected for recycling or disposal.

The machine parameters can be adjusted according to:

• Duck size

• Wax thickness

• Conveyor speed

• Processing requirements

Application

The automatic poultry dewaxing machine is mainly used in duck and goose slaughtering plants where wax dipping technology is applied.

During waterfowl processing, fine feathers around the skin are difficult to remove completely using standard plucking equipment. Wax dipping creates a coating layer that captures these feathers.

After cooling, the dewaxing machine removes the wax coating and remaining feather residues before the next processing stage.

Typical applications include:

• Commercial duck slaughterhouses

• Goose processing factories

• Frozen duck export plants

• Integrated waterfowl processing lines
