Paw Picker Function:

  • Mechanical Scrubbing: The paw picker features rotating drums or rollers equipped with rubber fingers or abrasive surfaces. As the feet pass through these rotating elements, the rubber fingers gently scrub and peel off the loosened outer skin and any remaining dirt.
  • Water Jets: Many paw pickers incorporate water jets to assist in washing away the detached skin and contaminants. The combination of mechanical action and water ensures thorough cleaning.
  • Debris Collection: The machine includes a system for collecting the removed skin and debris, ensuring a clean processing environment and preventing re-contamination of the paws.
