Paw Picker Function:
- Mechanical Removal: The paw picker recovery system uses a combination of rotating drums or rollers equipped with rubber fingers or other abrasive materials. As the paws pass through the machine, the rubber fingers gently but effectively scrape off the outer skin and any remaining dirt.
- Cleaning: The process involves both mechanical action and often a water spray to help wash away the loosened skin and contaminants. This dual action ensures that the paws are thoroughly cleaned.
- Collection of Debris: The system typically includes a mechanism for collecting the removed skin and debris, ensuring that the processing area remains clean and minimizing the risk of contamination.
The paw picker recovery system is designed to be efficient and hygienic, reducing the need for manual labor and ensuring a consistent product. By automating the cleaning process, it helps maintain high standards of food safety and quality in poultry processing plants.
