Studies have shown that mechanical means of de-feathering will lead to an increased poultry processing rate. This study evaluated a de-feathering machine with scalding tank. The machine was evaluated in terms of machine plucking time, machine capacity and machine efficiency. A completely randomized experimental design was carried out using three poultry birds (broiler, cockerel and layer) and three scalding temperatures (60, 70 and 80 oC) at machine constant speed of 480 rpm and at three replicates. The average machine plucking time obtained were 21.0, 20.6 and 23.3 s for broiler, layer and cockerel respectively. The average machine capacities were 175, 179 and 159 birds/hr for broiler, layer and cockerel birds respectively while the average machine efficiencies were 95, 93 and 90% for broiler, layer and cockerel birds respectively. The machine plucking time reduced from 28 s to 19 s with an increase in scalding temperature from 60 to 80oC for the different poultry breeds. The highest machine efficiency obtained were 96, 94 and 95% for broiler, layer and cockerel birds respectively at 70oC temperature. The machine capacity increased from 131 to 197 birds/hr with an increase in temperature from 60 to 80oC for the different poultry breeds. The optimum machine capacity was obtained at 80oC with values 194, 197 and 180 birds/hr for broiler, layer and cockerel birds respectively.
