Chicken Feet Peeling Machine
The chicken feet peeling machine removes the yellow outer skin efficiently through friction between materials and rubber rods. Inside the machine are special rubber rods, which create friction between the chicken’s feet and the rods to remove the skin.
This chicken feet peeling machine is one of the most important machines in the chicken feet peeling and cleaning line.


| Parameter | 1T Capacity | 2T Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Machine Size | 3000×900×1300 mm | 3000×900×1300 mm |

| Quantity | 1 Unit | 2 Units |
| 재료 | 304 Stainless Steel | 304 Stainless Steel |


Bubble Cleaning Machine
After peeling, the chicken feet enter the bubble cleaning machine. This machine uses air bubbles and circulating water to remove remaining impurities and skin residues.
The bubble cleaning process ensures that the chicken feet meet hygiene standards before entering the next processing stage.
| Parameter | 1T Capacity | 2T Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Machine Size | 4000×1280×1300 mm | 6000×1380×1300 mm |
| Transmission Power | 1.1 kW | 1.5 kW |

| Air Pump Power | 1.5 kW | 2.2 kW |
| Conveyor Width | 600 mm | 800 mm |



Sorting Conveyor
The sorting conveyor allows workers to inspect chicken feet and remove defective products visually. This step ensures better product quality before cutting and grading.
| Parameter | 1T Capacity | 2T Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Machine Size | 4000×900×1000 mm | 5000×900×1000 mm |
| 힘 | 0.75 kW | 1.1 kW |
| Belt Width | 600 mm | 800 mm |
| 재료 | 304 Stainless Steel | 304 Stainless Steel |


Chicken Feet Cutting Machine
The chicken feet cutting machine separates the chicken feet claws from the tail bone. After cutting, the final product becomes phoenix claws, which have a higher market value in many countries.
The cutting size can be adjusted according to production requirements.
| Parameter | 1T Capacity | 2T Capacity |
