    This Plucker is better than any $1500+ unit on the market, by far.
    Great Job 👏🏽
    Thank you for the list of items and NOT spending 10 minutes talking at the beginning of the video and sharing random thoughts about nothing.
    Also, thanks for NOT blasting loud music while filming!
    This was a Great quality video, too.

    Dude.. good job! And I really appreciate (not many care) the fact that you cut the neck on the bird neatly, instead of just chopping his head off. Not many people do that

      Thanks! My wife is the poultry researcher while I am infrastructure… she is very concerned with humane treatment and also explained to me the importance of keeping the spinal cord in tact for feather release. So far it seems she is spot on and things have gone well.

      ​@@michaelwescott8064It is so much more humane as the spinal cord still attached, it allows the body to send a message to the brain the O2 level is low, so the brain starts sending a message to the body to move quickly as an Alert which allows almost all of the blood to exit which means there is no bacteria (which could be found in coagulated blood) present. And by that quick movement and faster blood pressure, the brain enters unconsciousness faster than when the spinal cord is still attached and by that time the bird just d!es much quicker!

      @@samuelwiltzius Nice work. Have a question about number of fingers you used. Southern Engineering used 152 but you seem to follow the Whizbang plans on that one and they used 125. Did you have any problems with the fingers NOT doing a good job? S.E. says he used 3/16 plate but the .125 says he used 1/8. What did you use?

    • @samuelwiltzius
      @samuelwiltzius  Рік тому +1

      @@Bobcagon thanks! I had great luck with chicken and pheasant with the wiz bang finger layout… but geese and turkey took longer (50-75% more spin) so I added more fingers after looking at commercial plucker finger layout and also increased the speed to 315 rpm - I feel this has optimized the plucker and there are no more gains to be had. The feather plate is from chickenpluckerparts.com and is .190" 5052-H32 Aluminum

    First off, Kudo’s for giving Southern Engineering his credit. He did a great job but he’s kind if disappeared.
    You really stepped it up and I can’t wait to get your parts list and see your more detailed video. Most Excellent Job!
    Two challenges for you: One, we need a scalder and two, I want to build a honey extractor which could likely be built similar to this plucker. Thanks!

    • @samuelwiltzius
      @samuelwiltzius  2 роки тому +1

      Not sure on the honey extractor - I have bees (build my own frames and boxes) my extractor is second hand and all stainless steel - probably better to buy that and DIY add a motor. The plucker I built was expensive (see end of long video I posted) but scalder was cheap. I briefly talk about the scalder in a video showing how my wife and I process birds, I’ll find a link for that.
      A scalder is just a barrel/pot of some type, 2000W hot water element, 10 gauge extension cord, water heater lower thermostat (residential goes to 150, commercial hotter but more money) and 1" FPT Bulkhead Water Tank Connector Stainless Steel Thru-bulk Fitting (Amazon.com name). A hole saw and a few pop rivets and it’s built.

      undecided... The cost ran close to $900 for parts alone.
