The Automatic Neck Skin Cutter makes consistent accurate cuts of the neck skin with the use of a circular stainless steel blade. Mounted over the overhead conveyor and driven by a 1 HP motor, the Neck Skin Cutter has minimal moving parts. Sharpening of the circular blade and lubrication of bearings is all the servicing necessary. Its compact design requires very little space for installation and is usually located at the end of the eviscerating line, although it can be installed over giblet chillers so necks can be dropped directly into them. It's constructed almost entirely of high grade stainless steel and can be easily cleaned due to it's simple smooth design and easy accessibility.      View complete product brochure

The Automatic Neck Skinner is designed to fully remove the skin from the neck without damaging the final product. It has the capability to perform efficiently at a capacity of 182 necks per minute. A special unloading device guarantees trouble-free discharge and removable covers have been installed to allow easy access to the skinning mechanism for cleaning purposes.

This 2 HP, chain driven machine removes the skin from poultry necks by means of peeler rollers, as the birds emerge from the Inside/Outside washer. This unit features two 1/4" NPT valves for independent water pressure, manual adjustment to peeler rollers through five spray nozzles, and to one nozzle for the skin through wash. It is available in both right and left hand versions and is height-adjustable to meet your line requirements. Constructed of stainless steel, it features two proximity switches for instant power cut-off should an attempt be made to remove either of the see through lexan safety shields. Two unique built-in pivoting clamps allow the safety guard enclosing the peeler rollers to be removed in seconds for wash-down and reinstallation, without tools or fasteners.

The Oil Sac Cutter is designed to remove the oil gland from the tail of the chickens as they move along the processing line. This is accomplished by taking control of the carcass with an infeed chain and guiding the tail into a pinch point where the oil gland is forced into the opening of a V-shaped blade. As the tail is forced across the V-notch, the oil gland is pinched and cut away from the tail. The amount of tissue that is removed is variable and determined by the pressure applied to the tail. The Oil Sac Cutter is constructed entirely of stainless steel components, which promotes sanitation and minimum maintenance. Efficiency is typically in the high nineties and the average weight removed is the lowest in the industry today. The unit is powered from the overhead conveyor, can be adapted to a number of conveyor types, and can be manufactured to process birds on 6", 8", and 9" centers at speeds up to 9,000 pH.

The process of viscera removal is one that can create many problems for processing managers and supervisors. The Viscera Harvester provides the perfect solution to those problems providing high yields, no broken hocks, backbones or ribs coupled with low cost maintenance and simple adjustments making it a pleasure to have around. It's driven directly by the overhead conveyor and requires no electricity (an optional electrically powered brush is available for probe cleaning).

Water is required to rinse each probe after the viscera package has been released. A minimal amount of air pressure is needed to keep the jaws of each probe closed during the cycle. The Viscera Harvester is installed after the heart and liver harvesting operation and removes the viscera package from the bird. The package, which includes the gizzard, is released into the gizzard harvester. This uniform process of removal and release of the package will help your gizzard harvester perform at its maximum capability. It also complies with all USDA regulations. All parts that contact the bird are constructed of stainless steel.     View complete product brochure

The Cantrell Model EH-20 Viscera Harvester efficiently removes the viscera package and delivers it to the Gizzard Harvester.  Installed after the Heart & Liver Harvester, the EH-20 removes the viscera package (including the crop) by clamping onto the proventriculus then pulling the package from the bird.  The remaining entrails are released from the clamping device and dropped into the Gizzard Harvester.  The unique clamping device provides consistent removal with the package positioned on the back of the bird on either the right or left side.  The EH-20 is driven by the overhead conveyor, therefore eliminating the need for electricity or air assuring complete synchronization with the processing line.  Constructed of stainless steel and UHMW Polymer, the unit provides easy sanitation with minimal operational adjustments.     View complete product brochure
