Our Prime DCC-1 Dual Cascade Cooler for Chicken is designed to be placed after the final picker to immediately chill the birds. This helps solidify fat that has been emulsified through the picking and scalding processes, improving yield and increasing chiller efficiency down-line.
Features & Benefits
Cools birds after picking
Congeals emulsified fat from scalding and picking
Improves cooling downline
Single- and dual-bank models available
Uses chiller overflow water to reduce H2O cooling costs
Our Prime HP-3 Hock Picker is a simple, effective and proven solution to remove hock feathers quickly and efficiently. Designed with three rotating heads per side, its simple design makes maintenance and sanitation easy.
Features & Benefits
Simple, efficient and effective hock-picking solution
Three rotating heads per side
Unit hangs over and is adjustable to the overhead line
Each side is adjustable both in vertical and horizontal positions for maximum picking performance
Our Prime counter-rotating primary pickers effectively pick the fastest line speeds or stunning methods for turkeys, chickens, and ducks. The counter-rotating side banks are fully and independently adjustable in height and width to fully cover birds. In chicken applications, the picker helps reduce wing breakage, can allow for lower scald temperatures and possibly allow for a reduction in the total number of pickers used.
Features & Benefits
Adjustable side banks reduce wing breakage and allow for a wide range of bird sizes
Picks effectively to reduce number of pickers in some cases
Large banks for superior coverage
Optional bottom-picking bank for turkeys and large birds
Rubber gears reduce noise and wear
Reduce scald temperatures and pinning labor
Run faster line speeds with fewer pickers
Reduces hot water costs
A complete solution when paired with prime finishing pickers
Our Prime SBI Contromatic Counter-Rotating Pickers effectively pick the fastest line speeds or stunning methods for turkeys. The counter-rotating side banks are fully and independently adjustable in height and width to fully cover the birds. A hydraulically adjustable bottom bank picks the birds shoulder and neck before it enters the finishing picker. The SBI Contromatic is the most popular picking solution for turkey in the U.S.
Features & Benefits
Adjustable side banks reduce wing breakage and allow for a wide range of bird sizes
Large banks for superior coverage
Bottom-picking back targets turkey necks and shoulders
Rubber gears reduce noise and wear
Reduce scald temperatures and pinning labor
Run faster line speeds with fewer pickers
Reduces hot water costs
A complete solution when paired with prime finishing pickers

Our Prime Equipment Group offers complete paw processing systems for chicken, from customized processing lines to individual equipment to additions or replacements to that will add yield improvements to your existing line.
Our Prime PPS-SERIES Paw Scalder offers an efficient solution for paw-pad cleaning. Hot water scalds feet for improved removal of ammonia burns. The PPS series, available in six, eight, and 10-foot options, can also be used as part of a complete paw-processing system with the Prime In-Line Paw Scrubber, which produces maximum paw yield. When used down-line from Primes In-line Paw Scrubber (ILPS), the PPS-series Paw Scalder gains new efficiencies to reduce hot water usage and lower operating costs. In this application, the Paw Scalder serves as a final cleaning step after the ILPS. Therefore, water temperature in the scalder can be lower, preserving fat and increasing final product weight.
Features & Benefits
When used with In-Line Paw Scrubber:
Simple design with proven industry performance
Can be used alone or with prime in-line paw scrubber as a system
Maximizes paw yield and upgraded paws
Air-assisted top cover lift for easy maintenance
When used with inline paw scrubber, additional hot water savings can be realized
Additional benefits when used with In-Line Paw Scrubber:
Works well down-line from In-Line Paw Scrubber
Lower H2O temperatures for heating savings
Lower-temperature water preserves fat content in final product, increasing yield
Our Prime ILPS-1 In-Line Paw Scrubber is a cost-effective and sanitary solution to remove ammonia burn marks and cuticle from paws while the paw is on-line in the shackle. The machine allows for increased export revenue for paws, increasing saleable paw yield and increasing grade value.
Features & Benefits
Upgrades More B-Grade paws to A-Grade and removes cuticle from paws in shackle
Interchangeable scrubber segments for various bird sizes
Part of a complete solution for paw-processing
Reduces hot water requirement and dwell time for paw scalder machines down-line
