Steps To Be Followed When Building A Drill Chicken Plucker

By Helene Norris


An activity that will almost always eat up most of your time is plucking chicken. It is even more time consuming when you have many birds to work on. A drill chicken plucker is one of the most recent devices that have been made to fasten chicken plucking. You may want to use plastic barrel pluckers, but these are very expensive.

Its construction requires basic materials that are bought from hardware stores, and the main one being a hand drill. The device makes plucking the feathers much easier and faster after the chicken has been dipped in water that is at boiling point. Its construction is very simple and the following steps should be followed carefully to achieve the best results.

All materials should be prepared in advance before commencing with the procedure. The main materials include two wooden boards (2x8 inches and 3/4x3/4 inches). Ensure you have your protective gear on to avoid injuries or harm during the procedure.

You can now start by laying down the 2 by8 board. You should then align the carpet on the end of the board that you want the fan motor to be held, and then attach it to the staples that are 1/2inch. Take your drill and create a hole measuring half an inch into the piece of plywood that is 6 by 6. In preparation of mounting the motor, you will be required to drill four holes.

In the next step, take the 2x8 piece of wood, attach it to the plywood and then mount the motor onto it. You will use the 3/4 by 3/4 inch piece of wood to hold together the two pieces of plywood. At the opposite side of the motor, mount the electrical box. After this, wire together the cord, switch and motor.

The plucking fingers should then be prepared and attached. 15 holes are then drilled all round the exterior of the PVC cap, and each should have a measurement of 0.4 of an inch. Make sure that each hole is as close to the next as possible because the cap is tiny.

Two holes should follow one another in the first row and one hole should be at the central part in the row that follows next. Ensure that this pattern is uniform all round the cap. Starting from inside out, the finger pluckers should be inserted into the holes one by one.

At the end of the PVC cap, a hole measuring 0.5 inch should be drilled. Ensure it is placed at the middle part so that it can be able to spin. To one of the ends of the fan motor mounting collar, the threaded rod's welding should be done.

Nuts measuring 0.5 inch should be used to fasten the end of the rod immediately the collar is mounted to the motor. Your hand made drill chicken plucker is complete. What you have to do now is to prepare your chicken faster and your bird meal will be ready almost immediately. Removing feathers from chicken is sometimes very ugly and takes a substantial amount of time, but with this item, you can be assured of a great change and saved time as well. Plucking chickens'll not be time consuming as before, and you can be certain that it will be ready in no time.
