The Neck Breaker from Dutch Poultry Tech is designed to automatically separate and remove necks from poultry carcasses in a controlled and consistent way. Using cam-guided breaking units, the system separates the neck from the spinal column while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding skin.
The machine is equipped with double sliding blocks that ensure uniform neck breaking across all birds, improving product consistency and reducing the need for manual correction. It can be adjusted to break the neck at a specific length, depending on product requirements and downstream processing needs. All removed necks are collected in a central bin and transported to a drain system via a wiper, keeping the process clean and organised. With capacities ranging from 500 up to 6,000 birds per hour depending on configuration, the Neck Breaker offers an efficient and reliable solution for small to medium-capacity evisceration lines.
