The Head Puller from Dutch Poultry Tech is a specialised machine designed to automate head removal in the poultry processing line, positioned immediately after the killing stage. Removing the head efficiently is essential for maintaining hygiene, preparing carcasses for evisceration, and ensuring a smooth workflow through subsequent processing steps.

Once birds pass the kill cut, they enter the Head Puller where a controlled pulling mechanism gently detaches the head from the carcass. This automated solution eliminates the need for manual head removal, improving efficiency and delivering consistent results across all birds, regardless of line speed.

Accurate head removal contributes to better processing quality and reduced handling time, allowing workers to focus on other critical tasks. The machine’s design ensures that heads are removed cleanly at the correct point, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue and helping to maintain carcass presentation.

Key features include:

• Controlled pulling action for precise head detachment.
• Designed for overhead conveyor integration for continuous operation.
• Simple and accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
• Stable performance that supports medium and high‑capacity lines.

The Head Puller is built with hygienic materials and an open design to facilitate fast cleaning. Its seamless integration into overhead conveyor lines supports uninterrupted processing, making it an effective addition to both new and existing poultry lines.

By automating head removal, this machine enhances operational flow, supports product quality, and helps processors achieve higher throughput with less manual intervention.
