Description

Enjoy quiet, efficient plucking with this rust-proof, maintenance-free turkey plucker machine. It features 125 CMK4 turkey plucking fingers made from 100% natural rubber, strategically spiraled inside a 21-inch food-grade plastic drum. This configuration allows feathers to be removed smoothly and evenly from wing to tail, without damaging the skin.

The food-grade plastic drum and durable rubber plucking fingers create a clean, hygienic plucking environment. Their rust-proof construction helps reduce contamination risks while protecting your birds during processing.

Maintenance is kept to a minimum thanks to the simple yet powerful patented motor design. By eliminating friction, the unit requires no lubrication and avoids common wear parts such as belts and gears. This reduces breakage, lowers long-term maintenance costs, and uses up to 50% less electricity compared to many traditional pluckers.

For added convenience, Cimuka’s design includes a built-in feather chute that allows feathers to exit the drum easily during operation. A quick rinse with a hose keeps feathers flowing through the chute, helping maintain a cleaner and more efficient workspace. Place a bucket underneath or position the unit over a drain for simple cleanup.

Reliable and easy to maintain

This made a noticeable difference in productivity. Maintenance is minimal and performance is consistent.

It is AMAZING!

I raise a heritage breed of turkey, Beltsville Small White Turkeys. Live weight is about 22 lbs. I plucked a couple dozen by hand before purchasing this plucker. It is AMAZING! It plucked the birds cleanly, even the small downy feathers under the wings. The skin was left smooth, and no tears or bruises at all.
A hint on installing those rubber fingers: use liquid dishwashing soap. I used an artist's paint brush to apply a small amount to just where the finger gets hard to pull through the hole.

Thank you for the review and for sharing your tip on installing the plucker fingers - The Hatching Time Team

Great for medium to small size Turkeys

The Plucker is great on chickens and medium to small size turkey. The overview and specification need to be written to specify Turkey size. we were only able to fit one heritage turkey in at a time. We tried to pluck a broad breasted turkey and the unit would stop until we pulled the turkey out. I would defiantly say not built for broad breasted turkey. We had three to do yesterday and after the first one we had to pluck by hand. The assembly is hard but if you use a little of cooking oil to lube helps push the fingers in. Again, great for chickens and one small to medium size turkey.

Thank you for the review, Jessica. We appreciate your feedback. We do provide weigh capacity (17.5 lbs.) and the drum's diameter size (21.2') since the bird must physically fit inside the drum and move freely among the fingers. We will review the specifications with our team. The Hatching Time Team

Great value

Product worked as described. A little hick up with assembly…. Manufacture provided insight and additional parts for free. It works great for birds under 20 lbs. easy to clean and store

Thank you for the review, John. The Hatching Time Team

Incredible

This plucker is hard to assemble, but it's really nice. It cleans the birds really well, like grocery store style.

Thank you for the review, Ana. The Hatching Time Team

The turkey pucker, 17.5 pound capacity… will it work on Cornish cross?

Hatching Time

It will work, but will have better results for turkeys. The plucker fingers placement on the drum, shape and size are designed for specific species. The weight capacity is for the gross weight of all birds combined. For best results the birds must have room to freely tumble inside the plucker drum which has the plucker fingers sticking out inside it. So even if the birds weigh less they still need space. The drum opening is 21" for both the turkey and large chicken pluckers. Chicken pluckers will give the best results for chickens.

If I buy this unit for plucking turkeys, will those finger work for chicken also? Can I buy a separate drum with the chicken fingers and just change out the drum for when I want to do turkeys or chicken or is this not recommended?

Hatching Time

Hi,

Turkey fingers will pluck chicken as well. But we recommend you testing it first. If you arent happy with the results of Turkey fingers plucking chicken, then you can buy a new drum with the Chicken plucking fingers. Drums are interchangeable.
