One of the sturdiest looking pluckers I've ever seen. If you ever have issues with belt tension any common belt tensioner like for a vehicle should do the job.

Thanks. Working with the pucker after the build also worked out good. I had not issues at all and it plucked really good. Some of the chickens got their skin ripped off, but that's not the pucker its the heat of the water when scalding. I will maybe work on a boiler next year.

I bought a bag of 50 fingers for this pucker. I spaced the fingers about 2" apart.

Fingers are made out of rubber. Just google chicken fingers and you can find some.

So many things wrong here, turn motor over so belt is on bottom, put motor on a hinged mount so you can put a tension bolt on it to tighten belt as being that loose it’ll slip the first time it has a load, use drum without all the holes, a discharge for feathers and water opposite of motor, none of these would increase cost as the parts are already there.

Wow, awesome feedback, thank you!!. It worked really well as it is; but now that you said all these things it makes perfect sense. Where were you when I was building it ?. If I have time this summer I will come back and try and make it better. Thanks again.

The bottom is open so I just put a tray under to collect the feathers. I do have to stop after about three chickens just to clear out the sides of the drum.

No gearbox. Just a v- belt running on pulley.

Did it work? Make video of it plucking, don’t leave us hanging, very interesting build.

Yes it worked like a charm. Sorry for not showing the actual plucking, did not want to offend anyone (easy to offend these days, but they still eat them tasty chickens...) It worked almost too good, plucking a chicken in 30-40 seconds, even the small hairs/feathers came off. I did have one or two hick-ups but that's on me, I let the water get to hot and then it pulled some of the skin off. Also with the bottom open all the feathers were collected in a drum-lid and it was not problem cleaning it after. So all in all a nice build that actually work, so impressed also with my pig feeder working like magic. Stay tuned this spring I'm finishing my green/hot house for planting tomatoes.
