Both the Meyn Plucker JM series and the JMD2 are basic yet highly effective plucking solutions designed for poultry processors seeking affordability and reliability. With strong, sturdy construction, adjustable plucking banks, and a tilting cabinet for easy cleaning, these systems deliver consistent plucking performance at a low operational cost. They are an excellent choice for processors looking for a simple, user-friendly solution.
The JM series plucker is a so-called “attack plucker,” typically positioned at the beginning of the plucking line and designed to remove the majority of feathers. The two cabinets in the JM series each include two beams. Each cabinet can be adjusted in height, width, and angle. The JM series is available in two configurations to fit different layouts:
The JMD2 plucker is a so-called “finishing plucker,” commonly placed at the end of the plucking line. It is specifically adjusted to remove the feathers that remain after the attack pluckers. The JMD2 includes four individual beams, each adjustable in height, width, and angle.
Some customers choose to use the JMD2 exclusively for the entire plucking line. One advantage of this setup is that the pluckers can be arranged in a "tunnel" formation to precisely cover the entire surface of the bird.
Both Meyn pluckers use belt-driven plucking discs. The benefit of the belt system is that if one disc becomes jammed, it does not affect the operation of the others—unlike systems with geared discs. Additionally, belt-driven systems generate less noise than gear-driven alternatives.
The Meyn JM series and JMD2 pluckers efficiently remove feathers from poultry carcasses, delivering high performance while minimizing manual labor. Their robust design allows for easy operation, cleaning, and maintenance, making them a practical choice for processors in need of a basic plucking system. Adjustable cabinets or banks also allow the pluckers to accommodate various bird sizes, increasing flexibility in poultry processing operations.
For poultry processors seeking a proven plucking system that delivers reliable performance, Meyn Pluckers offer an effective and easy-to-use solution. Their durable construction ensures long service life, while the simple design reduces maintenance requirements—making them an ideal option for entry-level processing facilities.
