Compact Chicken Slaughter Line 300-1000BPH for Poultry Processing

Mobile Chicken Slaughterhouse & Small Scale Poultry Slaughter Line

MERIDIAN mobile poultry slaughterhouse processing line is suitable for 500 up to 1000 chickens per hour.

The system is shipped fully assembled, wired up and almost ready to run. There is no need for costly installation visits by our engineering team. You need to connect 3 phase power to the control cabinet, and water to several machines. 

This compact slaughter line is purpose-built for small and medium poultry farms,
mobile slaughtering units, and startup processors who need a complete,
production-ready line without the cost and lead time of a custom-engineered
plant. Its modular structure covers every stage from live bird intake to
chilling, making it a practical entry point for operators scaling up from
manual processing.

Main Equipment

1. Overhead Conveyor – transports live birds through each processing stage on an automated line.
2. Live Bird Hang-on Table – ergonomic station for hanging birds onto the line shackles.

3. Water Bath Stunner– electrically stuns birds prior to slaughter for humane, consistent processing

4. Bleeding Trough – collects blood during the bleeding stage to maintain a hygienic work area.

5. Scalder – loosens feathers with controlled hot-water immersion ahead of plucking.

6. Plucker – removes feathers mechanically, reducing manual labor and processing time.

7. Evisceration Trough – supports hygienic removal of internal organs.

8. Unloader – removes finished carcasses from the overhead line for the next stage.

9. Water Chilling Tank – rapidly cools carcasses to food-safe temperatures after processing.

10. Steel Construction – food-grade steel frame and components built for wash-down environments.
