500 BPH Small Chicken Processing Facility

500 BPH Chicken Slaughterhouse Solution

1. Project Overview

The 500 BPH chicken slaughterhouse solution is a compact, complete poultry processing concept developed by Qingdao Raniche Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. to demonstrate our ability to design entry-level but fully functional slaughterhouses.

This solution is positioned as a starter model, especially suitable for customers who are entering poultry processing or upgrading from manual slaughter to a basic mechanized line.

Although the capacity is small, the design follows the same engineering logic, workflow discipline, and hygiene principles applied in larger industrial projects.

2. Design Positioning & Typical Applications

The 500 BPH solution is designed for customers who:

• Operate in local or regional markets

• Have limited workshop space and investment budget

• Require a simple, easy-to-manage processing line

• Need a reference layout for future expansion

• Process whole chickens with basic packing

It is widely used as a foundation model, allowing gradual upgrades to 800–1000 BPH in the future.

3. Processing Flow Description

The processing workflow is designed to be linear, clear, and easy to operate:

1. Live bird receiving and crate handling

2. Stunning or manual slaughter

3. Bleeding section

4. Scalding

5. Defeathering

6. Head removal

7. Evisceration

8. Feet cutting and unloading

9. Carcass washing

10. Pre-chilling

11. Packing or dispatch

This flow minimizes backtracking and simplifies daily operation.

4. Functional Layout & Zoning (Display Description)

 Live Bird & Slaughter Area

Includes crate conveyors, overhead killing line, stunning position, bleeding trough, scalding tank, and plucking machine.
Designed as the dirty zone, with easy cleaning and drainage.

 Evisceration & Processing Area

A semi-clean area where carcasses are opened, organs are removed, and feet are processed manually or semi-automatically.

 Pre-Chilling Area

A compact pre-chilling system lowers carcass temperature before packing or further handling.

 Packing & Auxiliary Area

Includes working tables, packing machines, and temporary storage or dispatch space.

 Staff & Utility Space

Basic changing room, washing area, and equipment cleaning space are included to support daily operation.
