# | Comparison Item | Semi-Automatic Plant | Fully Automatic Plant |
1 | Production Capacity | 300 – 4,000 birds/hour | 4,000 – 12,000 birds/hour |
2 | Evisceration Process | Manual removal using labor | Fully automatic evisceration (7 machines performing consecutive tasks) |
3 | Number of Workers | Higher, relies on labor | Lower, relies on automation |
4 | Cost | Relatively low | Very high |
5 | Power Consumption | Lower | Higher due to more machinery |
All components are made from 304 food-grade stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and compliant with food safety and quality standards.
Key factors to consider:
# | Factor | Description |
1 | Budget | Define your total investment — not just equipment cost, but also land, construction, licensing, power generators, cold storage, and logistics. |
2 | Market Study | Analyze your target market size and forecast growth, plan for scalable equipment and storage capacity. |
3 | Poultry fam Ownership | If you own poultry farms, determine how many days you need to slaughter your flock — efficiency affects cost. |
Factor | 220V | 380V |
Type | Single Phase | Three Phase |
Use | Small devices or home equipment | Industrial equipment, conveyors, fans, pluckers |
Capacity | Up to 3 HP | Over 3 HP and beyond |
Advantages | Available everywhere | More efficient, stable, longer motor life |
Disadvantages | Overheating, limited load | Requires a 3-phase meter installation |
Recommendation: 380V is preferred for stability and efficiency.
At the beginning, as a poultry plant owner, you must have a dedicated maintenance department capable of handling breakdowns or spare part replacements quickly and efficiently.
Of course, this should be supported by direct technical assistance from the equipment manufacturer, who provides spare parts and specialized technicians upon request.
In every poultry processing line, there are specific components that must always be available in stock to ensure continuous operation:
Overhead Conveyor Line (Slaughter Chain)
This section includes several key components that must always be available:
Plucking Machine (De-Feathering Unit)
Scalding Tank:
Electrical Control Panel:
Preventive maintenance and adequate spare parts availability are key to keeping your poultry processing line running efficiently.
At El Masreya Industrial Group, we provide full after-sales service, original spare parts, and technical support to ensure continuous and reliable operation.
Of course, this is not possible, and here are the main reasons:
# | Item | Explanation |
1 | Type of Shackle Used | Each type of bird requires a different shackle design. For example, the legs of ducks, turkeys, and quails differ significantly in size and shape. |
2 | Bird Weight | Every species has a different average weight. For instance, a turkey can reach up to 25 kg, requiring a specially reinforced overhead conveyor system to support it. |
3 | Bleeding Time | Each slaughterhouse line is designed with precise timing for every stage. For example: chickens require 2 minutes, turkeys 5 minutes, and quails about 1 minute for proper bleeding. |
4 | Scalding Stage | Each type of bird needs a different scalding temperature and duration to ensure efficient feather removal without damaging the skin. |
5 | Plucker (De-Feathering Machine) | Every species requires a specific plucker configuration — the disc size and rubber finger dimensions vary according to the bird’s size and feather density. |
Conclusion:
It is not feasible to process all types of birds on a single production line due to the above differences in design, equipment, and processing parameters.
Elmasreya Group produces slaughter lines ranges from 300 to 4,000 birds/hour (semi-automatic).
This mainly depends on the type of final product the poultry plant aims to sell - whether it is frozen or fresh poultry.
In this case, the cooling process must be carried out using a water chiller tank.
In this case, the cooling is performed using an air chiller system instead of water immersion.
The cost depends on:
Licensing is granted by the General Authority for Veterinary Services (GAVS) in coordination with:
The plant must comply with:
A poultry processing plant is a comprehensive project that consists of several stages - starting from obtaining the necessary permits, followed by construction, and the installation of essential utilities such as water, electricity, gas and sewage systems.
The final stage involves the installation of the poultry processing equipment, which is considered the easiest and fastest phase of the entire project.
Even for high-capacity production lines, the manufacturing period of the equipment does not exceed two months, while the installation and commissioning phase typically takes no more than one month.
Yes, it is possible to export poultry products from an automatic poultry processing plant.
However, several specific requirements and conditions must be met in order to obtain official approval for export and to be included in the “white list” of establishments authorized to export to international markets.
These conditions include:
Yes, modern facilities are designed to:
Yes. Semi-automatic lines can be upgraded by extending the conveyor and adding extra machines
There is no technical difference - all systems produced by El-Masreya Industrial Group meet international quality and hygiene standards.
