Poultry Killing Cone

Poultry Killing Cone System

The Poultry Killing Cone is designed to securely restrain individual poultry birds during controlled slaughtering operations. Its tapered design holds the bird in a stable position and supports an organized workflow before bleeding and subsequent poultry-processing stages.

Bird Restraining System

The cone securely positions the bird while limiting unnecessary movement during the slaughtering process. Its shape allows the bird to remain contained while providing access to the required processing area.

Cone Structure

The tapered cone provides an enclosed holding space suitable for individual poultry birds. The opening and overall dimensions can be selected according to bird size and processing requirements.

Mounting System

Killing cones can be installed on a fixed support frame, wall-mounted structure or dedicated slaughtering rack. Secure mounting keeps the cone stable during operation.

Bird Entry Opening

The upper opening allows the bird to be placed into the cone before processing. The opening size can vary according to the intended poultry size.

Lower Opening

The lower portion provides controlled positioning of the bird during the slaughtering stage and allows the processing area to remain accessible.

Drainage Arrangement

The cone installation can be combined with a collection tray or drainage arrangement beneath the processing area to collect blood and other processing fluids and direct them toward an appropriate waste-management system.

Material & Construction

The cone is manufactured from a durable, corrosion-resistant material suitable for repeated poultry-processing use. Smooth surfaces facilitate cleaning and sanitation after processing.

Working Principle

A bird is placed into the upper opening of the Poultry Killing Cone, where the tapered structure holds it securely in position. The restrained bird remains contained while the operator performs the required slaughtering and bleeding procedure in accordance with applicable animal-welfare, hygiene and food-processing requirements.

After the bleeding stage, the bird is removed and transferred to subsequent processing equipment such as scalding and defeathering machinery.

Construction Details

The Poultry Killing Cone consists of a tapered body, upper bird-entry opening, lower processing opening and mounting arrangement. Multiple cones can be installed on a common stainless-steel support frame to create a dedicated poultry bleeding station.

A collection tray or drainage system can be positioned below the cones to maintain a cleaner processing area and direct waste fluids toward an appropriate collection point.

Maintenance Requirements

• Clean and sanitize the cone after each processing cycle.

• Remove blood, feathers and processing residues promptly.

• Inspect the cone surface for cracks, dents or corrosion.

• Check mounting brackets and support structures regularly.

• Ensure the cone remains securely fixed during operation.

• Keep drainage and collection areas free from blockage.

• Use appropriate food-processing cleaning procedures.

• Replace damaged or heavily worn components when required.

Safety Features

The cone provides controlled restraint and helps reduce unnecessary bird movement during processing. Secure mounting, smooth surfaces and appropriate drainage should be maintained to support safe and hygienic operation. Processing personnel should follow applicable poultry-welfare, occupational-safety and food-hygiene requirements when using the equipment.
