Product Overview
The Sheep and Goat Hoof Dehairing Machine removes loosened hair and surface residue from pre‑scalded feet. A rotating internal grid tumbles the batch so that friction works around irregular hoof surfaces. This is a by‑product processing machine, not a scalding vessel: best results depend on correct hot‑water preparation before loading.
The reference unit has a 1.2 m drum and a 7.5 kW drive. Base, shell and rotary grid are stainless steel, and the machine includes hot/cold water mixing and a drain outlet. The stated output is 1,440 sheep hooves per hour. That figure should be converted into realistic batch weight and cycle time during selection, because raw‑material size and scald quality affect each load.
Working Principle
Pre‑scalded hooves are loaded into the drum and the cover is secured. The motor rotates the internal grid, causing the hooves to tumble and rub against the working surfaces and one another. Warm water supplied through the mixing valve carries loosened hair and debris toward the drain. After the timed cycle, the drum stops and the cleaned batch is discharged for inspection and any manual finishing. The machine is rinsed between production lots and opened for full sanitation after use.

Application
The machine is installed in the hoof or by‑product room downstream of a dedicated scalding tank. It serves sheep and goat processing plants producing cleaned feet for edible, pet‑food or rendering channels, subject to local rules. The area needs floor drainage, screened hair collection, hot and cold water, safe batch lifting and a workflow that separates raw, processed and rejected material.
Reference Application Case
Reference application: a sheep plant collects feet in perforated baskets, scalds them at a validated temperature near 60°C and tips one measured batch into the dehairer. Warm rinse water runs during the cycle, while a removable screen captures hair before the drain. The operator inspects a sample at discharge and sends incomplete pieces through manual finishing rather than extending every cycle. Batch records are used to adjust scald time when wool condition changes. This example is operational guidance, not a verified customer claim.
Advantages
1. Processes many hooves in one controlled batch
2. Reduces repetitive manual scraping
3. Stainless working chamber supports frequent sanitation
4. Water mixing helps maintain a suitable rinse condition
5. Separate scalding and dehairing stages allow each process to be adjusted independently
