This is an elevator, blancers, peelers, washers, cutters - all hooked up in one pre-processing line. Runs on its own, barely needs people. Fresh or thawed chicken feet go in, dirt comes off, skin peels away, blood and stains get washed out, and then it cuts and trims. End result? Clean, standardised feet, ready for whatever's next.
Runs steadily. Quality stays consistent. Waste is low.
Automates blanching, peeling, washing, cutting, sorting. Moves fast.
Handles frozen, seasoned, export-grade. No problem.
Standard 1 or 2 tons/hour. Other sizes? We can do that too. Let us know.
Complete chicken feet processing line
Lerford's chicken paw line does scalding, de-skinning, washing, and cutting. Runs fully automated when linked together, or you can use each unit separately. See the table below for detailed specs.
The production line can be expanded to incorporate a chicken-foot weight grader and a vacuum packaging machine, optimising the grading, sorting, and vacuum sealing processes to meet the full-process production needs of chicken-foot deep processing in a one-stop solution.

Dual-purpose design for higher flexibility
The full set of machines can be linked together as an assembly line for mass production, while each single unit can also work independently. Small processing plants do not need to invest in the complete line at one time, and you can add more machines later when orders grow.
Compatible with auxiliary machines to form a full one-stop production line
This basic pre-processing line can be extended with a weight grading machine and avacuum packaging machine. It completes the whole workflow from cleaning chicken paws to grading and packaging in one go, with no need to buy separate equipment from other suppliers.
Save labour, shorten production time and lower raw material waste
In traditional manual processing, blanching, peeling, washing and trimming require dozens of workers. This line only needs one or two operators for full supervision. The machines apply even pressure during peeling and cutting, so chicken paws will not be easily broken, maximising raw material utilisation.
Cleaner finished chicken paws with better market appeal
It is hard for manual work to fully remove theyellow skin and dirt hidden between the toes. Our multi-stage peeling and washing system produces clean, blood-free chicken paws with a nice appearance. The marinated and pickled finished products can easily pass food inspections and supermarket acceptance standards.
Premium material, easy maintenance and long service life
The whole line is made of stainless steel, rust-proof even under long-term hot water processing. Residues and sewage can be cleaned effortlessly. The equipment has a low failure rate, cutting frequent maintenance costs in the long run.
Wide compatibility for all types of chicken paw products
It processes both fresh and frozen chicken paws, capable of producing whole paws or segmented cuts. Perfect for marinated chicken paws, pickled phoenix claws and other products to diversify your product portfolio.
What are the application scenarios?
Large food processing plants - they're making ready-to-eat chicken paws at scale, like braised, pickled pepper, or salt-baked. The machine slides in with blanching, washing, cutting, braising, and packaging. Handles high volume, runs continuously.
Ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat meal makers - this thing is their core pre-processing gear. Gets the paws clean and skinned, ready to go into meal kits or RTE products.
Small and medium-sized workshops or processing plants - perfect if you're not huge. Replaces hand-skinning, cuts labour costs. Great for bulk cooked snacks or fresh paws sold to local markets.
Cold-chain fresh food distributors - they need frozen paws skinned evenly, then packed cold and shipped out to supermarkets, farmers' markets, or restaurants. This machine handles that.
Catering central kitchens - for restaurant chains or hotel kitchens that want to centralise paw pre-processing. Standardised results, consistent quality, efficient prep.
After going through the full pre-treatment line - blanching, peeling, washing, cutting - the chicken feet come out clean and ready for the next step. They typically go into three main snack products: braised, "tiger-skin," and pickled pepper. Each has its own way of being processed, its own texture, its own flavor profile. And if you look at what sells best in most processing plants, these three are right at the top.

A Simple Workflow
Here's how it works. You start by blanching the feet to get them soft. Then peel off that yellow skin, give them a good wash to clean off any residue. After that, they go through a sorting machine - workers manually pick out any bad ones. Then cutting and trimming them into smaller sections. If you want, you can throw a weight grader in there to sort them by weight automatically. The last step is packaging, then they're ready to go out or sit in storage.

What are the features?
This system is modular - each unit, like the scaler, peeler, washer, and cutter, runs on its own controls. Hook them all up for a full line, or just use them one at a time, up to you.Anything that touches the chicken feet is 304 stainless steel, food-grade. Waterproof, won't rust, rounded corners, smooth surfaces - no places for dirt to hide. Cleans up fast and meets hygiene standards.Motors are variable-frequency drives, so you can dial the conveyor speed up or down depending on how much you're running. Nice to have when orders fluctuate.The system is also built with future expansion in mind. Want to drop in a weight grader and vacuum packer later? Easy. Turns it into a full deep-processing line.Each unit has transition conveyors between them, so when the whole line is linked up, product flows through without getting stuck or spilling out.
