Description
The turntables are constructed of top quality stainless steel. This includes a stainless steel trough, frame, legs, platforms, and male/female chutes. Standard tables are available for Sexing (feather or vent), Vaccinating, Debeaking, Toe Clipping, and Grading. Table sizes range from 2 working stations up to 24 working stations.

Features

• The sexing table includes individual male/female slide chutes for each sexor. The individual chutes enable the sexor to place the chick or poult on the chute, which provides sexor comfort and reduces stress on the chicks or poults with gentle handling.
• All required electrical wiring is included on the tables with a complete motor/starter control panel.
• Sexing tables can be equipped with a counting system that includes a count display in front of the individual sexors or a main panel count display with the option to connect to a computer.
• Chick/poult conveyors are constructed of top quality stainless steel with standard drive motors. The idler and drive rollers are also constructed of stainless steel with semi rough non-slip conveyor belting. The non-slip belting provides a better grip for the chicks or poults which ensures gentler handling.
