A goat dehairing machine is a specialized piece of slaughterhouse equipment designed to automatically remove hair from scalded goat carcasses. It uses rotating shafts fitted with durable rubber fingers to rub, pull, and strip away hair efficiently. As a key component in modern halal slaughter lines and medium to large scale abattoirs, it replaces slow, inconsistent manual shearing with a fast, hygienic, and labor saving solution.
Our goat dehairing machine is also fully suitable for sheep, offering a versatile solution for processors handling both species. With a maximum capacity of 250 heads per hour (150–250 depending on breed and scalding conditions) and an effective dehairing length of 1800 mm, it significantly boosts productivity.

Rotating shafts with durable rubber fingers – Efficient gripping and hair removal. Food grade silicone rubber rated for continuous friction.
Hydraulic discharge shaft – Automatically ejects the animal after dehairing, reducing manual labor.
Pneumatic/hydraulic loading cradle – Lowers into scalding tank to retrieve scalded goats and transfers directly into the dehairing chamber.
Galvanized mild steel frame + stainless steel cover plates – Corrosion resistant, durable, and easy to clean.
>92% dehairing efficiency in 30–40 seconds – Fine hair in armpits or wrinkled areas may require singeing/polishing for 100%.
Optional PLC timer control – Enables automated timing and precision for consistent results.
Adjustable upper roller – Accommodates different body sizes (from small goats to large rams).
Chain drive with four rollers rotating in the same direction – Reliable power transmission with low failure rate.
Built in water spray pipe – Use warm water to wash away wool, blood, and dust during operation.
To ensure long term reliable operation of your goat dehairing machine, pay special attention to these three components:
The inner lining responsible for gripping and pulling away goat hair. Made from food safe silicone rubber compound rated for continuous friction exposure. Replace when fingers show significant wear (typically every 3,000–5,000 hours).
A waterproof gasket preventing dust and moisture ingress into electrical compartments – an often overlooked point that leads to premature motor burnout. Inspect monthly and replace if cracked or hardened.
Twin sealed ball bearings supporting main shaft alignment. Must remain free of fine particulate matter accumulated during cycling. Grease every two weeks under heavy use.
Maintenance checklist:
Daily: Clean rubber fingers, remove hair residues, spray with warm water.
Weekly: Check hydraulic oil level; lubricate chains and sprockets.
Monthly: Inspect seals and bearings for wear or leakage; verify motor rotation direction.
Quarterly: Tighten all bolts; check electrical connections; test emergency stop and safety features.
Follow these steps for optimal dehairing results:
Pre scalding – Scald the goat in a hot water tank at 65–68°C (adjust by breed, size, and season). Proper scalding is essential for high dehairing efficiency. Uneven scalding leads to poor hair removal.
Loading – Use the pneumatic/hydraulic cradle to retrieve the scalded goat from the tank and transfer it directly into the dehairing chamber.
Dehairing – Start the machine. The four shafts rotate in the same direction while rubber fingers rub the carcass. Spray warm water via the built in pipe to wash away hair, blood, and dust.
Ejection – After 30–40 seconds (or when dehairing is complete), the hydraulic discharge shaft automatically lifts and ejects the clean goat.
Post processing – Fine hair in armpits or wrinkled areas may require singeing or manual scraping. A polishing roller can be used for 100% cleanliness.
Important operational checks before use:
Confirm that the machine rotation direction matches the marked arrow.
Ensure the hydraulic station motor is in forward rotation; reverse rotation will cause the cylinder not to move.
Only operate after verifying correct rotation of both motors (main motor + hydraulic motor).
In house manufacturing – Strict quality control from raw material to finished product.
Advanced production lines – Precision welding, CNC machining, hydraulic system testing.
Professional engineering team – Custom designs for different throughput requirements (150–250 heads/hour) and plant layouts.
Export experience – Trusted by halal slaughterhouses in over 30 countries, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.
OEM / ODM support – Custom branding, color, and control system (PLC) available.
Spare parts & after sales support – Quick delivery of rubber fingers, seals, bearings, chains, and hydraulic components.
Technical documentation – We provide installation instructions, operation manuals, and maintenance guides in multiple languages.
