THE BOX

Shipping containers are manufactured in 
the Pacific Rim, filled with goods for export, and stacked eight high on ocean freighters. Their corrugated metal shells make them extremely strong, stackable, transportable, and relatively inexpensive. They are 40’ in length and 9’ in height. We use “one-trippers” that are like new.

Not included: site prep, rinse water disposal, utilities hook up, container off-load, front kill area for large animals. Prices subject to change.

EFFICIENCY

Because of minimal worker steps, doubled cone/scald capacity, and an evisceration rail running down the middle, our design and space allow for maximum equipment utilization with up to eight workers. Equipment capacity is 8-9 birds per minute, nearly 500 birds per hour. Peak human performance measured thus far on our scale 
is 48 birds per person per hour. With five experienced operators the PIB can process 200 birds per hour.
