Did you know 12% of broiler chickens develop hematomas during conventional bleeding? That's $4.2 million wasted annually in a mid-sized processing plant. As you wrestle with blood-stained aprons and inconsistent bleed-out rates, smarter solutions like bleeding cone
s and specialized cages are rewriting the rules of humane, efficient poultry processing.

Our bleeding cone system achieves 98.7% blood drainage within 90 seconds - 34% faster than standard funnels. The secret? Three patented features:
Feature | Standard Cones | Our Design |
---|---|---|
Daily Throughput | 1,200 birds | 2,400 birds |
Water Usage | 15L/hour | 8L/hour |
Whether you process 500 or 50,000 birds daily, our bleeding cones adapt. Choose from:
Ideal for farms under 2,000 birds/day
▸ 6-cone configuration
▸ 220V/110V compatible
After installing 120 bleeding cones across 3 facilities:

A: A bleeding cone is a restraint device that holds poultry upside-down during slaughter to facilitate efficient blood drainage. It ensures humane handling while maintaining hygiene standards. This tool is critical for meat quality and food safety compliance.
A: Traditional cages for broiler chickens restrict movement, potentially causing stress and health issues. Modern designs prioritize space and ventilation to improve welfare. Alternatives like free-range systems are increasingly adopted for ethical farming.
A: Yes, bleeding cones are typically made of durable, food-grade plastic or stainless steel for easy sanitization. Regular cleaning with disinfectants prevents cross-contamination. Proper maintenance ensures compliance with food safety regulations.
A: Sloping floors in broiler chicken cages allow eggs to roll into collection trays, reducing breakage and contamination. This design also simplifies waste management. However, it may limit natural behaviors like scratching and perching.
A: Modern bleeding cones are often integrated with automated slaughter lines for speed and consistency. They sync with stunning and feather-removal equipment to streamline processing. Automation reduces labor costs and improves throughput in large-scale operations.
