Poultry industry machines process birds efficiently and safely. They handle everything from slaughter and carcass processing to cut-up, filleting, sorting, and packaging. We offer single machines and complete processing lines tailored to your plant’s size and workflow.
Modern poultry processing machines must combine efficiency, repeatability, and good quality control. Processing speed is important, but you also need maximum yield without manual corrections. That is why plants are increasingly investing in precise carcass guidance, process monitoring, and smart quality-control systems with cameras and sensors.
The global poultry equipment market grows steadily. This includes slaughter lines, defeathering and evisceration systems, portioning machines, deboning equipment, and packaging machines. According to The Business Research Company, this market will grow from USD 4.55 billion in 2025 to USD 6.37 billion in 2030. This means an average annual growth of about 7%. Automation, efficiency pressure, and strict hygiene standards drive this growth.
For industrial machinery, this is a high result. It shows how important automation has become in the food industry. Global demand for poultry meat continues to grow. Industrial farming expands, and hygiene requirements become stricter. Because of this, investing in modern poultry processing equipment drives the entire sector forward.
Poultry processing equipment market – current state and trends
The European poultry equipment market is mature and demanding. Plants increasingly invest in automation. They face rising labour costs and need to maintain high-quality, large-scale production. Today, poultry processing companies invest mainly in:
- automated poultry processing lines,
- precise cut-up and filleting systems,
- machines that reduce water and energy consumption,
- smart quality control systems based on cameras and sensors.
In Europe, hygiene-supporting technologies gain importance. For live bird handling and slaughter, you also need solutions that meet current animal welfare standards. This drives the demand for new poultry processing equipment that meets the latest industry norms. Rising labour costs and staff shortages push plants to automate even further.
For many medium-sized plants, buying used machines is a great way to grow on a budget. On the other hand, large plants do not always buy entirely new equipment. They often upgrade their existing lines to increase capacity and reduce raw material waste.

We offer new and used poultry processing machines. You can match our complete lines and single machines perfectly to your plant. We supply equipment for both small butcheries and large factories that operate nonstop.
We thoroughly inspect every machine in our stock. For used equipment, we inspect the components, replace worn parts, and fully service the machine. We clean, test, and refurbish the equipment so it is ready to work in your plant.
New or used poultry processing equipment?
Choosing between new and used poultry equipment is an important decision. It depends on your budget, required capacity, and long-term development strategy. A company building a new factory has different needs than a plant replacing a single machine. Your production profile also matters. It makes a difference whether you process whole birds, cut portions, or produce ready meals.
New poultry processing equipment gives you higher efficiency, greater precision, and lower energy and water consumption. This matters especially in large-scale production, where small savings add up to real money. Modern control systems let you set parameters precisely and integrate machines with other lines. You also get a manufacturer’s warranty and full technical support. Because of this, many companies treat new machines as a competitive advantage.
On the other hand, used poultry processing machines offer financial flexibility. They cost less and arrive faster. This makes them a great choice when you want to expand an existing line or increase capacity quickly.
We thoroughly inspect and service all used food processing equipment before selling it. We replace broken parts so the machines are ready to run in your plant immediately. Thanks to this, our used machines guarantee stable performance and consistent quality.
Poultry processing equipment buyback
We are active buyers of used poultry processing machines. This is a great solution if you modernise your plant, reduce production, or replace lines with newer models. It helps you recover capital and clear production space for your next steps.
We buy single machines and complete poultry processing lines. We act quickly. We evaluate your equipment within 24 hours and make a fast decision. If you accept the offer, we pay immediately. Then, we dismantle and collect the machines directly from your plant.
FAQ
Used poultry machines are a highly efficient and safe alternative to new equipment. Always check the seller’s reputation. At ERY Food Machinery, we only sell proven products that have undergone a full technical inspection or refurbishment. Your used machines will be perfectly safe when operated properly.
To choose the right poultry processing line, first define your planned capacity and final product. We suggest different machines for whole birds, and different ones for filleting or portioning.
During planning, decide how much raw material you process per hour or shift. This helps us match the machines exactly to your production scale. The equipment will not be oversized or too small.
We also adapt the line to your workflow and available space. Compact machines work perfectly in smaller companies. For large plants, we implement extensive, fast, and highly automated lines.
We always consider your future growth. You can easily expand our modular machines. This helps you adapt smoothly when your production grows, your product range changes, or your volume increases.
Yes, you can often expand your existing poultry processing line in stages. This works best when your current system uses a modular design. It lets you add new machines or functions without having to design everything from scratch.
Expanding your line means more than just adding a new machine. You will often need mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or software modifications. You must also update the controls and integrate the whole system. This helps you adapt your line to new products, different packaging, or greater automation.
However, your hall layout, available utilities, and internal logistics can limit your options. The line’s original capacity and format range also matter.
In poultry processing, always check your technological process. If you change packaging, portion size, or heating and cooling parameters, you must revalidate the process. This keeps your product safe and consistent.
Modular poultry processing lines work best for medium plants. You can adapt them to your current capacity and expand them later. Make sure the system integrates smoothly with your portioning, filleting, and packaging devices.
First, define your basic production parameters. You need to know the bird species, the machine’s purpose, and your required capacity in kg/hour or tonnes per shift. Also, check energy and water consumption, ease of cleaning, and availability of spare parts. Consider if the machine should only meet your current needs or provide extra capacity for the future.
Finally, check your budget and the expected delivery time. If you need a machine immediately, the secondary market is your best choice. Ordering a custom-built new machine can take from a few months to a year.
