Case Study

Kenyan Farm Adds On-Site Processing for Direct Market Supply

A poultry farm in Kenya wanted to capture more value by processing their own birds instead of selling live at farm-gate prices. We supplied a small scale chicken abattoir with a batch scalder, tabletop plucker, and compact evisceration station that fit into an existing farm building. The line processes several hundred birds per day with a small team. The farm now supplies dressed chicken directly to local restaurants and retailers, achieving a notable improvement in profit margins per bird.

Ghanaian Entrepreneur Launches Mobile Processing Service

An entrepreneur in Ghana started a mobile processing service using a small scale chicken abattoir installed in a converted shipping container. We designed a compact line with a gas-heated scalder, manual plucker, and stainless steel evisceration table that could operate on a generator. The mobile unit travels to different farms on scheduled days, processing birds on site. The business has grown steadily, serving over a dozen farms within a regional radius.

Vietnamese Family Business Expands from Wet Market Sales

A family-run poultry business in Vietnam upgraded from selling live birds at wet markets to operating a small scale chicken abattoir. We supplied a compact processing line with electric stunning, a small scalding tank, and a manual evisceration station. The family processes birds daily for their own retail shop and wholesale supply to local restaurants. The investment was recovered within a short period and the business has since added a second shift to meet growing demand.

A small scale chicken abattoir from Zhucheng Stantham Industry & Trade Co., Ltd., brings factory-grade manufacturing quality to entry-level processing operations. We understand that small-scale processors face different challenges than large industrial plants. Budgets are tighter, space is limited, and operators often have limited technical training.

All machines are built in our own factory in Zhucheng, Shandong, using 304 stainless steel from TISCO with nickel content verified by German SPECTRO analysis. A typical small scale chicken abattoir includes a manual or semi-automatic hanging station, an electric stunner or killing cone, a batch or continuous scalding tank with digital temperature control, a tabletop or small vertical plucking machine, and a stainless steel evisceration table with tool holders and waste chutes. An immersion precooling tank completes the line. The equipment is designed for tool-free daily disassembly and cleaning, with smooth welds and sloped surfaces that prevent water pooling. We offer flexible configurations to match your available space, whether it is a converted barn, a purpose-built shed, or a corner of an existing building. Our engineering team provides a custom layout drawing showing equipment placement and workflow direction. We also supply a detailed operating manual, sanitation schedule, and maintenance checklist.

We started our poultry processing business with a small scale chicken abattoir from Stantham. The equipment was affordable, well-built, and easy to set up with their video guidance.

As a small farm operator, I was looking for processing equipment that would not break the bank. Stantham's small scale abattoir package delivered exactly what I needed. The scalder and plucker work perfectly for our daily volume, and the stainless steel evisceration table is easy to keep clean. I have already recommended them to other farmers in my cooperative.
