Vent Cutter

Vent Cutter

  • The Jarvis Vent Cutter is a specialized tool used in the poultry processing industry to remove the vent or cloaca from chickens and other poultry. The vent cutter features a sharp, circular blade that is placed around the vent of the bird, and with a quick motion, the blade cuts through the skin and muscle around the vent, allowing for the removal of the cloaca. This process is necessary to remove the bird’s internal organs, and the vent cutter is designed to streamline this process and reduce the risk of contamination. The Jarvis vent cutter is widely used in poultry processing plants and is known for its reliability and efficiency.

    • Ideal tool for high precision and extremely economical poultry vent removal, for any type or size of bird.
    • Labor reduction – high speed and efficient vent and rosebud gland removal allow a reduction in line personnel.
    • Increased yield – cut size is controlled by the vent gun, not the operator.
    • Reduced contamination – fecal material is sucked away as the Model VC removes vents.
    • Low maintenance, high reliability – a weekly greasing is all that’s required.
    • Low cost – the Model VC is economically priced with hardened surgical stainless blades for outstanding durability.
    • Meets national and international requirements for safety and hygiene.
