On December 19, 2025, HW Machinery, a leading Chinese manufacturer of poultry processing equipment, poultry slaughter equipment, and turnkey slaughter line solutions, officially received the project deposit for a 300–500 BPH Halal Poultry Processing Line / Chicken Slaughter Line from a customer in South Africa.
Although this project is modest in scale, it carries significant strategic and practical importance. HW Machinery looks forward to delivering reliable, hygienic, and cost-effective chicken processing equipment that will help the customer and the local poultry farm create long-term operational value.
Project Background & Customer Requirements
The cooperation began on May 16, 2025, when the South African client first contacted HW Machinery seeking a 500 BPH Halal chicken slaughter line.
From a cost-efficiency and operational simplicity perspective, HW Machinery initially recommended a 500 BPH Compact Poultry Processing Line, as all equipment is fully assembled, installed, and tested in the factory before shipment. For production capacities below 1000 BPH, compact chicken slaughter lines are often the most efficient and economical solution, and HW Machinery has successfully exported many such systems worldwide.
However, during ongoing discussions with local regulatory authorities, the customer was required to strictly separate the “dirty zone” and “clean zone” within the slaughterhouse, in compliance with South African regulations and halal processing standards.
Customized Poultry Slaughter Line Design
Based on the customer’s factory layout drawings and confirmed 500 BPH capacity requirement, HW Machinery’s engineering team redesigned the poultry slaughter line, optimized the poultry slaughter process, and provided a revised technical proposal and quotation.
Multiple rounds of detailed discussions followed, covering:
Hygienic zoning and workflow optimization
Halal-compliant stunning and slaughtering process
Equipment configuration and material selection
Future scalability and ease of maintenance
After thorough technical alignment, the customer basically confirmed the project order.
Factory Visit & Technical Evaluation
On August 24, 2025, the South African customer entrusted their Shanghai-based representative, Mr. Weng, to conduct an on-site factory inspection at HW Machinery’s poultry processing equipment and chicken slaughter machinery manufacturing base.
During the visit, Mr. Weng carefully inspected:
A 500 BPH compact chicken slaughter line and its full processing workflow
Large quantities of poultry processing line equipment awaiting shipment or under production, including:
Poultry plucker machines
Automatic poultry scalder machines
Chicken spin chiller machines
Automatic chicken feet cutters
Water-bath stunning machines
Vacuum lung suction machines

Overhead rail systems
Attention to Detail That Makes the Difference

Waterproof protection on plucker machine bearings, significantly extending service life
Customized oil holes inside bearings, ensuring continuous lubrication
Heavy-duty materials and solid construction, designed for long-term industrial use
Every design detail reflects HW Machinery’s commitment to delivering smooth operation, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs for customers.
Why the Customer Chose HW Machinery

Equipment quality and processing details
Slaughter line design capability
Halal poultry slaughter compliance
Manufacturing strength and factory transparency
The customer ultimately selected HW Machinery as their trusted partner.

Live bird hanging
Water-bath stunning (or halal slaughter way)
Bleeding
