Due to the complex structure of pig heads—including ear holes, eye sockets, nasal passages, and other recessed areas—mechanical hair removal cannot completely eliminate fine hairs, especially the downy hair found in ear folds, around the eyes, and inside the nostrils.
Therefore, rosin dehairing is an essential step in pig head processing, achieving a clean, thorough, and residue-free result.
For facilities seeking an automated solution, NPW offers the Automatic Pig Head & Hoof Singeing Machine.
This specialized equipment heats rosin to quickly melt and remove hair from pig heads and hooves while maintaining precise temperature control.
By combining traditional rosin dehairing effectiveness with automated operation, it ensures consistent, hygienic, and efficient processing—perfect for medium to large-scale slaughterhouses.
