Unique feature in Meyn’s cropping machine is the patented neck support block. This neck support block assures that the neck is kept in a uniform position as the cropper drill removes crop rests, the oesophagus and trachea. The extended stroke and the increased number of revolutions allow for a thorough cleaning of the neck skin. Highly important factor is to keep the neck skin intact as damages to the neck skin can cause weight loss or the downgrading of the griller.

Furthermore, the drill drive mechanism reduces mechanical wear and assures an extended spindle life cycle allowing for decreased maintenance intervals and costs.
