- Efficient Slaughtering and Bleeding: The slaughter module is equipped with precision cutting tools to ensure quick bleeding, minimizing residual blood and enhancing product hygiene quality.
Scalding and Defeathering:
- Temperature-Controlled Scalding System: The scalding stage uses advanced temperature control technology to ensure feather loosening without damaging the skin. The equipment includes an automatic cleaning function to maintain the hygiene of the scalding machine.
- Efficient Defeathering Technology: The defeathering machine uses a rotating design to quickly and effectively remove feathers, reducing skin damage. An integrated feather collection system facilitates easy handling and recycling, keeping the production environment clean.
Evisceration and Viscera Processing:
- Automated Evisceration and Viscera Removal: The equipment ensures precise operation during evisceration, avoiding damage to surrounding tissues. The viscera processing system quickly and cleanly separates the viscera and sorts them according to different parts, reducing contamination risks.
- Efficient Washing and Sterilization: After evisceration, poultry undergoes multi-stage washing to ensure thorough cleaning inside and out, with sanitizers or high-temperature treatment used to eliminate potential pathogens and ensure food safety.
Cooling and Quality Preservation:
- Rapid Cooling Technology: Poultry is quickly cooled to a safe temperature range through air or water cooling systems, ensuring product freshness and preventing bacterial growth. The cooling system is designed with energy efficiency in mind, achieving rapid cooling with minimal energy consumption.
- Temperature and Humidity Control: The temperature and humidity are strictly controlled during the cooling stage to ensure the quality and texture of the poultry are preserved, further enhancing product shelf life.
Cutting and Deboning:
- Precision Cutting System: Automated cutting machines can cut poultry into different parts, such as breasts, legs, wings, etc., according to customer needs. High cutting precision reduces waste while maintaining the integrity of the meat.
- Efficient Deboning Technology: The equipment quickly removes poultry bones, retaining the maximum amount of meat and reducing the time and effort required for manual operations, thereby increasing production efficiency.
Packaging and Quality Inspection:
- Multiple Packaging Options: The packaging module supports various options such as vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, and frozen packaging to ensure the best condition of the product during transportation and storage.
