Product Overview
The Automatic Spiral Chicken Feet Scalder Machine is specially designed for poultry slaughterhouses and chicken feet processing plants to prepare chicken paws before the peeling process.
During chicken feet processing, the outer yellow skin must be softened and loosened before entering the feet peeling machine. This equipment uses a spiral conveying structure to move chicken feet continuously through hot water, ensuring stable scalding time and uniform heat transfer.
Compared with traditional manual soaking methods, the automatic spiral feet scalder provides better processing consistency, higher production efficiency and improved hygiene control.
The machine is mainly installed after the poultry slaughter line foot cutting section and before the chicken feet peeling machine. It can be integrated into a complete chicken feet processing system including feet peeling, washing, chilling and packaging equipment.
The equipment is widely used in commercial poultry processing plants producing fresh or frozen chicken feet for domestic consumption and export markets.
Working Principle
After chicken feet are separated from poultry carcasses, they are automatically transferred into the inlet of the spiral feet scalder.
The internal spiral conveyor rotates continuously and pushes the chicken feet forward while keeping them fully immersed in hot water.
During transportation, controlled hot water temperature softens the yellow outer skin layer and loosens the connection between skin and feet surface.
The adjustable conveying speed controls the scalding time according to different chicken varieties and production requirements.
After completing the heating process, the spiral discharge mechanism automatically sends the treated chicken feet to the next processing stage, usually a chicken feet peeling machine.
The continuous circulation of hot water and stable mechanical conveying ensure uniform treatment and reduce damage to the final product.
