Meyn introduces new jet stream scalder for poultry

Meyn Poultry Processing Solutions has introduced a new jet stream scalder, which has a unique water flow system that pulls the carcasses down in a stream that moves with the line direction.

The application of a right balance between temperature and scalding time can ensure optimum feather removal. Effective scalding can also reduce processing time and optimise plucking result.

With Meyn's jet stream scalder, as the water flows with high velocity along the entire skin, the heat exchange is optimised resulting in a shorter processing time. The water pulls the bird down and makes it move along with the line direction. This way, scalding at high line speeds is no longer an issue as products are not dragged to the surface and scalded on only one side.

The Meyn jet stream scalder delivers an extreme uniform scalding result, independent of weight range or line speed, said the company, adding that this product is the first in a series of innovations it will unveil over the coming months.

Based in the Netherlands, Meyn Poultry Processing Solutions provides equipments, systems and services for poultry processing companies.
