POULTRY SCALD TANKS

Type: OD-1 / 2 / 3
The Scald tank is designed for scalding all types of poultry.

The poultry Scalder is made of stainless, acid-resistant materials. Its length and width are
adjusted to the throughput and size of poultry processing factory. Water temperature is
automatically controlled. The heating medium in the Scalder may be live steam, a steam
exchanger or hot water. Steam for the Scalder may be produced in a steam generator/boiler.
After killing and bleeding, birds are transported to the Scalder in shackles on the overhead
conveyor. Inside the Scalder each bird is immersed in hot water for a predefined amount of
time. Hot water reaches bird’s skin and feathers, which allows for later defeathering in a plucker.
Penetration of water between feathers is facilitated by pumps, placed in the Scalder. The most
effective solution is to use special air turbines instead of pumps. These turbines not only allow
hot steam to escape from the Scalder but also pump it into water again to provide thorough
stirring. Depending on the layout of the processing line, the Scalder may consist of one, two,
three or even four parallel tracks.

INTESTINE PUMP
Type: DL-45
The intestine pump is designed for transporting post-slaughter offal from the evisceration room
to the storage area.

The basic element is a pump with a drive unit, an inlet hopper and the piping system for offal
transport. The driving mechanism of the pump rotates the rotor, fitted with two rollers, mounted
in alternating positions. The intestine is then pressed by the rollers, resulting in cutting off the
delivery side from the suction side. Expansion of the intestine to its original shape (on the
suction side), right behind the roller, results in creating negative pressure which sucks the offal
from the inlet hopper. The offal, found between the rollers in the intestine, is pushed towards the
delivery pipe. The pressure from the roller on the delivery side pushes offal into the piping
system and transports it to the destination. Effective operation of the pump depends on the
flexibility of the intestine, i.e. its ability to return to the original shape after being pressed by the
rollers.

AIR CHILLING LINE
The chilling process is very

important in poultry slaughtering
technology. For long life of
carcasses, the most effective chilling
system is air-chilling in tunnels, on
the overhead conveyor. Design of
the overhead conveyor allows for
any horizontal and vertical layout of
its course. This is why, for effective
use of space, the conveyor is
usually mounted on two levels in the
chilling room.
Figure: Birds transported inside the chilling room

A standard overhead conveyor is based on 1” carrying chain. The main components of the
conveyor include: a drive unit, a tension unit, straight tracks, vertical bends, chain trolleys,
shackles, horizontal turning bends, which – depending on bird size and carcass hanging system
(one, two or more on a single shackle) – can have different diameters: Ø 291, 340, 388, 436,
485mm, and in some cases even more. The chain conveyor is suspended from the supporting
structure, which is manufactured separately in accordance with customer’s guidelines.
Depending on its length and load, the conveyor can be equipped with one or more drive and
tension units.
Advantages of the overhead conveyor:

• design of individual components and methods of connecting them, allow for deploying
any layout of the conveyor, which will satisfy customer’s needs and requirements
• simple design allows for fast and easy replacement of parts
• 1” carrying chain allows for using various shackle sizes, at spacing which will match the
transported poultry type
• simple and clear design provides easy access to individual components for proper
cleaning and maintenance
• the use of high-quality materials ensures durability and failure-free operation.

The casing and spiral of the chiller are made of stainless, acid-resistant materials, the drive – a
worm gear powered by a 380V electric motor, with power rating matching the chiller size, not
exceeding 1.5kW, in a stainless-steel enclosure. Birds fall into the chiller directly from the
releaser, or are manually placed at the front of the water tank and then transported by the spiral
to the back of it, where chilled birds are automatically ejected. It is recommended to use a set of
two chillers or a single chiller divided into two tanks with a partition. Birds are automatically
moved from one tank to the other. Each tank has separate water drain and overflow. Such
solution allows for effective water usage and maintaining proper quality of chilled poultry.

VACCUUM OFFAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM

Type: TOP-1/2
The vacuum offal transport system is designed for convenient transporting

of post-slaughter offal from various locations of the processing plant (slaughtering, evisceration
etc.).

Offal originating in the technological process is characterised by various physical properties and
has different destinations at further processing stages. For example,
it can be used as fodder substrate. Offal is divided into three types: feet, heads and intestines.
This division determines the necessity of using three paths. As shown in
the figure below, at the beginning of each path there is a charging hopper (6). Offal
is transported in a closed conduit (acid-resistant, stainless piping) to the separating tank (3).
Mass collected in the tanks is removed at appropriate time by opening the bottom flap. Offal
falls from the tanks to a container (7). Transport in each path takes place in an alternating
manner in automatic cycle. The executive system consists of pneumatic cylinders of very high
durability and reliability. Automatic control is performed by a special clock unit (5), equipped with
time adjustment system. Offal transport is based on the principle of negative pressure, which is
one of its major advantages. Easy deployment and control of each path is another important
benefit.

plants.

The device is equipped with a high capacity balance tank, for reducing waste water turbulence.
In the upper part of the chamber, there is an overflow, used for directing the stream to the filter
element. An adjustable aperture ensures even flow along the entire width of the strainer and
prevents rapid flow of the liquid. The suspension is separated from the liquid when passing
through a specially shaped filter element. Solid particles flow down by forces of gravity and the
separated liquid flows into the main chamber of the device. The size of captured solids depends
on the slot size and can be: 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.6mm or other. The filter element used is
characterised by very high precision of slot size and very high smoothness of the working
surface. Simple design and high-quality materials ensure easy and reliable operation of the
device.

The single-stand de-boner is mounted to the table, worktop etc. It is made mostly from stainless,
acid-resistant materials, aluminium and food-approved plastic.
The main units of the de-boner are:
Frame made of closed profiles
Cylinders for controlling the operation of the de-boner
Guides of the pushing-out unit
Mechanism for pushing out the bone
Rubber insert
Working table
Pneumatic bone cutter
Design and principle of operation:
Upon a frame made mostly of closed profiles, there are two

pneumatic cylinders which provide drive for the machine.
The machine is controlled with a button located at the marked spot.
Pressing the button makes the sleeve and a PE piston – fastened
to the slider – move downwards along two guides, which pushes
the thigh or shank bone, placed between the piston and the rubber
insert, through the opening in the insert. Deboned meat is left on
the rubber insert. The bone is cut off with a pneumatic cutter
mounted just below the working table.
Installed power: 200W
Voltage: 230V, 50Hz
Capacity: ~ 280 pcs/h
Operators: 1 person

WEIGHT GRADING & SORTING

The purpose of weight sorting is segregation of slaughtered birds. During the sorting process,
each shackle with a suspended chicken is lifted, in order to provide as accurate weighing results
as possible (with proper settings and calibration, the deviation should not exceed +/- 0.3%).

The weight sorting line includes an overhead chain conveyor with special shackles, a weighing
bridge, ejecting stations, computer operational system, drop chute with a roller conveyor.
The design of the conveyor allows for any desired layout.
The entire sorting process is controlled by the computer system.
Installed power: 1.1kW / 1,400rpm
Voltage: 400V / 50Hz
Capacity: up to 6,000bph

WATER TREATMENT - FLOTATION TANK

Flotation is a technological process applied in wastewater treatment for separating fractions
lighter than the liquid. Substances lighter than water (e.g. fat) tend to form surface scum, which
is easy to remove. However, we often want to separate substances whose specific gravity is
close to that of water, which simply float below surface, or for which it takes too much time to
emerge. Thanks to chemical support in the flotation process, removal of fats becomes
significantly more effective.
One of the main elements of flotation is the flotation unit constructed of stainless steel, equipped
in its upper part with a sweeper with a tubular flocculator, where equalised and pre-treated
sewage are directed. Flotation efficiency depends on the size of air bubbles produced in the
process – the smaller the bubbles the higher the flotation efficiency.
A flotation system usually consists of the following elements:
screen
equalisation tank
flocculator (mixer in which reacting substances are batched)
flotation unit
polyelectrolyte preparation unit
sludge collection system
pre-treated wastewater collection system.
