Chicken Head & Feet Spiral Pre-chiller for Poultry Slaughter Lines

Head & Feet Spiral Pre-chiller

The Spiral Feet Pre-chiller is an essential unit in modern poultry processing lines, specially designed to immerse chicken feet in cold water for a set period to rapidly reduce their temperature. This chilling process is crucial for preserving freshness and ensuring hygiene before further processing in chicken processing plants or meat processing facilities.

Widely used in poultry slaughterhouses, the system helps improve product shelf life and quality, serving as a key component of comprehensive slaughtering equipment.

Equipped with a powerful air blower, the unit agitates the water to maintain a uniform temperature. An overflow at the feeding end ensures a stable water level, supporting consistent and continuous operation in high-capacity production environments.

How the Spiral Pre-chiller Works

Chicken heads and feet are immersed in cold water for a set period to lower
their temperature quickly after scalding and peeling. A powerful air blower
agitates the water so the temperature stays uniform, and an overflow at the
feeding end keeps the water level stable for continuous operation. The unit
runs on ice water or flake ice.

Where It Fits in the Line

In a chicken feet processing line, the pre-chiller sits after scalding and
peeling and before further processing such as grading, cutting and packaging.

Key Advantages

- Fast, even cooling through spiral transport and air agitation
