Automatic Poultry Scalding Tank
Built for maximum scalding capacity with minimum labour. This Automatic Scalding Tank incorporates many features which eliminate unnecessary and time consuming motions from the scalding job. Designed for large production in limited space, no shackles or conveyors are needed. Birds are not confined, but tumble freely, thus ensuring a thorough scald. The accurate timing device and sensitive thermostat eliminate guesswork. This machine is available in three sizes.

No basket to open or shackles to load creates ease in loading. Just push the start button to begin operation, timer automatically resets to desired time. About ¼ through the cycle, birds are dumped to the bottom of the tank. Water sprays through the holes in platform onto the birds, giving a spray action scald. After the platform has made ½ of a cycle, the birds are completely submerged, but not confined and free to tumble in all positions. The birds are tumbled through the water by the revolving platform and then out of the water to the stop position. The platform rotates at 10 RPM and will rotate several times depending on the length of scald.
