Chicken Head and Claw Spiral Pre-cooling Machine

Head & Feet Spiral Pre-chiller

In poultry processing plants, effective chilling of by-products such as chicken heads and feet is an essential step to reduce product temperature, maintain hygiene, and preserve product quality before further handling or packing. Within a complete poultry slaughtering line, heads and feet are typically separated from the carcass and transferred to a dedicated by-product processing section, where rapid and uniform pre-chilling is required.

The Head & Feet Spiral Pre-chiller is designed to keep poultry heads and feet fully immersed in cold water for a controlled period, allowing the product temperature to be reduced efficiently and evenly. The spiral conveying structure ensures continuous movement of the products through the chilling tank, while an integrated air blower agitation system keeps the water in constant motion, maintaining uniform temperature distribution throughout the process. An overflow structure on the feeding side helps maintain the correct water level during continuous operation, ensuring stable and consistent chilling performance.

Fully manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this spiral pre-chiller meets hygiene requirements for poultry processing equipment and offers reliable performance in wet processing environments. Effective chilling can be achieved using ice water or by directly adding flake ice, making the system suitable for different production capacities and cooling demands. With its continuous operation, high production efficiency, and easy operation and maintenance, the head and feet spiral pre-chiller can be smoothly integrated into modern poultry processing lines, supporting efficient by-product handling and improved product quality.
