Paw picker scalder for poultry processing
In poultry processing, feet and paws need meticulous cleaning to remove contaminants like ammonia burns. A precise scalding process can significantly improve paw quality, impacting the final product yield and appearance.

Optimize paw cleanliness and maximize yield
The Prime PPS Series Paw Picker Scalder by JBT is designed for effective paw-pad cleaning in poultry processing. It uses hot water to clean and remove ammonia burns from feet, available in six, eight, and ten-foot options. When used in conjunction with the Prime In-Line Paw Scrubber, the system achieves maximum paw yield with reduced hot water usage. This contributes to lower operating costs and allows for the use of lower temperature water, preserving fat content to increase the final product’s weight. Simple in design and proven in performance, the PPS Series ensures easy maintenance with an air-assisted top cover lift.
