Paw picker scalder for poultry processing

Cleans and Scalds Poultry Feet Efficiently

The Prime PPS Series Paw Picker Scalder by Prime Equipment Group offers a comprehensive solution for poultry processors focused on optimizing paw processing operations. This system uniquely addresses the challenge of efficiently scalding and cleaning poultry feet, enhancing product quality by removing ammonia burns while preserving paw integrity. Operated in conjunction with Prime’s In-Line Paw Scrubber, the scalding process achieves superior cleaning and conservation of resources, utilizing lower-temperature water that maintains fat content, resulting in increased final product weight. With a throughput of up to 375 paws per minute, the PPS Series supports continuous high-speed operations. Equipped with an air-assisted top cover lift, the design facilitates easy maintenance. Featuring a robust construction with a 10 to 15 hp motor, depending on model size (6, 8, or 10-foot options), and operating on 230/460V, 3 phase, 60 Hz power, this equipment is engineered for integration into existing processing lines, reducing hot water usage and operational costs while maximizing paw yield and efficiency.
