Poultry chiller for efficient whole-bird processing
In poultry processing, maintaining consistent temperatures during chilling is crucial. Overhead structures, floating birds, and unsafe temperature fluctuations can severely impact product quality and safety. Solutions must address these specific challenges to improve throughput and reduce potential contamination.
Maintain consistent temperatures and submerge birds
The NEOCAT Chiller by JBT’s Cooling & Applied Tech (C.A.T.) brand is designed to optimize poultry chilling with innovative features. Its hanger bearing design ensures birds remain fully submerged, preventing floating and maintaining consistent temperatures. The system allows for either a 30% reduction in footprint or a 30% increase in capacity, offering flexibility based on production needs. Measuring between 8’ to 12’ in diameter, 95’ in length, and 10’11” to 14’11” in height, the compact design saves valuable floor space. Automated cleaning further enhances efficiency by reducing manual labor while maintaining high safety and cleanliness standards.
Benefits
- Smaller footprint or increased capacity options
