Poultry dual-cascade cooling system
In industrial poultry processing, maintaining optimal temperatures post-picking is essential for efficient downstream processing. A common challenge is solidifying emulsified fats quickly to enhance yield and improve chiller efficiency in subsequent steps.
Enhance yield and efficiency with effective cooling
The Prime DCC-1 Dual-Cascade Cooler from JBT is designed to immediately chill poultry after the final picker stage. This system uses overflow water from the chiller to reduce overall cooling costs and solidify fats emulsified during picking and scalding, resulting in improved yields and enhanced cooling efficiency down the processing line. Available in single- and dual-bank models, it reduces pre-chill bacteria counts, which is critical for food safety. The system’s electrical requirements include two 5 hp motors operating at 230/460/480V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 10 amps, and water requirements include a 4-inch sanitary pump line. With a net weight of 2,000 lbs and variability in production rates relative to line speed, this cooler offers flexibility and efficiency for medium to large-scale poultry processing operations.
