Poultry dual-cascade cooling system

Enhance your poultry processing line with precise chilling that solidifies fats and reduces bacterial loads, ensuring premium product quality and efficiency.

Chills and Congeals Fat in Poultry Processing

The DCC-1 Dual-Cascade Cooler from Prime Equipment Group is engineered to improve the chilling efficiency of poultry processing lines. It effectively cools chickens immediately after the final picking stage by using a cascade system that congeals emulsified fat, enhancing yield by up to 0.60%. The cooler employs an efficient design that utilizes chiller overflow water, reducing water cooling costs. With models available in single- and dual-bank configurations, it is adaptable to various line speeds and capacities, seamlessly integrating into continuous poultry, meat, and seafood operations. Equipped with (2) 5 hp motors and operating at 230/460/480V, it supports a wide range of industrial power requirements. The rugged construction ensures durability, while its integration into existing systems is straightforward, offering both operational efficiency and product quality improvements.
