Poultry pre-scald and evisceration scrubbers
In poultry processing, it is crucial to minimize bacterial contamination while ensuring the carcass remains intact and undamaged. Traditional washing systems often struggle to thoroughly clean the bird’s exterior without causing damage.

Reduce contaminants and improve carcass hygiene
The Prime PSS & EBS Pre-Scald and Evisceration Bird Scrubbers from JBT are inline cabinet systems that employ two rotating antimicrobial brushes to clean chicken and turkey carcasses effectively. The Pre-Scald Scrubber uses stiff bristles to remove fecal matter and reduce bacterial presence before scalding, while the Evisceration Scrubber utilizes medium or soft bristles to gently clean excess contaminants before the Inside/Outside Bird Washer. These systems offer varying brush aggressiveness and lengths, allowing fine-tuned adjustment to accommodate different bird sizes and line positions. Key metrics include electrical requirements of 2x 2 hp motors at 230/460V, 3 phase, 60 Hz, and water needs of 50-100 GPM at 30-60 PSI, with an overall weight of 1,750 lbs (794 kg). These technologies are indispensable in poultry processing facilities focusing on high hygiene standards and low contamination risks.
