Stainless Steel Waxing Tank for Duck & Goose Slaughterhouse

Product Overview

Huatao automatic wax dip pool is designed for:

• Duck slaughterhouses

• Goose processing plants

• Waterfowl export processing factories

The system provides:

• Uniform wax coating

• Stable temperature control

• Continuous production operation

• Easy integration with overhead conveyor lines

Wax dipping, cooling and dewaxing are commonly arranged as a complete processing section in industrial duck slaughter lines.

Working Principle

The duck carcasses enter the wax dip pool through the overhead conveyor after the scalding and plucking process.

During operation:

• Food-grade wax is heated and maintained at the required working temperature.

• The hanging duck carcasses are lowered into the wax tank.

• The melted wax completely covers the skin surface and remaining fine feathers.

• After leaving the wax pool, the carcasses move to the cooling section.

• The cooled wax layer is removed together with residual feathers during the dewaxing process.

The dipping depth and residence time can be adjusted according to:

• Duck size

• Wax temperature

• Conveyor speed

• Production capacity

Wax Processing Parameters

Application

The automatic duck wax dip pool is mainly used in waterfowl slaughterhouses where high-quality feather removal is required.

After scalding and mechanical plucking, ducks and geese still contain small feathers and down that affect the final product appearance. 

The wax dipping process creates a complete wax coating around the carcass. After cooling and hardening, the wax layer can be removed efficiently together with remaining feathers.

Typical applications include:

• Duck meat processing factories

• Goose slaughterhouses

• Frozen duck export plants

• Large-scale waterfowl processing lines

The equipment is especially suitable for markets requiring high-quality duck skin appearance and clean carcass presentation.

Application Case

Case 1: 5000 BPH Duck Processing Plant

A duck processing company producing frozen duck products required an automatic waxing system to improve pin feather removal.

Huatao supplied:

• Wax dip pool

• Wax cooling pool

• Dewaxing equipment connection

Case 2: Waterfowl Processing Line Upgrade

A customer upgraded an existing duck slaughter line and required higher automation.

Huatao customized the wax dipping system according to:

• Existing conveyor height 

• Production speed 

• Factory layout 

The upgraded line achieved better hygiene control and product consistency.

• Improves Feather Removal Quality
  The wax dipping process effectively captures fine feathers and down.

• Stable Continuous Production
  Integrated with automatic conveyor systems for industrial processing.

• Better Product Appearance
  Produces cleaner duck skin surfaces for export markets.

• Lower Labor Requirement
  Automation reduces manual dipping operations.

• Easy Maintenance
  Stainless steel structure simplifies cleaning and daily maintenance.
