Automatic Spiral Chicken Feet Scalder Machine

Product Overview

Compared with traditional manual soaking methods, the automatic spiral feet scalder provides better processing consistency, higher production efficiency and improved hygiene control.

The machine is mainly installed after the poultry slaughter line foot cutting section and before the chicken feet peeling machine. It can be integrated into a complete chicken feet processing system including feet peeling, washing, chilling and packaging equipment.

The equipment is widely used in commercial poultry processing plants producing fresh or frozen chicken feet for domestic consumption and export markets.

Working Principle

After chicken feet are separated from poultry carcasses, they are automatically transferred into the inlet of the spiral feet scalder.

The internal spiral conveyor rotates continuously and pushes the chicken feet forward while keeping them fully immersed in hot water.

During transportation, controlled hot water temperature softens the yellow outer skin layer and loosens the connection between skin and feet surface.

The adjustable conveying speed controls the scalding time according to different chicken varieties and production requirements.

After completing the heating process, the spiral discharge mechanism automatically sends the treated chicken feet to the next processing stage, usually a chicken feet peeling machine.

The continuous circulation of hot water and stable mechanical conveying ensure uniform treatment and reduce damage to the final product.

Main Features

1. Spiral Continuous Conveying Design

The spiral structure allows chicken feet to move smoothly inside the tank while maintaining sufficient contact time with hot water.

Benefits:

• Uniform scalding effect

• Continuous production operation

• Reduced manual handling

2. Food Grade Stainless Steel Construction

The machine is manufactured with stainless steel materials suitable for food processing environments.

Advantages:

• Corrosion resistance

• Easy cleaning

• Long service life

• Meets hygiene requirements of poultry plants

3. Adjustable Processing Time

The conveying speed can be adjusted according to:

• Chicken feet size

• Processing capacity

• Required peeling performance

This helps achieve stable results before the peeling process.

4. Automatic Temperature Control System

The heating system maintains stable water temperature during operation.

Advantages:

• Prevents insufficient scalding

• Avoids excessive heating

• Improves peeling efficiency

5. Easy Integration Into Processing Lines

The machine can connect with:

• Poultry slaughter line

• Feet cutting machine

• Chicken feet peeling machine

• Spiral chilling system

• Packing line

Technical Specifications

Technical parameters can be customized according to factory layout and production capacity.
