Automatic Chain Plate Chicken Feet Scalder Machine for Poultry Processing

Product Overview

Compared with traditional manual soaking methods, the automatic chain plate scalder provides better processing consistency, higher production efficiency and improved food hygiene.

The machine is mainly installed after chicken feet cutting and before:

• Chicken Feet Peeling Machine

• Washing System

• Chilling Equipment

• Packaging Line

The chain plate conveyor allows chicken feet to move smoothly through the scalding chamber while maintaining sufficient contact with hot water.

This design is especially suitable for medium and large poultry processing plants requiring continuous production.

Working Principle

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

The motor‑driven chain plate conveyor continuously moves chicken feet through the heated water tank.

During transportation, chicken feet remain fully immersed in hot water. The controlled temperature and adjustable conveying speed ensure sufficient scalding time.

The heating process softens the yellow keratinized skin layer and loosens the connection between the outer skin and chicken feet surface.

After completing the scalding process, the treated chicken feet are automatically discharged and transferred to the peeling machine.

The combination of:

• continuous chain conveying,

• stable hot water circulation,

• adjustable processing time,

ensures consistent preparation quality for the following peeling process.

Application Case

Chicken Feet Export Processing Factory – Vietnam

A poultry processing company in Vietnam produces frozen chicken feet for overseas markets.

The factory previously used manual hot water soaking, which caused:

• Uneven scalding results

• High labor requirements

• Unstable peeling performance

After installing an automatic chain plate chicken feet scalder, the production line was upgraded:
