Features and Benefits

  • 26-Gallon Capacity: This large-capacity scalder can handle multiple birds at once, processing up to 4-6 chickens or other similar-sized birds. This increases productivity and saves time, making it ideal for professionals or families who need to process poultry quickly.

  • Manual Dunker: The included manual dunker allows for smooth and controlled immersion of birds into the water, ensuring even scalding for optimal feather removal. This feature reduces manual labor and ensures faster, more thorough processing without uneven results.

  • Stainless Steel Construction: Built with high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this scalder is designed for long-term durability. It withstands frequent use, exposure to heat, and water without rusting, making it a solid investment for regular use by both professionals and hobbyists.

  • Adjustable Temperature Control: With a thermostat that allows for precise control between 120°F to 160°F, users can set the perfect water temperature for different poultry types. This ensures a safe, efficient scalding process without causing damage to the birds’ skin or feathers.

  • Efficient Heating System: The scalder’s efficient heating system maintains consistent water temperatures, minimizing fluctuations. This helps reduce scalding time and ensures faster, more efficient processing with less need for constant temperature adjustments.

  • Compact Design with High Capacity: Despite its 26-gallon capacity, the scalder's compact design makes it suitable for smaller work environments. This makes it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized farms or backyard processors who need a high-performance machine without taking up too much space.

  • Important:

    DO NOT plug the unit into a power outlet or circuit breaker with less than 30 amps available. This unit has two electrical cords, which together require a total of 30 amps for safe operation. It is crucial to connect each cord to a separate electrical outlet that runs on independent circuits. Simply plugging them into different outlets on the same circuit is not enough. For proper operation and safety, each cord must be connected to its own dedicated circuit.
