Scalder
An excellent plucking phase depends on proper scalding, which basically means correctly balancing stay time in the water and water temperature to the aim of facilitating operations and guarantee an excellent final product.

Birds bathe into hot water but, for an excellent plucking, we installed air diffusers on the scalder bottom in order to stir feathers and improve contact with water. We managed to shorten stay time in the scalder, to improve yield and to increase the quality of plucking because feathers are easily removed.
Verderio scalders are modular, customized machines and are equipped with an automatic temperature control system which maintains the set temperature with a maximum tolerance of a tenth of degree. It is possible to preprogram the scalder weekly schedule of fill and preheating by means of a single control software.
