The electric scalding machine heats water to loosen feathers on slaughtered birds before they go into the plucker. It suits broilers, old layers, cockerels and turkeys. The tank and body are stainless steel, and a twist knob thermostat with Heat On and Heat Ready lights keeps water at the set temperature. It comes in 70-litre and 120-litre sizes, uses about 3kW at 220-240V, and has a drain for easy cleaning. It is cheaper to run than gas heating.

How to use
- Fill the tank about halfway with water.
- Set the thermostat to O, plug in and switch on.
- Set the temperature as the manual advises. Many processors use about 55-62°C for chicken; water that is too hot can tear the skin.
- When the light shows the water is ready, dip the birds and move them about briefly.
- Check a wing feather: if it pulls out easily, scalding is done. Do not leave birds in the water.
Care and maintenance
Drain and wash the tank after each session. Wipe the steel dry. Keep water away from the controls and check the cable before use.

Frequently asked questions
What generator size do I need for the scalder?
It uses about 3kW. A 10KVA generator or bigger is advised.
Should I choose 70L or 120L?
Pick by how many birds you process per batch. Ask us on WhatsApp for the batch size of each model.
How long should birds stay in the hot water?
Only until a wing feather pulls out easily, often less than a minute. Long dips damage the skin and cool the water.
What machine goes with the scalder?
A plucker (de-feathering machine). We also sell killing cones for the slaughter step.
