Pig Drag Scalding

FuncTIONALITY

The Mecanova MECPULL scalding system is easy to install in any production line. It is recommended for productions of between 120 and 300 pigs per hour, although it can be designed for higher productions. The MECPULL requires a conveyor, which drags the pigs through the scalding, overcoming the strong gap between bleeding and scalding.

The heating is carried out by steam throughout the entire machine. Temperature control is achieved through a pneumatic steam modulation valve.

ADVANTAGES OF THE EQUIPMENT

1. Fast and highly accurate water heating system
2. Optimized design for minimal water consumption
3. Needs low maintenance
