Product Name: Carcass Water Dripping Machine
I. Product Overview
The Carcass Water Dripping Machine is a specialized automated unit essential for moisture management within a poultry processing line. Primarily utilized after the spiral pre-chilling stage, this machine is designed to effectively separate excess water from the bird’s surface and internal cavity. Its structure consists of a robust frame, a rotating dripping drum, an inspection door, and a centralized water collection trough. Engineered with industrial hygiene and efficiency in mind, it provides a seamless mechanical alternative to labor-intensive manual dripping, ensuring a continuous and synchronized production flow in modern slaughtering facilities.
II. Functions & Workflow
The core function of this equipment is to strip away moisture carried by the carcasses during transit from the chiller. The workflow begins as carcasses enter the rotating drum through an inlet hopper or slide. Inside the drum, a series of spiral vanes or augers, set at a precise pitch, gently propel the carcasses forward as the drum rotates. This mechanical tumbling action ensures that water trapped in the body cavity and skin folds is released and directed into the collection trough below for drainage. This process solves the critical problem of weight inconsistency and potential bacterial growth caused by excess moisture, ensuring the carcasses are perfectly prepared for subsequent grading, weighing, and packaging stages.
III. Materials & Build Quality
To withstand the constant moisture and chemical cleaning typical of a slaughterhouse environment, the entire Carcass Water Dripping Machine is constructed from high-grade SUS304 stainless steel. The dripping drum is fabricated using precision-pulled round steel and reinforced flanges for maximum structural integrity. The equipment features waterproof drive systems and high-precision bearings to ensure long-term reliability. All surfaces are polished to a smooth finish to prevent protein adhesion and ensure easy cleaning, complying with strict international food hygiene standards. The inclusion of lateral inspection doors allows for easy internal access and daily maintenance, emphasizing the machine’s long service life and high build quality.

V. Capacity & Performance
This Carcass Water Dripping Machine is engineered for continuous, high-intensity industrial operation with a rated capacity of 3,000 birds per hour (BPH). The integration of a variable frequency drive (VFD) allows the rotation speed and throughput to be synchronized with the rest of the processing line. Its robust mechanical design ensures low noise and high stability even during 24-hour operation cycles. By delivering consistent moisture removal performance, the machine helps maintain high product quality standards and reduces the failure rate of downstream automated weighing and packaging equipment, providing exceptional reliability under peak production loads.
VI. Application Scenarios
The equipment is a vital component for small to medium-scale poultry slaughtering plants and specialized deep-processing workshops that lack a dedicated long-distance drip line. It is highly compatible with various poultry types, including broilers, layers, and ducks, with drum specifications that can be customized to bird size. It is specifically suited for facilities aiming to optimize their cold chain logistics and improve the accuracy of their final product weights, making it a professional choice for enterprises striving for export-grade food safety and process modernization.
