Vertical chicken gizzard cleaning machines are specialized equipment used in poultry slaughtering and processing, designed for the automated cleaning of chicken gizzards.
They effectively remove surface contaminants such as blood, mucus, and gastrointestinal residues, while also peeling away the yellow keratinous membrane (commonly known as “chicken gizzard lining”) and attached impurities from the inner wall.
In addition, the machine integrates esophagus cleaning functionality, ensuring that residual feed and digestive tract debris are thoroughly removed before further processing.
This significantly improves hygiene and safety, providing clean raw materials for subsequent procedures such as packaging, quick-freezing, and cooking.
Key benefits include:
- Reducing microbial contamination (e.g., Salmonella and E. coli) to meet food hygiene standards
- Improving product appearance by restoring the gizzard’s natural meat color, enhancing marketability
- Eliminating odors while preserving the original flavor
It is recommended to use drinking water during operation, as water quality directly affects cleaning performance. The machine is often used in conjunction with gutting and sorting machines, oiling machines, and quick-freezing lines for a fully integrated poultry processing solution.
