LINCO - 2009 LINCO Water chiller/Spin chiller/Poultry

Applications & Use Cases

• Rapid cooling of poultry carcasses post-slaughter to inhibit bacterial growth.
• Achieving target core temperatures for poultry products in processing lines.
• Integrating into automated poultry processing systems for continuous operation.
• Used in facilities requiring high throughput chilling of birds.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to several thousand birds per hour, depending on the specific configuration and chilling requirements.

Power supply

Commonly, industrial chillers of this type require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor sizes and pump capacities.

Footprint

Spin chillers are often modular and can be configured to various lengths. Units of this type typically require a significant linear footprint within a processing hall.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, durability, and corrosion resistance in wet processing environments.

Chilling medium

These systems primarily use chilled water, often recirculated and filtered, to achieve rapid temperature reduction.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, sanitisation, and inspection of motors, pumps, and water filtration systems are typically required to ensure operational efficiency and hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a spin chiller?

  A spin chiller is a piece of poultry processing equipment designed to rapidly cool poultry carcasses by immersing them in a bath of chilled, agitated water. The 'spin' refers to the rotational movement that ensures even cooling.

• How does a spin chiller differ from an air chiller?

• Are these units suitable for other types of meat?

• What are the typical water consumption rates?

• What kind of refrigeration system is needed for a spin chiller?
