Meyn - Used MEYN Air Chill

Applications & Use Cases

• Cooling poultry carcasses post-slaughter to reduce core temperature.
• Preparing poultry for further processing or packaging by improving meat quality and shelf life.
• Integrating into automated poultry processing lines for continuous chilling operations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Air chill systems of this scale typically handle several thousand birds per hour, depending on line speed and chilling duration.

Chilling method

For this class of equipment, forced cold air circulation is used to reduce carcass temperature.

Chain length

This unit specifies 4500m of chain, which is substantial and indicates a high-capacity or extended chilling time system.

Components included

Commonly, units of this type include the chilling chain, shackles, trolleys, and T-track for carcass conveyance.

Power supply

Air chill systems typically require a robust industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for fans and drive motors.

Refrigeration requirement

While not part of the chill unit itself, these systems require a separate, high-capacity refrigeration plant to supply the cold air.

Footprint

Due to the extensive chain length, air chill systems typically require a significant linear footprint within the processing facility.
