Animal carcasses are thoroughly cleaned by a single pass through a cleaning unit having a pair of oscillating spray bar assemblies, each equipped with a plurality of nozzles arranged to collectively contact all exposed surfaces of the carcass. The cleaning unit is enclosed within an open-ended chamber having at either end a vestibular system of baffles for containing the spray liquid while permitting uninhibited passage of the carcasses.
