Abstract
Apparatus for scalding or chilling poultry carcasses or the like. Fans are positioned to recirculate a flow of air toward the path travelled by the birds, and droplets of heated or chilled water are introduced to the air stream. A flow of water advantageously is introduced immediately upstream of the fans, so that the fan blades atomize the water and direct the water droplets toward the carcasses.
