Abstract
A poultry washing and scalding process and system provides for a bird washing section at the bird exit and of the immersion section of the scalder. The birds are spray washed before exiting the system such that when arriving at the picking station, they are substantially bacteria free. Particles cleaned from the birds at the washing section are removed and pass directly into the liquid recirculating system without flowing into the immersion section of the scalder thereby avoiding any increase in bacteria therein. The birds are washed with water that has been recycled and mixed with add water, and the immersion section may be replenished with the same water.
